I remember eating this as a three year old living with my grandmother ( 5mos-4.5yrs old ) in the rainforest of Trinidad WI. The fruit was sweet and succulent to suck and I collected all the seeds to play with as they were smooth, shiny, cool and very sensually tactile to touch! Best memories of my life were the times I spent therein. Food grew everywhere and she had a large proper garden as well. I was the preemie she nursed to good health. She was born in 1899 and lived to be 105yrs. I am e
Wow, this video is 10 years old. I just saw your video in my recommended and I recognized your face in the context of growing food, so looked through your channel, and found this video that I watched a decade ago.
I noticed most of your most viewed vids were from the last year, great to see you’re still going strong and getting more attention than ever.
Peace and seeds from
*TEXAS!*
Thanks so much, glad to have you back here 😁
@@TheKiwiGrowerhi you gave me inspiration to grow plants a loot
I'm so jealous that you can grow these tropical fruit! No chance for them to survive where we are! Great video and thank you!
They are actually not tropical! You can grow them in more arid climates like Arizona or Southern California in the U.S
I love this fruit! I'm from Brazil and I know this by the name "Ingá". This is delicious! The taste is awesome! It's probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. Just amazing! btw gr8 video!
Nice...none of the exotic fruits this guy has shown grow in India :( I've heard that the jaboticaba fruit is also native to Brazil. Lucky You.
The only exotic fruit I can think of from India is the Litchi...but I'm sure you get those in brazil too.
Anshuman Tripathy Yes, jabuticaba it's very good! I think it's better than grape. Sweeter and everything. It's a shame that jabuticaba don't grow constantly, just a few times in the year. It's easy to find here. Ingá it's harder to find, even here, there are many people who doesn't know the fruit. My uncle has a farmer where grows some ingá trees. I'm very lucky! We have litchi here, but it is rare. We normally find it from sale only at december.
Indo Banged I'll try to get some seeds and if I can, I'll send you at no charge (just the price of the delivery). But there are a few years that I don't see one of these. I really wish you have it some day. Kind of reminds me cotton candy. =D
@@1234567anapaula please can I have some too. I'll pay you for the seed. Of course I have to pay for the delivery charge, no question. Since a long time I've been trying to get it. I even tried to buy them online at etsy.com but the seller says she can't send it to India.
I appreciate if you could help.
Qual é o gosto?
I really want to try this bean!!! I came so close to it when I was in Hawaii. Hope I'll come across it again soon and this time I won't let it run away.
Wendi Phan me too! I want to try an ice cream bean.
Why would it run away?
Michelle Mclemore don't think too hard about what that person said...that's what's going on here on youtube. People are playing a game tricking other people (some call it a mind f**k) into thinking/reading into things that aren't really going on...just to confuse you (the reader) for the thrill of it to see how far they can go by messing w u. You might ask them about it (like how you did) then they'll respond with an even more bewildering response, and it will go on and on like that...plotting confusion or false thoughts in your head
Why did you say it run away from u
you can find this fruit in the islands its really sweet
Brought back memories of my childhood in Puerto Rico. Used to eat these when visiting family in the mountains.
it is a common fruit in south of Brazil, the texture is soft and we call it Inga fruit. the Inga tree grows is very tall, I've seen some trees measuring up to 20 meters high.
Oh my goodness! I WANT one 😍 if it tastes like vanilla Icecream.
I love this fruit, grew up eating them!! The plant grows very tall and wide...depending on the climate.
i'm from veracruz and i enjoyed that fruit alot but i havent been in veracruz for 7 years
Beetle {Read bio} I’m from Veracruz as well never seem this fruit there , I try it before in Mexico tho taste so good 👍
Those sprouts taste really good after boiling to soften, and then you add lime and salt yum yum
I first tried this fruit when I traveled to Peru and among all the fruits that I had there for the first time this was the one that I liked the most. it's really delicious! it has a very pleasant taste with a refreshing sensation. No wonder it's called the ice cream bean!
I grew up in Costa Rica and always ate this fruit, we called it "Guava (wava)" and this is just a variation of its various types. There is one, similar to this fruit, called "Guajiniquil", which is also a treat to have.
If you call this guava what do you call guava (Psidium guajava)?
We call that "Guama" in colombia, I have tried that myself when I was down there visiting my grandmother and my god, I loved it! Got to try many other delicious tropical fruits, veggies and tubers.
Dayum that is the fruit of my childhood. Before i moved to Texas i lived in Guatemala and man did i love these. We called them Cuchines. They are the best ive always wanted to eat it again. I remember people would sell them by the 50 lb sac.
