Have you ever went to Brazil and had jabuticaba? Its a sweet little black berry with a seed in the middle, the entire thing is edible but you can remove the skin or seed if you feel like it.

Baobab is so "addictive" because it's one of the only things in nature containing both fat and carbs in significant amounts. That combination is just too hard to beat. It's been said that sugar alone is more addictive than cocaine, and the combo is on another level still.
Baobab is identical to a native brazilian fruit called Cupuaçu, it's sour and kind of creamy too, very hard to separed the "meat" from the seed, but it's incredible as a icecream or juice

Gosh maybe I overlooked the thimbleberry's. I ate them a couple of times when I lived up in Redmond Washington but I wasn't very impressed by them compared with the blackberries.
That is a very ignorant view. They are far from the primary colors. Try eating a natural strawberry. Hardly any flavor at all. The cultivars we consume have been bred to have tons of intricate and deep flavor profiles. The issue is you are used to them so they seem regular and ordinary to you, meanwhile fruits not sold here have the allure of being exotic. If you lived in the countries where they grow it would be normal to you and some of our ordinary supermarket fruits would be exotic.

Get a little plot of land or use a Terrasse. There is no reason you cannot grow indoors. There are plenty of things you could grow in a sufficiently big pot and most Appartments Happen ton have windows. An led can support growth. Start with easy stuff that grows allmost everywhere like marakujas. Bananas also grow in a lot of dif climates. Growing some easy crops like salad and onion, sweet potatoes, basil and other herbs can go a long way in reducing expenses for food and increase variety. Like any other plant most root plants can be grown in pots. Best fertilizer is piss btw, 10% mix. A human can provide enough fertilizer for him/herself through urine alone so it is another thing to save money on. In a ln Appartments I would suggest a bukashi compost. You do not need to travel abroad to get fruits from all over the world, they can come to you as clones, seeds, fruits. Sometimes it takes time. Like trying blueberry cactus. 7 years from seed to fruit for example. Other things go much faster. I have just ordered around 20 different marakujas. Some almost extinct some extinct in wildlife and seldom cultivated. Fruits you cannot even buy if you travel abroad unless extremely lucky. Oh and purple bananas

oh god, rose apple just bringing back so much memories to my childhood. i spent the early part of my childhood in the southern china guangxi province. me and my friends would go into the bush of my neighborhood's park and climb the trees to get some rose apples for snacks. they're so good that i surprise no country that i been to sell them as produce. and by the way, this is the first time i heard they called rose apple in english, back then i heard people called them "water grape" in chinese, but we just thought they're some sweet fruit grows in the park lol
It is sold in the supermarket near my house, but they are very expensive. I had a tree in my office, we used to pluck and eat from. Hence never felt like buying it.
i live where thimbleberry grow wild, and thank you for acknowledging their greatness. they are an unnoticed staple in the berry community and i wouldn't mind if they replaced strawberry in the throne of berry fame.
You should've come to Bangladesh, there's a mango called "lakfajli" in Rajshahi. I feel like it comes straight from heaven. It is the best mango, the best fruit I've ever had. I can't describe how good it is.
I'm about to start a mango turf war here, as is my desi birthright. Fajlis are good, but nothing beats a good Amrapali. Those things taste like something from a dream you've had on a sweltering summer afternoon before the storm, under the boughs of a mango tree in bloom.
@@gomboc5146 It's been two years, and now I agree with you too. My opinion of Lakfajli being the best mango ever has changed. Finding a good Lakfajli is a game of luck. You have to have a good fruit-finding nose like me as well as good luck. But Amropalis are ALWAYS good. They taste and look like somebody imagined them while tripping on some heavy drugs and their imagination came to life. I skip regular meals in summer just so I can eat Amropalis to my hearts content. My stomach fills up but my tastebuds want more.
About timbleberries: I think wild raspberries might taste quite similar. I highly recommend trying it. You can find it for sure in Carpathian mountains, but they are probably common in many places. they're small but have super concentrated flavour and are sweeter than store-bought.
