Have you eaten any of these fruits? What other foods should I try? Leave a comment and let me know! :^)
i have eaten two of those in their natural form and two more in dried form and all of the more exotic ones i have only seen on grocery store shelves lol :)
one of my favorite foods that has an unusual texture is tapioca pudding. i have absolutely no idea whether it's something you'd enjoy or hate
Oh, my god, I had tapioca when I was a kid and I HATED it! I almost forgot that it existed until you mentioned it just now!
Morgan Gale oh haha sorry
I think dried tomatoes are pretty good
I'm 18 yrs old, i don't eat any vegetables ,meat or any fruit {except banana}.
it all started when i was 2 yrs old and i got ulcers so my mom did not to give me any spicy food, after that i stopped eating fruits vegetable , meats and fruit.
my habits had gotten worse ever since. my mom, dad, relatives, freinds all have tried to help me and gave me lectures about it.
it's not like i dont wanna try new foods now but it just whenever i try to eat i feel like i'm gonna throw up and i get sick and nervous and so on.
In my country this not that common than it is other countries ,i live in india
i JUST hope someday i could eat and be brave enough like you guys to try to
that spiky yellow thing was legitimately the scariest thing i have ever seen in my entire life and you are a goddamn champ for tasting it tbh
It was the worst!!! 0/10 stars
i have arfid and tbh this vid gives me cold chills just thinking about doing this, but i genuinely appreciate seeing someone who deals with the same thing do this. it's kinda inspiring bc id freeze and gag
You’re friend is so sweet and patient and nurturing towards your ARFID it’s really nice to see 😊
Hey Morgan!
I'm so happy that I've found your channel because I have ARFID too and it's extremely difficult to find some reliable information and help here in Brazil (even more for me because I'm 20 and doctors think this is a childhood disorder). So, luckily I can understand english and you're helping me a lot!
Thanks for your help and please keep making this videos!!
Vinícius Gil If you ever have the time, I think I have my captions open to editing, so you can add captions in other languages that you speak! I'm only fluent in English so I can only caption in English, but I'd love my videos to be more accessible. 💛 I'm glad I could help!
@Vinícius Gil Primeiro brasileiro que eu encontro que também tem isso, kkk
I’m 20, and I have ARFID. Never met anyone else with this disorder but it’s kinda nice to finally feel understood. I could literally feel your anxiety as you ate those fruits 😂❤️
I'm also 20 and have ARFID. I never knew this was an actual disorder I was always told I was just being picky and dramatic. It feels great to know it's not just me.
tracy evans ❤️
Chiming in to say the exact same thing! 20 year old who almost certainly has ARFID. You're not alone 💙
I'm 29 and I have ARFID. The only fruit I'm able to eat (and I love to) are bananas. The other fruits I just can take them as a juice.
Thank you very much for sharing these experiences! I think you're doing something very important for many people.
Woah same,I love bananas and I can eat a bit of mango but I cant eat other fruits/veggies without it being made into a smoothie (has to be a bit more sweet)
Alberto Jabalcuz guys if you like peanut butter and banana I mixed it with spinach and make a smoothie. Basically the other two ingredients mask the spinach flavor and texture. Hope you try it someday and if you like it let me know!!!
Same with the bananas and slowly this past 2 years have started eating apples - can never finish one but can take a couple of bites.
I just recently got diagnosed, and it's crazy to watch someone just like me when I am surrounded by people who eat normally. Thank you for making this video :)
Thank you for making videos like this because as a 14 year old who struggles with this and just started admitting it was legitimately a thing and not just a doctor trying to throw another label on me, this has made me feel less alone, and less like an abnormal human.
The way you chew on the apple is so familiar for me - that in between stage where you can keep it in your mouth but dont really want to truly feel its texture etc. Good luck on your journey and well done for the courage!!
im so proud of you morgan!! its so great to see how much you've grown over the years :'))
Thanks for stickin around :'^)
Round of applause for supportive friends
Wow, I'm so pleased to have found these videos. What an inspiration. I am 31 and just diagnosed with ARFID. I've never seen someone else behave exactly how I do with food. I feel the anxiety just watching this. But you're inspiring me to try things and work through that panic in my mind. I too have issue with texture and taste, sometimes smell. I can't even manage fruit smoothies. But I'm getting help! thank you for posting these!
I have ARFID as well and oh my God I would never be able to try that many new foods at once. One time my boyfriend tried to get me to try an apple and the most I could do was lick it after staring at it, whilst having a breakdown for an hour :)))
Hey Morgan,
Be proud of yourself. I'm 37 years old and couldn't even make it to taste one of these fruits. I really hope, that I can get over it someday!

Mango ,Ginger & garlic are the things that i hate most
This was both really difficult and really amazing to watch! I have arfid in a very similar way to you in that I don't deal well with lots of textures and some tastes. You did a really great job and I hope you can get through this just as I hope I can too :)
I suffer from ARFID, I just want to be a normal kid that can eat cheese, burgers, pizza, etc. I’m subscribing to you because I don’t know anyone else with ARFID and I think this video is inspiring. 😅
Was so sweet Molly getting you a bite with no seeds!
