Am I the only one who this reminds me of a mitochondria? (the power house of the sell)
Can't believe I put sell, I mean cell.
Yes my video paused when she said "you know what it looks like" I was thinking a cell. Lol
High school days man
Kendall Carter THE MASTER OF BUSINESS!!
Ooooh yeees
The way Emmy finds joy in just about everything is so refreshing
hedgehog prince That's what makes her such a beautiful woman, inside and out! And makes her videos addicting to watch! Her videos justs brightens up my day!
Happy New Year, everyone! Sending love and peace.
Happy New Year!
emmymadeinjapan Happy new year Emmy.
emmymadeinjapan Happy New Year!
emmymadeinjapan too you to
emmymadeinjapan Happy New Year dear Emmy, wish you all the best in 2017. 😘.
I was born in Zimbabwe and we ate these when visiting relatives in the village. FYI no one plants these 😂😂😂 animals ear them and when they go to the toilet the seeds come out and are planted and spread that way 😂😂😂 They're so good though. I miss them xx
Live, Love & Learn Naturally shona name is GAKA love love them thanks for that
me to I was born In Bulawayo
@@notmyworld44 Ear is eat. Just a typo.
@@Anakah55 Got it! ( :^)
@@Anakah55 At the right side of the comment line there are three grey dots in a vertical row. A comment
can be edited, typos corrected by using one of those grey dots. I replied to your comment. Sent it.
Then came back to edit. Easy to correct mistakes. Then hit the blue 'save' button. And voila! No typos.
If they're *just* ripe enough, they taste like a banana strawberry smoothie.
Rhett Having a Vietnam Flashback I love your profile picture and name
Rhett Having a Vietnam Flashback they taste like nasty cucumbers
to me it tasted like kiwi
To me they taste like broccoli
I got banana when I tried it, but not strawberry. I ate them right after getting home from the market. However, given the price I will not be buying them again.
My boyfriend was half asleep next to me when I started playing this video and the silly "fruity-fruity" melody in the beginning made him jump and exclaim: what the h***?! It gave us both a good laugh. Well needed too after a few really hard days. Thank you. :)
😂 You're most welcome.
It seems the melody tickles his Aspergers the right way. It makes him giggle every time he hears it. Makes me giggle too though :D
SiLi in Norway oof XD
If that's your boyfriend in your profile pic I'm happy because it makes this so much more wholesome
You should eat a persimmon. A lot of people have never seen them or eaten them. Just be sure to get a ripe one! Eating an unripened persimmon is a lot like putting a spoonful of alum in your mouth. Not at all pleasant. Ripe persimmons are delish though.
Happy new year! 😊🎉💥
karenamanda1958 or a cumquat
karenamanda1958 it would be cool if she did! I just wonder if she's eaten them before, since she lived in Japan for a time and I believe they're much more common there.
karenamanda1958 they feel starchy to me. I don't care to eat them as is, but they make a beautiful, sophisticated cookie. (As in, more of a flavor an adult can appreciate.)
karenamanda1958 persimmons are so common in California.......that is if you shop at the Asian market
karenamanda1958 omg they're soooo good
her voice is so calming.....
I suggest passionfruit. It's my absolute favorite fruit!
haha It's funny that you mentioned passion fruit, I actually bought one the same day I bought the kiwano, but it was a dud (I think it was past its prime) but I plan on trying it again.
Yasss
Just wondering, is passion fruit not common in the US?
fantasyvsreality299 passionfruit is probably grown in a couple very warm areas of the U.S. but it is sometimes hard to find in New England (or the Midwest where I live) and it's usually very expensive. I'm planning on visiting Brazil as soon as I can and one of the first things I'm going to do there is buy a pound of them and sit and eat the whole damn lot.
Spencer Kieft yes I love passion fruit I am Thai but I live in Florida so the only time I can eat passion fruit is when I go back to Thai
That fruit looks like an alien pod or egg lol =P
Harleigh19 Cost like it came from another planet too lol.😱
(They appear a lot in Star Trek series)
I could listen to Emmy speak foreverrrr haha
Kiwano fruit tastes just like the popular discontinued 80's/90's drink called Ecto Cooler. Which was my absolute favorite drink as a kid and I wish they would bring it back!
you should try the gfuel Faze 51 flavor, its based off of this fruit. it might be discontinued soon too though so dont wait too long.
I just tried one for the first time (and probably last time) today!! When I saw it in the store and noticed melon was in the name, I was so excited because melons are my favorite kinds of fruit! But then I cut it open, was so confused, and looked up how to eat it. I agree the seeds were quite annoying, the texture was interesting, and it wasn’t as flavorful as I thought it would be. It took me forever to eat the slightest bit of it, and I eventually gave up (even though I didn’t want to because it was so expensive, hahaha)! At least it was an experience, attempting to eat this alien fruit!!