Yay thimbleberry! :) they're lovely I missed eating them this year due to timing. Thanks for mentioning a wonderful woodland treat lol They grow all over the East Kootenays in Canada. We have a lot of berries in our area :)
Hi, the number one fruit in Brazil is named BACUPARI, is a Garcinia gardneriana / Garcinia Macrophylla. And there lots of different varieties of them in the country. And the correct name of the Achacha is Achachairu , is a south american indian name (as the bacupari). Very difficult to pronunce in some languages.
The rubus illecebrosus ( balloon berry) is a amazing looking fruit like a raspberry a size of a large strawberry, it's popular in Lithuania. There are a lot of rare syzygium's in australia like the Syzygium luehmannii and the really rare native water cherry ( syzygium aqueum )
Your videos make me miss Bolivia so much!! Your #1 is great, but Bolivian Ice cream bean fruit (Or as I know it: Pacay) will forever be MY #1. Thanks for also making a video about that fruit- I got to share it with friends who don’t have the opportunity to try my favourite fruit here in Canada. If you ever go back to Bolivia, I suggest comparing our mandarins and other citrus fruits to the one’s you might have already tried. The ones you’ll find at fruit-vendor stands won’t look as pretty as the ones in North American supermarkets, but imo they taste so much better!
great video man, keep pumping them out. really enjoyed meeting you in NYC and thanks so much for the fruit tasting. Got to try cacao and tamarillo for the first time and i loved both, and your coco de mer documentary was extremely well made. You should enter it into a film festival, it is that good...
Thank you for showing the hamam mangoes. Never knew what they were called, but I called them unripe mangoes and hated them so much as a kid. Maybe I'll try some this summer 😀
For me, it's everything in peak season ripeness: Summer Indian alphonso mango! June German freshly harvested strawberries. A simple crisp juicy sweet and sour apple in fall. A fresh date of unbelievable sweetness and creamyness. A ripe cherimoya. A pineapple. Blackberries in my childhood plucked from my grandmas garden. Cherries fresh from the trea.
I had Durian in Thailand this spring. I tried it twice because the first time I wasn't sure if I had actually gotten Durian because the flavor was mild and it didn't smell bad. The first time Im guessing it wasnt fully ripe. I would say an under ripe Durian is good but fully ripe tastes like the smell which is like death and rotten onions.
Lol! I was able to find a fresh durian here in San Diego and I was SO excited! When it was uncut I thought it smelled good and considering I’m all for trying every fruit I can get my hands on I was down for an experience! Then I cut into it. It was HORRENDOUS! Like gasoline and rotten onions. I tried to eat some but it was so bad and the awful taste lingered and only got worse! My adventurous, fruit collecting ass was shamed that day as I took the rest of it, triple wrapped directly outside to the garbage can. I don’t think I got a bad one either, since then I’ve smelled durian flavored things and it was just about the same. I think it just has to be one of those things like cilantro or broccoli that tastes different to different people. It’s the only way I can rationalize it’s popularity!
They’re one of my favorites too! I was able to track down some seeds and grow them so I’m really looking forward to tasing my own fruit! I was amazed how much they actually taste like a rose!
Agreed on the mamee apple, they're delicious. We were always told you shouldn't eat too much because the flesh contains pyrethrins, you found a live worm in one so there goes that.
Mangosteens are my favorite fruit. You have no idea how stoked I was to hear Garcinia was at the top of your list. I was literally fist-pumping like my team won the Super Bowl. Now I need to get my hands on Garcinia Intermedia!
By the way, that fruit was not Garcinia intermedia. I think it was a Platonia insignis, but it was not a Garcinia intermedia. Intermedia is sour and has a small amount of flesh.
11:27 I think it is a Bacuri(Platonia insignis), the taste you have described match with the taste of Bacuri. On top of that, Bacuri grow in the amazon forest.
i have had sabote since i was young(i am a Vietnamese so there are lots of those) and it is honestly one of the best fruits out there, and it makes a great smoothie too.
The rose apples, Mami and custard apples were childhood favs of mine in jamaica...we also had nesberries aka sapodillas in other Caribbean countries that tastes like concentrated sugar with a rose scent.
very interesting set of videos! while I lived in Malaysia, my favorite fruit was purple mangosteen, but they were only available for a short time per year. Rambutans (translates to “hairy things”) were available more frequently. The best bananas were pisang emas (golden bananas) about 5 inches long with amazing flavor. The best US super market bananas, in comparison, taste like styrofoam. I grew into liking durian (thorny thing) quite a lot. I thought it was like eating raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. Durian had the reputation of being slightly psychoactive and euphorogenic (“Makan badan panas.” = “Makes your body hot.”). Do you have any thoughts about other psycho active fruit?
custard apple is also very common here in the philippines, But for me, custard apple tastes like sugar apple. I love your show, I am amazed by the fruits that are very unfamiliar.