It is also known as sweat bean. One of my favorite tropical fruit when I was a kid
omg I love this we call them Paterna seeds in El salvador and yes the seed can be eaten raw with salt lime n chile sauce umm yummy I always wondered what they where called here thnx
My mom gave me some of those! It's like a floral cotton candy!
I remember eating this fruit in my native Grenada, however I dont remember the name of this fruit. Most of the trees as I remember always grew above rivers. It is delicious. I ate this fruit at least forty years ago.
Four years later now since this video, how are your Inga Bean plants doing?
I really wanna know too!
+Garland N 2 years??? wtf its 4 years
@@SilentJoNn 6 Years you Fool
Isaac Bauer 7 years YOU FOOL
Karina Fabian hahaaaaa forgot that I even replied to that
Man it sounds so delicious! I wish I was there to try some!
I love that fruit ,but in my country its known by "Paterna" in El Salvador, we had a tree in our yard.
GTA5 BOSS FTW lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ireDkQiuiRE/UXgTrkfWj6I/AAAAAAAAAP4/ay2QvXLwdBA/s646/bandera+nacional+ES+004.jpg that is it not the best picture ,but you get idea
hoye no crees que esa es cojines o algo asi. no se si estoy equivocado
He said hi to the doggo. So cute.
When it is good she has brown bark.
We have many of these in the Brazilian forests and are sweet and cold.Delicious!
In Perú also people have trees of Pacae in their front or backyards, my friends and I used to eat them when they were ripe from the neighbors trees back in the 80's whenever we were playing outside.
I am currently eating one while watching this
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing! I would love to grow it too!
OMG! IM SO MAD NOW! I was in Hawaii and picked all sorts of wild awesome fruit like avocados, papayas, bananas, mangoes, starfruit and cocao, BUT I SAW THIS TREE growing in someones yard and was going to knock on their door and ask them about it but I decided not to for some reason. ARGGGHH!!! Take me back in time, I want to try it! lol.
Although I was lucky that the Longan fruit happened to be ripe at the time, cause I know those go fast and have a very short window.
I just had to LIKE this video and if I could like this 100 times I would! I had a friend who went to South Africa and I asked her to send me some seeds but unfortunately she didn't run into any on her way. Thumbs up for vanilla ice-cream too ^ ^
they are delicious.....Guamas are called in Colombia my native country....when I was a child I used to play with the seeds and used them as earings
hahaha yes , and these fruits are everywhere, they are almost free.
We have these in Veracruz and omg they are so good!! Best fruit (or vegetable) I've ever had. I now live in the U.S. And I haven't had that in years! :(
I love this fruit in my country we call it cushin.
Omg it's kook to know that other people knows about this fruit. I'm from Guyana South America and I grow up eating this fruit. Ours only grow about 5-6 inches, when its fully ripped the outside of the pod gets a little yellow. I haven't had it in 10yrs. Enjoy
In Puerto Rico it was quite prevalent when I was a child, now it is almost non existant, it is so delicious, have not seen this fruit in so many years. It is a real shame that we are letting these foods become extinct.
Also we call it Guama (with an accent mark on the last letter a).
In mexico we call them paterna, its sweet and the texture feels nice in your mouth, the seeds we boil them with salt and eat them.
It looks very similar to tamarind. Just a different color.
I have had the ice cream bean once in my life. The inside is so soft and creamy like. Yum.
I'm obsessed with these. They are so good and the weirdest thing I've ever tasted! So jealous you can grow them
Hey, i noticed it's nearly 3 years now since this video so i'm hoping for an update on these plants :D
Hmmm
Wow, such a cool and interesting tropical fruit! Wish I could find some of these. Good luck with growing them and keep us updated with the growth :D
The flish... Ah, Kiwi vowels never fail to surprise. ;-)
I'm from Honduras and we have lots of those, They were part of my childhood too:')
I grew up eating this fruit in the Caribbean it's called padoux and it is deeeelicious. Your videos are great please keep posting.
As a child growing up in Trinidad and Tobago I ate a lot of these. They are known as PADOO...not too sure of the spelling. I did not even know they still existed. They are absolutely delicious!
I used to eat that as a kid in El Salvador. It's sweet and juicy indeed.
Karen Flores me too! I forgot about these, I remember eating them when I lived there
In El Salvador we call those. Cuje! For people asking if you can grow this in the US, yes you can! Iv seen trees here in Los Angeles, CA!
And paterna and. Guama is not the same as this fruit, paterna its a flat fruit!
...I am eternally grateful for her strict non-coddling caregiving. She treated everything and everyone the same...somewhat aloof, not affectionate, very sarcastic and strict. She was a wellspring of information on plants, animals, natural pharmacology. I now believe I was sent their to die but thrived under her care. Unfortunately I had to return to NYC but always thought I would return and we would live there forever. I wished she had been my real Mum instead of her daughter who never seemed
when i was a child i remember there were some trees that produced fruit like that. the grew next to the local creek. the fruit was delicious. we call it guamá.
the wikipedia article seems to be describing the very same thing too. however i dont remember the pods being quite so big.
can anyone else from puerto rico verify if that's the same fruit?
