These “whole fruit” reviews are my favorites of all your videos! Very interesting and informative.
I'm so glad!
This is the best "Oh no" I've ever heard
I doubted you. How wrong I was.
It reminds me of the Michael Scott meme that's like: * softly * "Dont...."
Read comments first, waited for Oh No for whole video. Instantly knew what you meant when it came
LoL How could an ohno be so subtle and epic at the same time?
Bruce from family guy still reigns supreme IMO.
“Tastes like a bitter old stick”
How dare you talk about my grandpa like that
*C O N S U M E T H E G R A N D P A*
i’ve got a grandpa mangosteen as well
he’s doing well
The look on your face when you drank the purple tea before you added the sugar had me dying. You are a trooper for trying this.
What we're your dying, and what colours?
@@TheKopakah not funny, didn't laugh
@@ceesan5605 Well he can throw it in the bin then and get no nutrients whatsoever because he did not like it raw in the video!
I had to laugh at the face you made when drinking the purple tea. I couldn't help it. I tried not to because hurts to laugh with 2 broken ribs.
@@cat3crazy got me in the first half not gonna lie
YES purple mangosteen is really delicious!
Fun facts:
1. You could know how much wedges indide the fruit without opening it. Just look at the bottom of the fruit and you'll see a flower like pattern there. The "petals" shows how many wedges inside the fruit. Take a look at 7:53
2. Open the mangosteen with bare hands by putting the fruit in between the bottom palm of your hands and squeeze/crush it. It's a little bit messy but will get the job done
3. The rind of this fruit is insanely famous in Indonesia as a medicine and become a meme here because of the overly done advertising 😂
The Pattern looks like *
I’m an American living in Asia. People use the rind for tea and “health” but the world of academia is replete with studies showing the toxicity and liver damage caused by long term use.
I've lived here all my life and have never heard of mangosteen tea,,,
Aniquin different people with different experiences and different values. There are a lot of personal testimonies of cures from toxic things. Sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease, but I wouldn’t judge someone harshly for a differing opinion.
@@dazaussieguy1954 What the actual, amphetamine rambling fuck are you talking about?
@aussie11 dude are you really aussie or are you from the Philippines, because I also live there and goddamn... I suggest using punctuations. I could barely make out what you were trying to convey, like wtf are you on dude.
@@alligatormonday6365 😆
How many of us were making the same face and shaking our heads "no" with you on the purple mangosteen tea...?
@8:04 best part of the whole video.
By the amount of sugar he added to make it taste tolerable he may as well just drink a soda and get a fruit with the vitamins he is looking for.
I literally said "oh no" the exact same time he did lmao
aussie11 sorry mate “natural remedies” are a load of BS
@@Googahgee A majority, but not all.
Like, for ear infections if you let warm oil sit in the air for like 15-20 mins then use a cotton ball to soak it up, it generally clears the infection just with that and you'll be fine by the end of the day.
My mom did that shit all the time for me when i was little and it always worked.
Lots of "natural remedies" or just straight BS, especially in asian areas, but not everything is useless :)
These things are amazing. I first tried them when I was deployed in the middle east. It's the closest to chewing lemonade I've ever found
I'd imagine the whole rind of the mangosteen would be better used to make a textile dye.
indeed!
No...it is better for your body.
Yeah, right now im in vietnam, and opening a mangosteen with my hands leaves some purple juice on them.
i always eat the seeds with the fruit no matter how big they are. They don't have much favor but just add a little crunch! I actually think they make mangosteens even better. Anyway love how passionate you are about these fruits, I love them so much they were one of the main reason I decided to move to Indonesia!
I wish our dutch greenhouses would grow this. These things are so expensive here, where as in Thailand you can just ask a random farmer and he will give you one for free.
Same bro
Yeah I think it's because it has to travel so far, so that's a lot of fuel and wage(s). And unlike many other fruits it won't keep well, so you probably cant' truck over huge loads of it because there's not enough demand.
I live in Sri Lanka and it is so common here but we can find them only in one season
@@MsHojat I think that demand and logistics is probably a problem with a lot of fruits. Frankly we just seems rather unaware of a lot of tasty and interesting fruits outside of staples like apples, citrus, banana etc. and even then when it comes to different cultivars of citrus or banana..
I reckon we need more people like Jared to bring more awareness and interest in these fruits that have little demand and awareness outside of the local areas they grow.