Wow, I did not expect to see a fruit I recognized! Thimbleberries grow on my dad's property and I have a lot of happy childhood memories associated with picking and eating them.
Some of my family live in Vietnam and have a big rose apple tree in their front yard. When I went to visit, I would always pick them off the tree and eat them. They are so delicious! Sweet, juicy, floral, crunchy, hydrating. A lot of the rose apples I've found at Asian supermarkets in North America taste bland and watery. I guess my family's tree produces nice and sweet ones!
The garcinia intermedia is the lemon drop mangosteen/Baraba is smaller, like one of those berries, there is not much flesh to it and it definitely does not have the flavor profile you mentioned. Could you confirm the name of the fruit again, maybe local names perhaps, thx.
You should taste panganapalli mango from india, that is called so in Tamil nadu, I don't know what it is called else where but that mango can flutter your heart and give butterflies in your tummy just when it is being passed by your way, mom puts it in rice basket to ripen it, when ever she opens to scoop rice, the whole house gets affected by it's aroma
Another very perishable and hard to find berry i grew up eating in texas is the mulberry. Very mild sweetness when ripe(purple) but sour and tart when unripened(green to red). Makes for a VERY strong purple dye when ripe. Like a permenent marker haha
Now I’m happy to know that there is something that tastes like my favorite flavor of yogurt, I’m lactose intolerant and after corona is over, I’m heading over to baobab town 😎
I came around a thimbleberry bush in BC ans stumble right infront of a big ass brown bear as i was going around it into a very narrow row of thimble berry bushes....He was about 10 feet away from me... He was eating and he looked at.. continued to eat berry as he walked across those bushes to let me the passage... It was a very very precious moment. Those berries were overripe and tasted like rasberry jam. Thanks for sharring!
Just discovered your channel its awesome, thanks! I want to grow my own tropical food forest one day. My favorite fruit right now is papaya and I'm trying to grow them in southern Missouri. Overwinter indoors in containers obviously. Thanks again
This the second of your "Top 10" lists of which I am growing three of species. From this video, I am growing Casimiroa edulis (white sapote), Annona reticulata (bulls heart) and Garcinia intermedia (lemmondrop mangosteen)
waiting for the next top 10, i have ordered so many of the top10 fruit trees that it is forcing me to add a sun room on my home, i,have over 60 citrus and all sorts of unusal friut trees it is additive.
I have actually found a Thimbleberry plant in the forest. I ate them and thought it was a wild raspberry until i found out otherwise by seeing an article online. They are amazing and go to my secret spot all the time to eat tem.

Thank you so much for sharing your life and travels with us. I get so excited to see your videos.... I've looked on Amazon and did find a few of these fruits... Very pricey as you can imagine..

Peach, doctor Lucius pear, Queen pineapple from Kerala, sugar apple, mangosteen, shahi litchi from Muzaffarpur, mango Imam pasand, Langra and Mallika, longan, red guava.
Rose Apple: Jambo, in Brazil. It is hard to find in the markets, but there are a few trees planted on the street here and there. Very hard to find them ripe on the tree, as they get picked quick. The flowers are beautiful, have you seen them? Pink. Very pink.
Lived in Nigeria for 3 years, On our compound there was a very healthy and vibrant Mango tree. I used to pick the fruits off myself to eat as a kid, mainly red, but with some yellow when ripe, not the green crap you get in Tesco, those are way under ripe! Take the Tesco Mango home if you want to "ripen" it by leaving it in a bowl, but its NO WHERE near the same as picking a proper ripe one from the wild! The Mangos were awesome, a truly great child hood picking those bad boys for free. But...........there was another. It exceeded those juicy Mangos ! It was a fairly small shrub looking thing, not the mighty tree of the Mango! It was the Guava, if the fruits were available us kids always made a bee line for the Guava before the mighty Mango. So there you have it, there is a rival to the Mango!