You eat the seeds, like a cucumber.
i love her reaction when she cuts open the fruit. she's like a excited kid on christmas.
I'm not sure if you can get your hands on one, but you should try a black sapote sometime!
I've always wanted too.
lordtamar they as pretty good! I commented that as well! They almost have a slight peach taste almost!
with a bit of orange juice!!! yuuuuum
Lol I like the fruit song. Where did you find it haha.
You forgot to scrap the inside. After you eat the green gel part you can scrap the inside of it & eat some of the softer yellow parts. It tastes completely different than the green parts. That's one of the reasons I like it so much! It has 2 different parts to eat that taste different with a different textures. Almost like you're eating 2 different fruits!
It's also easy to grow from seed like a cucumber given a warm and dryish summer. It's an annual and a plant can crop quite a few of these pretty things on it, which are lovely as fruitbowl decoration even if they do taste rubbish.
Happy New Year Emmy!! 4 more hours for us Eastern Time people!
Matthew6500 happy new Year
3 now! Happy new year!
This is my favourite series on your channel, you have never failed in giving great content, for all videos that is. Another superb video Emmy
I love kiwano melons and I've never had an issue with seeds like that. Guess it just depends on the fruit. With a little bit of sugar it's like a natural little bowl of jello.
how do you eat that? I mean is there any interesting recipe of something to make it better ?
Lalalala! Happy New Year to you and yours Emmy. Thanks for making wonderful videos throughout the year! We all look forward to another year of your videos.
If you are ever vacationing in the tropics and have the opportunity to go to a fruit farm with a tasting session, do it! There’s a ton of fruit that you can’t get or taste completely different because it ripens and sours in a matter of hours. Try to get your hands on
-Fresh star fruit (nothing like you get in the store, i guess it spoils in less than 10 hours)
-Fresh dragon fruit (with a squeeze of lime. Acidity amplifies the flavor of many fruits)
-Purple Mangosteen (like marshmallows soaked in fruit juice)
-Orange Mangosteen (super sour, maybe skip)
-Soursop (seriously, the most complicated single flavor I have ever experienced. Needs to be Fresh cut, mine had just fallen off a tree not 20min before. You can find jams and preserves but it loses all its complexity. Bizarre, awesome and super hard to come by, should be on every foodie’s bucket list.)
I like the fruity fruits segments. I remember eating a lot of these before, and i like most of them. I love how cool the fruit looks.
Just wanted to see horned melon in action and was greeted by the single greatest intro to a video I have ever seen
Could you do another miracle fruit video, but instead of the usual stuff, you could taste odd things? Like bugs? Or exotic fruits & veg?
She's already done a bunch of bug eating videos.
alraizuli not after eating a miracle fruit
Sorry, gorilla glue, I missed the 'miracle fruit' reference. Why don't you do that video for us?
I've got a face made for radio, not RUclips 😁
I found this fruit when I was like 10 at my local Fred Meyer in the organic section...I've never been able to find another one since and I'm 20 now. I thought they were so fun! I remember thinking it tasted like a pineapple-banana hybrid.
Happy New Year, Emmy, and everyone reading this
The seeds remind me of pumpkin seeds, I actually prefer eating the seeds and only spit them out to grow the seeds. I have seven new kiwano plants growing beautifully. I can’t wait to harvest them.
We purchased 1 of these recently & I didn't realize you had a video about it otherwise I would have watched it. We ended up getting rid of the goop, as we called it by cooking it on the stove. Then we had the seeds only and baked them with salt which turned out yummy & ended up tasting like pumpkin seeds
Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us! Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us! And all of the hard work you do to create these videos!
I love how happy and enthusiastic you are about everything you do, it's great to see. I'm so happy I found your channel today :)
We peel them hole and eat them more like a cucumber by slicing and adding them to a fresh crisp homemade salad. Of add them to some salted water to preserve the cut sliced and eat them that way as a salad item along side potato salad pasta salad etc.
Probably the coolest fruit I have ever seen!
The intro to fruity fruits is so fun and catchy lol :3
Emmy, this "Fruity Fruity froooty fruuut" theme is hilarious and so perfect for the series.
I absolutely luv all your vids on RUclips. Keep up all that great work!
I'm curious to try the fruit off a monstera deliciosa plant. I heard it tastes like bananas and pineapple, but you have to wait until it's fully ripened or it can make you sick.
Emmy - I've been a subscriber for a couple of years and absolutely love your videos. I haven't seen any in well over a month prior to today but didn't think too much about it. I thought maybe you were taking a much deserved break for the holidays or something. This evening I went directly to your RUclips page just out of curiosity and I see that you HAVE been posting!! Yet there isn't a single one of your videos in my feeds. I double checked, and I am subscribed, and the little bell is selected!! I'm so disappointed that I've been missing out on your videos!! I don't understand why they haven't been in my feeds and it makes me wonder how many other people it happens to. On the subscriber end a well as the content creator end.