I've tried mangosteen three times. All of them were rock hard and had to be smashed open, and most of them were rotten on the inside. The ones that were not had no flavour to them at all. That's what it's like eating exotic fruits in Sweden 😆
I really hope i could taste a good specimen one of these days, because everyone seems to love them.
I tried mine in spain(a market near a mall on the outskirts of barcelona)... Most of them tasted fine. Sweet, but bland. Not really a specific taste.. like weak perfume...
Always stay away from mangosteens that are hard or have a brown stem. I think your best bet would obviously be to go to somewhere warmer preferably in Southeast Asia where they are very abundant and cheap. I personally believe they are well worth the expense of a plane ticket.
@@jaquezimoto7998 I will definitely do that some day (when the travel ban is lifted).
The fruit market in Sweden is very boring. Just the standard stuff. Understandable, but sad.
I have realized after watching Jareds videos that Asia is the place to be for fruit. 🙂
Luckily, we have really nice berries in sweden, so at least that's good.
It is actually how you tell a mangosteen has gone bad. If the skin is rock hard then dont even bother, it's not worth it.
Only buy it if it’s soft. Squeeze it a bit, if it’s hard don’t buy it. It’s been sitting there a while.
I've had a hard time finding these. Persimmons grow wild here, teasing me with their slight similarities. Mocking me.
I like persimmons...
I'll trade you 1 Durian for 20 persimmons 👀
Well, we got apples. But what i learned is awesome is that black currants are very common here while being kinda rare in the rest of the world
I am jelly. I can find mangosteen, they grow wild here, but i can't find persimmons. I've had one in my whole life
Your stomach must have magical properties after all the risky bites you take
the best part is vostok rejecting your gift 😻 classic cat.
10:27 "oh no. that is not very good." gets me every time
Short version: *"The best part of a mangosteen, is the fruit"* 14:00
im not sure why but that random little sneeze had me dying.
I've literally been binge-watching your videos even though I've been subbed for years. Your videos honestly just make the day better because your passion really shows and you are really articulate and entertaining.
So thank you so much!
Never seen someone’s jaw drop after drinking tea. This man does everything for us
Hey, I'm usually a silent watcher, but I just have to say that I love your content so much, I think you deserve so many more followers - you’re inspiring and fantastic!
I really appreciate every episode I've seen and this is no exception. Also absolutely hilarious. Great work!
I’m going to add „some“ sugar. 😂 perfect. It must have been 40gr.
Love your videos. Thank you!
wasn't enough...
@@WeirdExplorer Better to skip the tea and jump straight to jam? Just sugar and lemon 😄 Not sure I've ever seen Mangosteen. Little out of the way in South Africa
Lol😂😂😂
I laughed too! Btw W.E., I love your sugar tin, reminds me of my world travelling grandparents, they are my inspiration to try all things at least once
I live on Maui, 30 years ago planted 4 trees. 5 years ago they started to product, this past year my farm finally earned $4ooo. I tell everyone, buy the fruit, for the fruit.
I wish I can come across more mangosteens. I'm very interested in wanting to germinate some seeds.
I really like this series! Makes a good watch for these boring days
Mangosteen tastes like 'ice' flavored soda's. Like the bright blue ones that look like windshield fluid that aren't really popular anywhere.
I've tasted those "ice cream sodas" here in Malaysia...I recall they're more used as a mocktail base to blend with other flavours like rose syrup.
10:20 that reaction had me laughing for a solid minute
I hate watching people eat, and I hate watching you eat too, but I hate watching you eat a lot less than other people, cause you do a great job describing what you're experiencing.
I regularly have Mangosteen tea (my wife makes for me). Made from whole dried Mangosteens, she uses 1/4 of a fruit, put into a teapot, pour over boiling water, let it steep for a couple of minutes and drink. You can re-do 3 or 4 times, though it will obviously get weaker and weaker. The tea is a dark reddish / brown, a little sweet and slightly sharp / acidic. It is supposed to be full of antioxidants and very good for you. I enjoy it right form the very first time I tried it.
I managed to find a few of these at a store in arizona. I hope they become more popular they're great
Fun fact, if you flip it upside-down, the tiny bumps tell how many wedges are inside a mangosteen.
I like that..will check it out
Interesting
I was about to share this to him, it was a fun trick that we played as a kids - guessing game how many pieces inside before you open it =)
kokum tea should be drunk chilled with sugar , doesn't make it a great beverage but the fruity notes go better when chilled.
Love this series man, shows how wasteful humans can be but also how much we can make use for in famine or hardship! Truly awesome series looking forward to some more :D
Glad you enjoy it!