Thimble berries definitely grow farther north than Timmins ontario.y grandparents used to own a camp like 3 hours north of Timmins, and I remember picking these as a child up there. There were also raspberries, but my grandfather and I would pick them, and I remember asking why the flatter rounder ones tasted sweeter and less sour than the other ones and he just said that they were more ripe, but upon reflection the taste and appearance were definitely different. My grandmother would make pies out of them, as well as blueberries, but the blueberries up there were smaller and more tart than the ones that grow around Sudbury

@Frank Winkhorst that’s the joke. Though I didn’t know the honey thing
You should've come to Bangladesh, there's a mango called "lakfajli" in Rajshahi. I feel like it comes straight from heaven. It is the best mango, the best fruit I've ever had. I can't describe how good it is.
I'm about to start a mango turf war here, as is my desi birthright. Fajlis are good, but nothing beats a good Amrapali. Those things taste like something from a dream you've had on a sweltering summer afternoon before the storm, under the boughs of a mango tree in bloom.
@@gomboc5146 It's been two years, and now I agree with you too. My opinion of Lakfajli being the best mango ever has changed. Finding a good Lakfajli is a game of luck. You have to have a good fruit-finding nose like me as well as good luck. But Amropalis are ALWAYS good. They taste and look like somebody imagined them while tripping on some heavy drugs and their imagination came to life. I skip regular meals in summer just so I can eat Amropalis to my hearts content. My stomach fills up but my tastebuds want more.
Hm idk bro i like both
Also there are too many kinds of epic mangos in India or even just Bengal alone.
All hail the fruit god
About timbleberries: I think wild raspberries might taste quite similar. I highly recommend trying it. You can find it for sure in Carpathian mountains, but they are probably common in many places. they're small but have super concentrated flavour and are sweeter than store-bought.
Thimbleberries are the only one on this list I’ve had, a ravine I regularly walked through had a bunch of them at the entrance
this man is literally living my dream. my dream is to try fruits from all over the world. im crying rn
Me too!
Me too..I have a dream of travelling the world and just eating the fruits all along...
Yay thimbleberry! :) they're lovely I missed eating them this year due to timing. Thanks for mentioning a wonderful woodland treat lol
They grow all over the East Kootenays in Canada. We have a lot of berries in our area :)
Thimbleberries grow like crazy by my work and I eat them every year Never knew what they were called but they are amazing
Hi, the number one fruit in Brazil is named BACUPARI, is a Garcinia gardneriana / Garcinia Macrophylla. And there lots of different varieties of them in the country. And the correct name of the Achacha is Achachairu , is a south american indian name (as the bacupari). Very difficult to pronunce in some languages.
The rubus illecebrosus ( balloon berry) is a amazing looking fruit like a raspberry a size of a large strawberry, it's popular in Lithuania.
There are a lot of rare syzygium's in australia like the Syzygium luehmannii and the really rare native water cherry ( syzygium aqueum )
Your videos make me miss Bolivia so much!! Your #1 is great, but Bolivian Ice cream bean fruit (Or as I know it: Pacay) will forever be MY #1. Thanks for also making a video about that fruit- I got to share it with friends who don’t have the opportunity to try my favourite fruit here in Canada. If you ever go back to Bolivia, I suggest comparing our mandarins and other citrus fruits to the one’s you might have already tried. The ones you’ll find at fruit-vendor stands won’t look as pretty as the ones in North American supermarkets, but imo they taste so much better!
absolutely a modern marvel that we have this series
great video man, keep pumping them out. really enjoyed meeting you in NYC and thanks so much for the fruit tasting. Got to try cacao and tamarillo for the first time and i loved both, and your coco de mer documentary was extremely well made. You should enter it into a film festival, it is that good...
Thanks so much ken! thanks for the peppers , going to review those babies later today.
@@WeirdExplorer you are going to be pleasantly surprised. they arent that hot and really tasty...
Thank you for showing the hamam mangoes. Never knew what they were called, but I called them unripe mangoes and hated them so much as a kid. Maybe I'll try some this summer 😀
This channel needs to be more popular, if only because the work you do is eye opening and can help aspiring botanists and chefs
When you talked about Baobab it reminded me of a fruit native to Brazil's savannah (cerrado) called Jatobá, it's powdery and sweet.