Now....it's time to binge watch your videos!!
I jumped on this when I saw the thumbnail because I've seen them in the store and never got the nerve to try. Unfortunately, the description kind of makes me want to pass on this one. it's a beautiful fruit but I don't care for a gelatinous feel on my tongue or fruits that are not sweet. Thanks again for taking one for the team! HAPPY NEW YEAR :)
I grew these on my back porch this past summer. I got about 20 fruit, which I think is pretty decent for a container grown plant. Also it grows like crazy, so have a frame prepared or you'll be trying to catch up to the 1 foot a day growth. the thing had.
Oh and wear gloves, the vines have spines on them.
I love that you try things for us! Saves us a lot of well (insert loads of words here....time, money, pain, icky-ness and at the same time the need to try things strange and wonderful things out for ourselves! Arigatou Gozaimasu! (yes I know you're not Japanese) :-)
omg Emmyyyy you give me so much joy! so calm and relaxint to watch ur vids
Came back to just say that thanos was gon eat that In endgame
XD
You're so peaceful to watch. It's so nice. love this channel!
I once made a type of smoothie with a kiwano. I remember it called to separate the seeds out (which took FOREVER), but once it was all ready, it was pretty tasty!
Doesn't seem WORTH all that trouble
It comes from Namibia, some parts of Botswana and South Africa. You slice it like you would a cucumber, remove the rind and use it just like a normal cucumber.
I hope everybody reading this comment has a wonderful new year!!!
From a small youtuber!!!
I bet if you put these through an old-fashioned hand cranked food mill you could separate the pulp from the seeds. (We use them for persimmons.) I don’t know if they still make food mills, but they would probably be a good way to prep some of these fruits, for use in ice cream, etc.
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! I hope this year is full of blessings!
Happy new yr Emmy it's midday on new yrs day here ... Great to see you so early in the new yr xoxo
Happy New Year!
hey Emmy I tried several as a child that I loved! my school teacher worked in Asia and the Caribbean before coming back to UK and she shared her knowledge of odd fruit. the ones I remeber are grenadillo, persimmon, cape gooseberry, Dragon fruit, mangosteen, rambutan, tamarillo. also my gran had a mulberry bush and I love mulberries but apparently most people don't know what they are or look like or taste like!
bro I saw this fruit like 12 years ago and have been searching for it since, now I’ve found this. Thank you, I am satisfied with life now
That thing looks like artwork on the inside. That's amazing.
Happy new year, Emmy!
Happy New Year, Kevin!
Neat looking fruity fruit. Nice description of that thing. I've never seen one before.
Yaaaayyy! An Emmy notification. Always supporting and sending love! Happy happy new year, may it be filled with smiles❤️
If you ever find one, you should try a monstera fruit. They look like green ears of corn. A few years ago, they were easy to find at my local grocery store, but recently I haven't really found them. They are a fun fruit that takes time to mature but it's really tasty once it's ripened.
Am an african from namibia and we also grow that in our field during rain season. We peel off the yellow skin and eat everything inside.
My daughter went to a friend's garden party and was given random sprouted seeds and after a month this vine completely took over, suffocating the other plants and then out of nowhere these bright orange spiky balls popped up, had no idea what they were until now haha
Thank you. I’ve always been curious about those and yeah, they’re about 4 dollars each where I am in Massachusetts. I didn’t want to spend that much for a tiny melon. Thank you for tasting it for me 😊 I might try them
Happy new year! I love your videos so much! ❤️
I didn't like this fruit at all when I came across it a few years back. I'm not a huge cucumber fan and you are right when you say it has a cucumber smell and taste to it.
*HAPPY NEW YEAR EMMY AND TO ALL YOUR WONDERFUL FANS!!*
Wow never seen a horned melon before, looks cool though! And Happy New Year Everyone!
OMG! My pépère brought this for me to try when I was a kid and I actually really liked it but never knew what it was called so I could never find it!
Oh I love it! I want to find one near me and paint it, that inside color and texture is gorgeous.
HAPPY NEW YR EMMY!🎉🎈🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎉
Happy New Year, Emmy! Have you considered trying Starfruit or Rambutan?
It's Thanos' fruit! Omg who's watching this on 2019?
MEEEE!!! I KNOW RIGHT
Of course. Thanos was growing kiwanos...
Happy New Year Emmy and Fam!! Looks like all prickly fruits are yummy! 🙃
Happy New Year, Emmy!!
lalalala!! Happy New Years,Emmy!
Hello from Australia! - Happy New Year Emmy! Such an amazing vibrant, pigmented fruit. I'll have to keep my eye lids peeled back & see if I can find this type of fruit at my local fruit market. :)
My BF loves these! Supposedly they're good for your brain ( aka super food ) and he eats them quite often. We cut them in half horizontally so that they resemble little bowls. My kids get a kick out of em, we call it dragon snot! Even the 11 month old likes em!