I honestly have no idea how they did it because there were SO MANY SEEDS
I also have ARFID and I’ve had it for years I can’t even remember when it started. I only have a small amount of foods that I like and will actually eat. And out of those foods that your trying I eat Apples sometimes. And I’m finally getting help for it and trying my best to eat better! :)
Congrats on trying all those fruits! Just confronting them is a huge step!!
I've got arfid and I tried a tomato yesterday! it was sooo weird
Thank you for posting this video Morgan! I work with kids/teens who have ARFID, and this video is a great representation of how we start our therapy sessions with tasting new foods!! You chose a great variety!!! I will definitely have them watch your video!
You're so lucky having found friends who you feel comfortable letting them know about your eating disorder and being able to do something like this with them. It was interesting to see someone go through the same emotions I would have in a similar situation lol Thanks for having made this, it really put a smile on my face. Wish you nothing but the best!
You did so good! I get those physical symptons too. I find it goes better if I force my body to relax and the just dive right in.
And thank you for making these videos! It feels so awesome to know I'm not alone!!!
Hey, all my life I've been told I was just a picky eater and until a year ago I came across your videos and realized that I also have ARFID. I was diagnosed and have been getting help but the journey is hard and I haven't been able to add anything into my diet yet. I was hoping you could possibly tell me how you have been or if you have been getting help and if you are getting anywhere with it and opening up to new foods or have been able to eat things now without being uncomfortable or afraid to have it. It would mean a lot to me as Im at this point losing hope that I'll ever get anywhere with my ED. I'm also very proud of you for trying those fruits in the video.
just a tip nectarine tastes ( in my opinion) better without the peal. Also, make sure they're ripe because otherwise, it can taste a bit sour. much lova and support, good luck on your healing journey
Yay Morgan!! You killed it queen lol 😎
I just watched your video about having ARFID and I I can relate to your pain. I like about 4 fruits and like 10 ish veggies , some of em are stuff normal people dislike.
Thank you so much for this content you are so brave and seeing this really helped me
Wow you did amazingly, when i tried this i could only do one a day and i completely shut down. Went silent and couldn't comminicate how i felt
That happens to me a lot too ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video it really validates my experiences with arfid and trying new food in general ❤️
i know this is an old video, but i have a similar (undiagnosed) extreme aversion to fruit that a few people i know have pinned to ARFID. even just the existence of this video means a lot to me, since ive always felt alone and ostricized in my struggles with it. thanks :)
First, brave!
Second, that's some pleasantly chill end card music.
Third, I have been to this grocery store and seen this fruit section and I am happy to know that people I know have tried these bizarre fruits.
Literally having a panic attack watching this video. But I wish I was as brave as you omg
I’m going to say, good for you for trying! Like I do to my kids when they try anything. Very brave.
Good job going for it! I have a hard time with fruits because they have to be really firm, which usually means... not quite ripe lol. So then the flavor is not amazing. Store bought raspberries reeeeally weirded me out at first, but now they’re aight. Wild ones are so much better! Much more firm, not “hairy” that I remember, and way more flavor.
Morgan I have ARFID too and I learned that from your videos. Please keep making them ❤
This is my second attempt watching this vid because it really triggers something that happened with a therapist. And it honestly is scary for me to watch someone else try new things.
Hey wish me luck, tomorrow is my pediatrician appointment to talk about the possibility of having arfid. This video makes more confident that I do, me and my now ex friend used to have an inside joke where I freaked out to try a peach and I used to get made fun of for that but that reaction I see you having with Molly is EXACTLY how I reacted only with a hell of a lot more nervous laughter since I didn't even know about this disorder yet and was well aware of the weird looks I get when I react so strongly. I'm really really hoping I'm right about this and I'll finally have a name to put onto this thing that's been around my whole life. Your videos really helped me figure it out so thank you, there's not a lot out there on arfid and I really appreciate it.
Oh an today I just tried quiches (technically I've had it before but my mom made it to see if I'd like it and I'm feeling pretty proud of that right now despite feeling really sick from not really eating much lately, I feel like I'm really on the road to improving and that makes me really happy because wOW is this exhausting)
Good luck!!
This is really interesting for me! I've never been diagnosed but I am positive that I have ARFID. Food has always felt like a struggle for me between safe foods and not safe foods. More than anything texture is what throws me off. And vegetables are the one food type I struggle severely with. I love fruit and can try any of them easily because fruit flavours but more so textures are so comfortable for me. While vegetables not only rarely taste nice the texture makes me severely uncomfortable. I've definitely got past the fear level of it and now it's more a discomfort that would mean I can't enjoy a meal that is only vegetables. It would rather become a test in which I'm under lots of pressure and stress. I think I had a lot of fear because when I was younger I was forced to eat stuff and not allowed to leave until I did. The frustrating thing was my parents often thought I was just a picky child but I've always adored food and I wish I could eat any and every food. I can watch cooking shows for hours. I can make stuff. But when it comes to eating it I struggle so much. It's nice to see I'm not alone in my struggles with food 😊
Could you eat rice or pasta when you were growing up?