It is the same fruit except a different variation.
awarenessable
thanks.
i loved that fruit....
Wow I haven't had this fruit in ages. I am from the Dominican Rebulid we have those.
You can break those seeds apart because they are actually several seeds grown together. If you carefully pull them apart each one will grow into a new plant so each pod can give you up to 50 plants! I just posted a video of the fruit off of my tree that I planted from seed about 12 years ago, a lot shorter fruit but basically the same. It's a large dark green beautiful tree that virtually requires zero maintenance and can be trimmed back hard if necessary with no ill effects on the tree.
In Costa Rica wi call it Guava. And what they call guava here in the US, we call it guayaba
Roja Marta Guava ? first time I heard they call it Guava. Hi Roja from California.
Roja Marta Yeah!! We do!! I think it's spelled Guaba though. :p
I try to explain this fruit to people, and they're all confused. WHERE THE GUABAS AT? I haven't had one in years. They need to cultivate them in Florida! I miss this fruit so much D:
adriana aguilar You can buy seeds on eBay! :)
Same in Puerto Rico
Guaba I can understand, but guaVa is a totally different fruit that looks nothing like this.
in my country Trinidad its called "Padu"
Boredom Gaming yes very true
Yes i used to hunt and eat it alot
hello I'm from Guatemala and there we eat the seeds boiled in salted water some people put lemon after they removal water ..........good luck with your plants !!!!!
When I was younger than maybe five, I know I ate some of these when I was with my grandparents. I have been looking for them everywhere, I know I love the flavor I just don't remember it that well.
I grew up in bolivia. Let me tell you that this fruit is AMAZING !!!!!!
Can you do an update on your ice cream bean trees? What does the plant look like? Did it grow well for you?
Lol that's called Pacay! it's my favourite fruit ever omg it reminds me of when I used to live in Peru (':
I love to try this fruits 👌💕
Im in Florida, I just got a plant, yesterday. Joy!
Exciting, good luck with it :)
Omg! I found a seed of one of these things years ago when I was younger in my garden. I had no idea what it was though and threw it away. I wonder how it made its way into my garden, it's definitely not a common plant where I live.
Soy de panama me encanta esa fruta siempre auise tener una planta de "guaba "le decimos aca ,y por fin lo hise hace 1 semana y ya estan co.enzando a nacer :)
It looks like the pepeto if I'm not mistaken
very good fruit. in puerto rico its called guama
A fruit that tastes like ice cream. If the food industry just put a lot more resources into culturing different types of fruits and vegetables from around the world, it would be so easy for a lot of people to eat vegan.
+BearWindAppleyard Most people don't want to go vegan
I completely agree, it would be
+Rex Marcus (DeathMadeTangible) they have no dairy ice cream and you dont have to get so hostile bro
p.m.t.tv I know they have no-dairy ice cream. It's not ice cream though, it's just some goopedy goop with gum fillers/emulsifiers. Nothing beats whole-fat dairy ice cream in terms of taste.
Rex Marcus to each his own
that was fun! I would love to taste these and plant them all over the place! What a beautiful dog you have!
Just got some today looked up this video! Thanks for the tips
I had that fruit on my backyard, it is pritty hard to harvest, the tree was 12 meter tall and the fruits grow at the end of the branch but the hard part is that the branch are brittle, no matter how thick they appear to be. My tree had a fairly thick trunk (102cm circumference) and was still blown over by a summer breeze.
That fruit also grows in the southern part of Mexico, and the fruits are huge.....The name over there is Cajinicuil.....An Aztec Name.
I absolutely love this fruit, we call them guaba, I'm from Panama
I am from sri lanka 🇱🇰 . This fruit is very delicious . It grows in hill country. If u wont to eat delicious fresh fruit ,pls come to sri lanka.
I love this fruit I can't wait until my 2 trees get fruits.
Deliciosa esa fruta! tengo años de no comerla. En Guatemala le llamamos Paterna
...paradise lost. Thanks for reminding me.
In Trinidad and Tobago, Caribbean, it's called puadoo. pu ah doo. Flesh same texture as cocoa pods. Looks alike too.
reena best yeah we call the same thing in Grenada
That's what I thought. Related to cocoa?