For me, it's everything in peak season ripeness: Summer Indian alphonso mango! June German freshly harvested strawberries. A simple crisp juicy sweet and sour apple in fall. A fresh date of unbelievable sweetness and creamyness. A ripe cherimoya. A pineapple. Blackberries in my childhood plucked from my grandmas garden. Cherries fresh from the trea.
I wish you and Miami fruit could somehow get some of these into supermarkets.
I had Durian in Thailand this spring. I tried it twice because the first time I wasn't sure if I had actually gotten Durian because the flavor was mild and it didn't smell bad. The first time Im guessing it wasnt fully ripe. I would say an under ripe Durian is good but fully ripe tastes like the smell which is like death and rotten onions.
Lol! I was able to find a fresh durian here in San Diego and I was SO excited! When it was uncut I thought it smelled good and considering I’m all for trying every fruit I can get my hands on I was down for an experience! Then I cut into it. It was HORRENDOUS! Like gasoline and rotten onions. I tried to eat some but it was so bad and the awful taste lingered and only got worse! My adventurous, fruit collecting ass was shamed that day as I took the rest of it, triple wrapped directly outside to the garbage can. I don’t think I got a bad one either, since then I’ve smelled durian flavored things and it was just about the same. I think it just has to be one of those things like cilantro or broccoli that tastes different to different people. It’s the only way I can rationalize it’s popularity!
I love the rose apple i eat so many every time i go back to Thailand but so expensive in the uk
They’re one of my favorites too! I was able to track down some seeds and grow them so I’m really looking forward to tasing my own fruit! I was amazed how much they actually taste like a rose!
Bro at end of 500 episode make an overall top 10 or top 15. Thank you
Agreed on the mamee apple, they're delicious. We were always told you shouldn't eat too much because the flesh contains pyrethrins, you found a live worm in one so there goes that.
Mangosteens are my favorite fruit. You have no idea how stoked I was to hear Garcinia was at the top of your list. I was literally fist-pumping like my team won the Super Bowl. Now I need to get my hands on Garcinia Intermedia!
By the way, that fruit was not Garcinia intermedia. I think it was a Platonia insignis, but it was not a Garcinia intermedia. Intermedia is sour and has a small amount of flesh.
Thank you, Jared!
Another stunning compilation. What amazing diversity our planet has.
11:27 I think it is a Bacuri(Platonia insignis), the taste you have described match with the taste of Bacuri. On top of that, Bacuri grow in the amazon forest.
Got both Bull' heart and Hamam mango trees in garden😋
I'm Indian btw❤
Nice video, Greets from Bolivia, now starts the achachairú season🤩 but i want to prove a timbleberry looks great
i have had sabote since i was young(i am a Vietnamese so there are lots of those) and it is honestly one of the best fruits out there, and it makes a great smoothie too.
The rose apples, Mami and custard apples were childhood favs of mine in jamaica...we also had nesberries aka sapodillas in other Caribbean countries that tastes like concentrated sugar with a rose scent.
very interesting set of videos! while I lived in Malaysia, my favorite fruit was purple mangosteen, but they were only available for a short time per year. Rambutans (translates to “hairy things”) were available more frequently. The best bananas were pisang emas (golden bananas) about 5 inches long with amazing flavor. The best US super market bananas, in comparison, taste like styrofoam. I grew into liking durian (thorny thing) quite a lot. I thought it was like eating raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. Durian had the reputation of being slightly psychoactive and euphorogenic (“Makan badan panas.” = “Makes your body hot.”). Do you have any thoughts about other psycho active fruit?
Raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. I'm sold! 🤣
You can find rambutans in Asian markets in America easily.
custard apple is also very common here in the philippines, But for me, custard apple tastes like sugar apple. I love your show, I am amazed by the fruits that are very unfamiliar.
So....i saw this then raced off to order thimbleberry plants fr my garden. Thanks!
Omg, I knew it'd be something related to achacha. Was blown away when I tried it in Sydney, insane. Great pick.
Thank you fruit man I enjoyed this
Wow, I did not expect to see a fruit I recognized! Thimbleberries grow on my dad's property and I have a lot of happy childhood memories associated with picking and eating them.