I have arfid too and don't think this is the right way to go about expanding your palette. Try things that seem like you MIGHT like them. With no forcing yourself. IDK but that's what I started doing and worked great! I'm MUCH more open to trying things now because I DIDN'T force myself.
im so proud of you
i'm trying to figure out what it means that i just started cringeing so much at just seeing this video in my subscriptions feed. not sure.
also tbh hearing you describe these fruits from your point of view made me not want to eat them either lol
i think i may understand what you were trying to describe how you felt before eating the dragonfruit. maybe i just have an extreme aversion to peas, but when i have a spoon of peas in front of me, i feel tense all over, and even getting anywhere close to the thought that they could go in my mouth and into my stomach causes me to feel queasy and have some sort of violent vomit/gag-reflex combo of twitching in my stomach muscles. terribly sorry for such a graphic description :/
I also hate peas! I dislike most small squishy foods. :^0 I prefer things that are crunchy most of the time.
I love your cat! I don't have arfid but I don't know if I would want to try that fruit with the goopy seeds either. Terrible looking texture.
You did so well!
I researched ARFID and I think I have it and I’m scared ;^>
oh, im allergic to kiwi! its weird because i still really like them, they just burn my mouth a lot. the middle white bit is my FAVOURITE part, its way sweeter
You did so good!!
The yellow star fruits taste better lmao. I'm so proud of you for trying these, I know how big of a step that is 😁😘👍I think I've tried all except the melon.
Be the first success story on the internet. I’m yet to see one. I haven’t had like any one these except apple and oranges 😂
I have arfid too but i love fruits!
Wow. I would never try this stuff
I'll eat any fruit but there are some here I've never heard of. I'm always nervous to try some because they are expensive and I don't know if they are in season or not. I don't know how they are supposed to taste
Wooo another ARFID girl! Hello😀
I really enjoyed your videos
well done you did so well I was cringing at all the seeds !!! lol
Idk if this is something you’d ever want to do, but I thought it would be a cool idea to use those taste changing miracle berry pills?? And try some of your favorite foods to see how the taste changes ! Or maybe you can try some things you don’t like and see if you like them after. Just an idea!! I have ARFID and I don’t think I’d do that, but if your courageous enough, it would be cool to see!
Yeah, I've been thinking to do it myself..Would be cool to see though
Hi i'm addison and I have arfid but never had problems eating fruits and l vegis.
Literally only ever ate a bite out of a strawberry, banana, grape, and blueberry. Never had them more than once. Send help, AFRID is a pain in my ass
I don't like most of those either! Bananas are pretty okay but grapes? Terrible. I didn't think the nectarine was too bad actually, maybe try that one!
Morgan Gale The banana and blueberry were the easiest, I nearly threw up the strawberry and the grapes were just hella grosss oof the after taste bleh. Thanks for the suggestion, I watched your video and feel more confident to try some new things, expecially since you commented back
My God, all these fruits look terrifying xD.
ok this is me I can't stand any fruit besides smoothies or juice
I am terrified of fruit I'm amazed anyone could stomach any of it
I love fruits so much..
But I hate most other foods 😖
I'm 1.66cm / 39kg
Because of that 😞
When you have arfid, and can't get the food you can eat... it's sooo difficult and painful 💔
I LOVE THE CAAAT
This is great content
That is the dullest knife ever. Pretty sure I have arfid too. Oranges are a huge no. That apple you tried is the only apple I can really handle but it has to be tiny pieces. I have to inspect berries like no other and even then the only way I might eat them is mixed in yogurt (no guarantee). Grapes are yummy VERY rarely but they have to be like. Perfect. And they very rarely are so NOPE. kiwis are ok if they are properly prepared and ripened, if not, too sour, do not like, nopenopenope. Melons like honeydew and watermelon can't be too slushy but cant be crunchy. But anyway, so proud of you! The dragonfruit always interests me but more as decoration. I would never eat one tbh
The lady on the right seems to suffer from a fruit cutting disorder. Don't know how this plate survived this.
My sister is allergic to starfruit
this is SO FUNNY i make the same faces lmfaooooo
Raspberries are a fruit that I can do , not the squishy ones
I only had an apple in this entire thing. OMG ur reactions are like the same as mine I go straight for the water😂
Have you figured out what morgan was allergic to ?
i also have arfid and i can relate sooooo much
I love fruits but I hate veggies and fish so much due to I cannot stand on texture and smell and taste. I like fruit due to sweets.
Have you tried avocados? They are a type of fruit, and they go with anything
I eat all of those fruits on a daily basis
They are fruits
Yes and?
hello there
Fruit is something I’ll eat. I have AFRID so I’m very picky and selective too
Good video but could do without the cheesy music. Was driving me nuts
Dragonfruit tastes like a less sweet kiwi lol
The cat also has an eating disorder
Good job going for it! I have a hard time with fruits because they have to be really firm, which usually means... not quite ripe lol. So then the flavor is not amazing. Store bought raspberries reeeeally weirded me out at first, but now they’re aight. Wild ones are so much better! Much more firm, not “hairy” that I remember, and way more flavor.