I love this fruit en Ecuador ,the name is Guava the litle is growing in the valley of the heiglands,the large is named Guava machete because the size and shape lock,is like, I like the video.
yeah im from El Salvador and its a rare fruit yet we had a few trees in my neighbourhood and you brought back some good memories. Are you from New Zealand?? im in Australia I would you $100 for one of those pods the fruit its amoungst my favourite and by the way if you want to know the best way to eat the seeds, boil them in hot water with plenty of salt until they go relatively soft, then take them out and put them on a plate and put some lemon juice and if you like tabasco sauce also put some and they are nice...i hope to hear from you. regards, Ciro from adelaide in Oz.
palitos palos paternas
not the same fruit
Lol @ The Miracle Blade.
I still remember those commercials.
The fruit looks delicious.
I'm going to look for those seeds all over the Internet!!!
There is a bigger version of this fruit is call paternas we have those and the bigger version in El salvador central America. After eating the white part you boil the seeds until tender and eat them with some lime juice and salt so good
omg i love guavas , i miss it soo much , im the usa now and is like the best fruit in the world. i use to have a guava tree in ecuador :)
Adorable ghost cat! 😯😊
That was a neat looking fruit I will definitely search for it at all my local stores : )
I have got my Seedling Icecream bean growing now at around 3-4 year old from my uncles fruiting tree which started fruiting at the age of 6 I am hope for mine to fruit so since I have been giving it extra tlc. Grown in Sydney, Australia would grow much quicker in Queensland.
This video was awesome, I love learning about new things. Thank you!
Eu tenho uns 20-3 pés desta fruta plantada em minha propriedade.
é muito boa, esta variedade do video é ingá-banana
In Puerto Rico, this is the famous guama fruit....delicious!!!
I got some pods today. My first time to eat and it taste like vanilla ice cream. Be planting the seeds.
Awesome hope they grow well for you
It's called Padoo in the Caribbean island of Grenada... they grow by the Riverside
Yup, I'm from Trinidad and that's what we call it here too.
VP Images yep! I love the.
His vid on the Cherry Guavas got me curious and I found a vid about Fat Pork (cocoplums), but these were dark blue/purple.
Cocoa plum we call it star apple in grenada
Lol at fat pork!
In Guyana its called whitey hope thats the correct spelling. Its delicious the white part is like fuzz and melts in once eaten then the rest we chew. Im pulling on memory there its been a while but my memory is pretty spot on i believe.
IN MEXICO THEY CALL IT ( GUAMUCHIL ) AN IS NOT JUST TROPICAL FRUIT IS A REGULAR WEATHER FRUIT TOO, BECAUSE IN THE STATE OF MICHOACAN IN MEXICO WE USE TO HAVE A HUGE PLANT OF THAT KIND OF FRUIT AN IT IS VERY SWEET AN TASTY
AND BY THE WAY IN MICHOACAN WE CALL IT ( chinicuil )
That's nice to know. Wonder if there is any where in the US that has these beans. Would love to try some and since they are grown in warm weather and not just tropical I wonder how hard they would be to grow ?
+Lynn Reedy me too
A.B Mendez it's indigenous to the Southern part of the Americas. It was introduced by humans into Mexico, the Caribbean, etc. You are correct in saying it can survive outside of tropical rainforests.
Great video. These look interesting
It tastes nothing like ice cream. Regardless it's very yummy if you get a nice ripe one which usually will be a fat green bean. When it starts getting yellow, the flesh may begin to dry out and some seeds might be germinating too.
I wish I could show you how to open it without a knife because there's really no need for one.
The easiest way is to snap the pod in 2 and pull the side that connects the them together, and there you have the yum stuff.
nice video thanks
Wish I had the tree
Germinated in short amount of days as you mentioned, very easy to germinate also had it in the fridge for some time few weeks & germination was still fine. Unfortunately I still haven't taste the fruit as he took the poor beautiful tree down as it was getting to big for his small backyard :( not to worry plenty of space here for its offspring to stay. :)
It is a really good tree for making charcoal.
it looks delicious. I just wonder if it can survive in the winter? I live in Houston, TX. In the winter, the lowest temperature is about 25 C.
I am From Cochabamba Bolivia , many people have this tree in their houses. The trees grow very tall. It is called Pacay
Eu tewnho plantado: Ingá-feijão, ingá-banana, ingá-macaco, e comprei recentemente 02 mudas de ingá-cipó.
Hi KiwiGrower, I have dozens of fresh inga seeds here in Auckland. I could drop some at the zoo if you know anyone who wants them. Also have a tropical guava currently fuiting well in a north-facing position ( I've seen plants for sale at Avondale Market ). Plus a toronchi (sp ? ), similar to babaco. Great to enjoy home grown fruit midwinter !
If you're in the US the California Rare Fruit Growers Assoc. can probably help you to find seeds/plants.
I love this fruit too I had it in equator they called it guava it tasted like a tropical fruit drink but better