I love it so much! I love many tropical fruits but this is my Absolute favorite! Greets From Italy
In India we boil the rind and put coconut milk coriander leaves. Comes out tasty. My favourite to eat with rice. Coconut milk sweetened the cocum. Yum
Love mangosteen and you're right they're really difficult to describe but they are so so good 🧡 The best expressions I've ever seen on one of your videos 😲🤮 thanks for taking way more than one for the team this time 👏👏👏👏 LEGEND
Sounds like the mangosteen would make a great liqueur.
Very informational and funny! Thank you so much for your content. New subscriber!!!!!111!!!
I bought an egg fruit tree and a peanut butter bush because of your channel. Garcinia is next on my list!
I was eating my very first egg fruit as I was watching this.
You even made the teas!! You're amazing! And kept me laughing the whole time
I'm so glad!
By far the mangosteen is my favourite fruit.
Me too man
What do they taste like? Someone here in the comments said they're overhyped in their opinion and they were severely disappointed whereas most are saying they're delectable.
Lettuce Do Lunch it is its own thing I can’t describe it unfortunately.
@@let_uslunch8884
It tastes like a combination of loquat and mango. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart and the flavor is very intense. The texture is like a mango with extremely fine fibers. It melts in your mouth.
Even the host of this channel was having a time of it finding discriptors if memory serves me correctly. I must say @Juan Waffles you have provided a rather detailed description here, much appreciated. Thank you both for your sincerity.
Every-time you eat something I cannot tell if you hate it or like it your expressions look like “Hide the pain Harold” which makes this channel 20 times better
One of the best channels on youtube. No BS. Truly unique
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you Weird Explorer!
I really like these reviews of trying all parts of the fruit! I used to save seeds for arts and crafts.
I mixed the boiled rind juice with lemon and same portion of coconut juice, taste good
Jared your channel is amazing keep up the good work bud!
Thanks! Will do!
This was awesome! Thanks
If the seeds taste like almond, there's probably a little bit of cyanide in them, but not enough to hurt you.
Depends on if it's sweet or bitter almond. Sweet almonds don't have cyanide in them
5:51
The “bitter old stick” was the cyanide flavor.
boiling probably removed/destroyed some of it.
LOL you're so funny "It tastes like a bitter, old stick" 😂
The delivery was so hilarious
One of the best videos ever!
Are you supposed to be this funny without even trying 😂. I love it ❤. You are just an organic ball of laughs and thank you for the education but I was dying laughing .😂you are awesome😂❤
Very nice information
We have many wild Garcinia oblongifolia in Hong Kong, they taste like mangosteen with a little bit more sour taste. I would sometimes pick one or two to quench my thrist during hiking. They are also nicknamed as "yellow-teeth fruit" in Cantonese because they make your teeth yellow if you bite through their soft rind. (They have yellow colored latex in their rind like many of their relatives)
I haven't had that one!
The best fruit test video💕💕💕
Your funny and I like your videos. And your spot on, first time bought a mangosteen at a Asian store very little inside some bwn spots and I was putting what I could salvage in a smoothie. Yes I’ll chk Miami fruit I want to use it for it’s properties. Now I’m interested in fruit that helps weight loss. So how to use the Cambodian rhind ?
tried last year, mangosteen for the first time , yes the flavor is hard to describe, the texture is soft light light a plum somewhat , it is my favorite fruit as of now
Thank you for the in depth review. I just ate my first mangosteen and was happy to come across your video for more information.
Glad it was helpful!
I actually really like the concept of this video! I did the same thing with (seedless) grapefruits and made like grapefruit rind cutlets. Not gonna say they were tasty, but.... it was a good experience I guess haha
That's a great idea!
You are sooo animated and expressive. I love this video
10:54 “Diabetes wants to: know your location”
I love it👍
Not sure if I've commented prior but I LOVE Mangosteens!
You got one of my dream jobs, my love! I'm going to "Fruit & Spice Park" outside of Miami for the Orchid Festival and Mangosteen is on the menu! So f'n excited!!! Thanks for the info, quite entertaining AND Uber informative.
I'm sure you might already know but "Fruit & Spice Park" is a holy grail for rare fruit lovers and nearby is "ROBERT IS HERE!" a rare fruit market hat is second to none! A must go if you're ever in the Southern Florida/Miami area
Both great places, Fairchilds as well :)
your face was so precious upon the first sip of the purple skin tea. classic
Mangosteen is expensive but I buy them even if I'm poor cause I'm really craving for the taste it's very delicious you cannot forget about it
Did you order the small box mangosteen or large? About how many came in the box? Thank you.