Lucky! I want to try them. They sound really good
Some of my family live in Vietnam and have a big rose apple tree in their front yard. When I went to visit, I would always pick them off the tree and eat them. They are so delicious! Sweet, juicy, floral, crunchy, hydrating. A lot of the rose apples I've found at Asian supermarkets in North America taste bland and watery. I guess my family's tree produces nice and sweet ones!
I really like that rose apple. Its soo good
The garcinia intermedia is the lemon drop mangosteen/Baraba is smaller, like one of those berries, there is not much flesh to it and it definitely does not have the flavor profile you mentioned. Could you confirm the name of the fruit again, maybe local names perhaps, thx.
Wow! Didn’t expect to see a fruit that grows in my backyard (literally) to be in this video! Thimbleberries must be better than I remember lol
You should taste panganapalli mango from india, that is called so in Tamil nadu, I don't know what it is called else where but that mango can flutter your heart and give butterflies in your tummy just when it is being passed by your way, mom puts it in rice basket to ripen it, when ever she opens to scoop rice, the whole house gets affected by it's aroma
Congratulations on passing the 400 video milestone! 🍒🍑🥭
Thank you!
Another very perishable and hard to find berry i grew up eating in texas is the mulberry. Very mild sweetness when ripe(purple) but sour and tart when unripened(green to red).
Makes for a VERY strong purple dye when ripe. Like a permenent marker haha
Now I’m happy to know that there is something that tastes like my favorite flavor of yogurt, I’m lactose intolerant and after corona is over, I’m heading over to baobab town 😎
I came around a thimbleberry bush in BC ans stumble right infront of a big ass brown bear as i was going around it into a very narrow row of thimble berry bushes....He was about 10 feet away from me... He was eating and he looked at.. continued to eat berry as he walked across those bushes to let me the passage... It was a very very precious moment. Those berries were overripe and tasted like rasberry jam. Thanks for sharring!
Hey guy, would you make a video about your top favorite: sweet, sour, and savory fruits separately...? I'm curious what be at the top of each category
Maybe sometime! too many reviews to get through at the moment to do more top tens
That’s a really good idea
Surely you have a field guide book to accompany your wonderful work. Loved this.
I used to love to make and eat thimbleberry pie!
Just discovered your channel its awesome, thanks! I want to grow my own tropical food forest one day. My favorite fruit right now is papaya and I'm trying to grow them in southern Missouri. Overwinter indoors in containers obviously. Thanks again
Thanks! I was just in Missouri, very cool that you can grow papayas there.
You are genuinely doing good research, sir.
Mamey apples are amazing.
This the second of your "Top 10" lists of which I am growing three of species. From this video, I am growing Casimiroa edulis (white sapote), Annona reticulata (bulls heart) and Garcinia intermedia (lemmondrop mangosteen)
For a second I thought you were going to put Water Apple at #6 and I almost cancelled my Patreon support ;)
Haha that would have been totally justified.
thimbleberry grow like absolute weeds here in the PNW and are absolutely everywhere in infinite amounts. so good.
psilocybe cubensis... best fruit ever...
also kiwanao
It's in fungus family...
Yeah the seeds are so annoying though right😒
I’ve never had white sapote but I have had mamey sapote. It tastes like pumpkin mixed with apricot.
waiting for the next top 10, i have ordered so many of the top10 fruit trees that it is forcing me to add a sun room on my home, i,have over 60 citrus and all sorts of unusal friut trees it is additive.
So glad to hear that!
i honestly want to do that
@@ashaler__ i now have 81 citrus and my second greenhouse will be set up next month 20x40 (my addiction is bad)
@@diannaodman2847 i need like 10 greenhouses in my life, need to cultivate sweetsop haha
I have actually found a Thimbleberry plant in the forest. I ate them and thought it was a wild raspberry until i found out otherwise by seeing an article online. They are amazing and go to my secret spot all the time to eat tem.
Rose apple???? It’s called rose myrtle in Vietnam
Wow, what an amazing and beautiful life you lead. Please , please no matter how comfortable you are with traveling, be on guard and protect yourself. Ok, down to what I want to say😘... Thank you so much for sharing your life and travels with us. I get so excited to see your videos.... I've looked on Amazon and did find a few of these fruits... Very pricey as you can imagine..