I had a horned melon earlier this year. Very strange taste, kind of like a cross between an apple and cucumber. I just swallowed the seeds along with the little pods. Not my cup of tea, I like the dragon fruit better but those are double the price at almost 10 bucks each. You should try one of the little round purple passion fruits next. Very small and dark purple and they smell incredible on the inside, almost like candy meets popurri but with the weirdest taste compared to the smell.
Awesome video, ive been eyeing this fruit at safeway! so helpful thx, happy new year!
thank you for your consistent and delightful videos that you post. your videos are really helping me smile through my mother's recent death. keep doing what your doing and helping us smile
XD that intro allways make me laugh to much xD nice video
Hi Emmy :) happy new year! a small correction. You certainly don't find these frequently in New Zealand, were you thinking of the kiwi fruit?
I like how she describes what she eats !
HI Emmy, have you ever tried cooking/frying the kiwano in oil for example to make salsa/sauce (e.g. onion, tomato, green pepper etc) , what you do is substitute the tomato with kiwano. I've searched youtube but haven't seen anyone try this, but its unique and tastes great. The skin is edible can be chopped up just like a tomato and cooked in the salsa dish as well. As the dish cooks and reduces the skin softens/melts, becomes very delicate and adds to the flavour of the sauce. The problem is of course the seeds, these are too numerous and need to be sieved out as much as possible, leaving the pulp, skin and juice for the sauce.Do you think you could post a video on this way of eating kiwano and what you think of it since no one has. Thanks.
We found one of these in the produce section and my son was convinced it was a dragon egg so we bought one to try. Had no idea how to cut it, so thanks for the demo. I think he's going to be jazzed about the bright green inside
This is so cool!! I’ve always wondered what that looks like inside!! And omg yes as soon as you scooped it out I was like oh that looks like aloe!!! And there’s this aloe drink I get that has “mangosteen” in it! Soooo delicious, but I have been curious about the mangosteen!!! Because it’s nothing like mango and it’s a lot like aloe 😂 I would love if you could make a video about a mangosteen!!! And where you found it! :D
When I used to do in-store promotions we had to demo this fruit once. To me they have an astringency in the mouth feel but I had difficulty trying to define it any other way. Their flavour is nowhere near as intense as, say, a passionfruit, but it is such a lovely fruit. I've used them for garnish when I serve Thai chicken skewers. Another great video, too! Wish I was a mutant so I could give you four thumbs up!
It's like dragon fruit...I bought it to try with my kids. It was beautiful hot pink with white insides and black seeds. We guessed what it might taste like and then scooped a big bite each. Tasteless, watery, nothing, dishwater flavored almost. My little girl spit it out and said it reminded her of frog spawn 😂😂 I thought it would taste like kiwi. So I decided there's a reason the popular fruits are popular and the exotic ones aren't
Thanks for showing us this interesting fruit, Emmy!
The theme in the intro and outro reminds me of a Disney short before the movie started.
Happy New Year Emmy to you and your family
You should taste test some fruits from landscape plants. Natal plum, common myrtle, Australian bush cherry, fuchsia, arbutus, purple-leaf plum all have edible fruits.
Happy New Year Emmy!!🎈🎋🎊🎊💫🌟✨😍😃😀☺✨🌟💫🎉🎊🎋🎈
Happy New Year's Miss Emmy! Me and my fiance are huge fans!
Happy New Year!
Try jak fruit! I know from experience it's really hard to cut and get the fruit out but it tastes like nothing on this earth! You should definitely do it! If you can't get a jak maybe a smaller durian?
The Thanos fruit 😂😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍
Whaaat! I tried a Kiwano the other day and loved it. I would not describe it as just 'meh' it was just a refreshing taste. I just ate the seeds and they didnt bother me.
The slip and slide feeling. So refreshing.
I always love the look on your face with that first bite 😁
Where I'm from kiwano is called kivakurkku, which translates to nice cucumber!
I've never had one but if you've seen Charmed then you'd see Kiwano make an appearance when Piper orders it to her club and contracts a disease from a sandfly that traveled along with it!
happy new year all the way from New Zealand love you Emmy :D
Have you ever eaten a Babaco ? I saw it once but never tried it.
(The babaco fruit is seedless and the smooth skin can be eaten, and is said to have
tastes of strawberry, papaya, kiwi and pineapple. The fruit is
pentagonal in shape, therefore giving it the scientific name of Carica
pentagona.)
i got scared by the fruity fruit song and the beginning i did not expect xD yay pretty fruits
I used to eat them when I was a kid but we used to peel them and just eat them the same way you'd eat an apple 🍎 but we used to sprinkle a little salt on them too