You r right, I love it 😀😀😀😀😀
Watched some of your contortions and street performances, and I thought you were awesome! I especially enjoyed the bit with the tennis and racquetball rackets.
You can also eat jackfruit seeds by boiling. It taste like nuts.
Like potato nuts :)
I only clicked because I missing mangosteen.😍😍😍😍 You always make me laugh when eat something that tastes horrible.
@8:04 best part of the whole video.
Thank you!!
I've always eaten the seeds and i buy kilos at a time because in Perth Australia they're only available for a few weeks a year which sucks cause the good ones are so good. But are $30+ a kilo super expensive ridiculous considering like avocado a tree producers a ridiculous amount of fruit
Fun fact about acidity and purple: You can dilute, for example, red cabbage juice and it can be used as a rudimentary pH tester. NileRed does a quick demonstration of this. The mangosteen shell infusion may have anthocyanins in it, like the cabbage? If that's the case it makes sense.
I'm from vietnam and this kind of fruit is everywhere this season in summer :)
Really laughing my heart out watching you eating the rind 😆
I just found them four days ago and tried them for the first time😃
It was such a happy, very very unexpected coincidence!
I was on my way back to the hotel and passing this oriental fruit & vegetable store. I stopped to see if they have yellow dragon fruit (so refreshing if ripe and in high quality!) or something new I would like to try and couldn't believe my eyes - real Mangosteens! In Germany...very uncommon.
It made my day!
Since then I am having a hard time trying to describe what it tastes like. I completely forgot about the comparisons people online made when eating it.
To me it tasted incredibly juicy, its sweetness reminded me of berries, it had some sort of creamy dessert flavor to it and it was soft, almost tender to eat. Absolutely delicious! My absolute favorite!
I can't wait to expand my list of favorite fruits further more.
Guys like you are why we have a whole store filled with food. Thank you for trying these ingredients out . Your face is priceless lol.
This is one of my favorite fruits too!!
Haha! Definitely next level🍍
lol the cat's "excuse me wtf is this" reaction to the top was priceless
Thanks. i live in Cambodia and was checking to see if it is safe to juice the fruit with the seed and it looks like a few seeds going through my juicer wont hurt me.
Bless you for the sneeze btw
Tried one. Found it mind bogglingly sweet.
So it turns out the kids at the lemonade stand on my block have been selling mangosteen tea this whole time.
Mangosteens where I live taste like very sweet, unflavored cotton candy with that slight grape aroma as you swallow.
So the key to drinking it as a tea: make a hot lemonade and add as little as the water as you can. Got it!
I've watched several vids and several unboxings of Miami Fruit, which led to perusing their website on many occasions... today I finally placed an order. Tfs very in-depth descriptions of each fruit you taste and for MiamiFruit.com.
If the lemon juice made it turn pink the purple chemical in the rind might be a PH indicator like the one you find in purple cabbages and purple sweet potatoes!
Lemon juice can also turn some black teas reddish! It's neat. Very probably due to the acidity.
Peel of the related Achachairu makes a pretty decent iced tea IMO. I'd be prepared to try the same with purple mangosteen, if I can get my hands on some.
Except the bottled juice that I had before, I tried this fruit for the first time in my life, therefore I needed to know how to peel and what to eat. Thank you for this video - very useful!
Omg your cat at the end! 😆 I thought she was gonna flip you the bird for throwing produce garbage at her 🤣
just saw these at the grocery store, i rarely get to see interesting fruits here in nova scotia so i impulsively bought a pack of three
One of my favorite fruit
Tried those in Bali organic off the tree very yum
Mangosteen is sooo good! I live in Brazil where we could easily cultivate it but it's not a popular fruit here unfortunately, so they are still really hard to find
Dried and powdered mangosteen (whole fruit or just the skin/rind) is excellent for histamine reactions. You can mix it in juice or water but it really needs to be taken with food at the same time to prevent tummy cramps and diarrhea. A tiny amount - like 1/8 teaspoon can stop the itching from things like bug bites also immediately. Definitely discuss with you doctor before using. I buy the Terrasoul brand from Amazon...

The Queen of fruits and a most elegant tree.
Mangosteen is one of the best fruits in my opinion, I’ve only had it twice but it’s very good.
In March the mangosteens were in season here in South America, so good!