I haven't tasted most of these fruits, but my favorite one so far is not in this list, it is jabuticaba
Post Raisin Bran Made with raisins which are grapes which have been dried in the sun for a long period of time And bran, the hard outer layers of cereal grain along with germ It is an integral part of whole grains Post Raisin Bran
Durian, mangosteen, soursop, lychee, rambutan, and longan are the best fruits in the world.
I could have trusted your list but then I saw the name "Durian"
Thoppilorchards
no need to put lychee and rambutan together, rambutan is the superior version of lychee xD
Number 1 is Bacuri, Platonia insignis
We have in Brazil also, if you go to Brazil and meet Helton Muniz he has 1.500 different exotic fruit trees in his farm, you have to visit Brazil next time
Who else here remembers the first 'top 10' 100 episode special he did?
Peperidge farms remembers...
I hardly remember, thank god for pepperidge farms.
@@WeirdExplorer Peperidge farms ALWAYS remembers...
So happy to see the Achacha-achachairu, oroco get a honorific mention. Im sure 1 deserves its place and makes me want to try it as soon as posible.
I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching them.
I hope the best for you and Im sorry for the chauvinistic attitude of my countrymen in previous videos.
I dream of durian
Peach, doctor Lucius pear, Queen pineapple from Kerala, sugar apple, mangosteen, shahi litchi from Muzaffarpur, mango Imam pasand, Langra and Mallika, longan, red guava.
4:38 SPOILER ALERT!!!
for future episode 421
Rose Apple: Jambo, in Brazil. It is hard to find in the markets, but there are a few trees planted on the street here and there. Very hard to find them ripe on the tree, as they get picked quick. The flowers are beautiful, have you seen them? Pink. Very pink.
I love thimbleberries. They are amazing.
Those all look delicious... wish i could travel and try them all!
I want the antique clock (I think) in your thimbleberry video. Gorgeous colors on it.
You just made me walk to my local supermarket and pick up a bunch of weird fruits
Thimbleberries are so good! I love foraging for them in the summer.
It would be interesting to see ranking videos by genus aka ranking every Rubus species you've tried or Annona species.
sapote is amazing. I waited so long to eat one and it was so worth it.
I’m from Washington state and thimbleberries were one of my favorites. Also good are salal and blackcaps
Lived in Nigeria for 3 years, On our compound there was a very healthy and vibrant Mango tree. I used to pick the fruits off myself to eat as a kid, mainly red, but with some yellow when ripe, not the green crap you get in Tesco, those are way under ripe! Take the Tesco Mango home if you want to "ripen" it by leaving it in a bowl, but its NO WHERE near the same as picking a proper ripe one from the wild! The Mangos were awesome, a truly great child hood picking those bad boys for free. But...........there was another. It exceeded those juicy Mangos ! It was a fairly small shrub looking thing, not the mighty tree of the Mango! It was the Guava, if the fruits were available us kids always made a bee line for the Guava before the mighty Mango. So there you have it, there is a rival to the Mango!
I want to try the Chilean guavas . Looks really good
It is sawo, sirsak, jambu... You must taste the fruit around the world even in the ground like bengkuang... Nice review
9:33 the pawpaw fruit is actually native to north america and you can find them growing here in some forests.
I live in oregon and thimble berries along with huckleberries are actually some of if not my favorite seasonal treats
Have tried Sri Lankan Exotic Fruits... and mangos as well... we have many different kinds....
Thimble berries definitely grow farther north than Timmins ontario.y grandparents used to own a camp like 3 hours north of Timmins, and I remember picking these as a child up there. There were also raspberries, but my grandfather and I would pick them, and I remember asking why the flatter rounder ones tasted sweeter and less sour than the other ones and he just said that they were more ripe, but upon reflection the taste and appearance were definitely different. My grandmother would make pies out of them, as well as blueberries, but the blueberries up there were smaller and more tart than the ones that grow around Sudbury
Have you had Rubus occidentalis? They grow along paths here on hiking trails etc, very tasty!
Weird Explorer is strangely one of the best UA-camrs I watch when I have nothing else to watch
