- Even if you are a fruit and veggie lover, chances are you’ve never heard of most, if any, of the produce grown on Aaron Choi’s Girl & Dug Farms in San Marcos, California. Badger Flame beet ring a bell? Butterfly sorrel? Oca? How about ice plant? We were stumped, too, but intrigued. Join us as we visit Aaron’s family farm to find out how he started growing all of these unfamiliar eats.

this guy needs a whole episode dedicated to his work on netflix
@Sousuke Y wtf?
@@hpg3703 it's the youtube comments section, what do you expect?
@@TheAechBomb what did he say lol
@@TheAechBomb im curious lol what did he say
YES PLIS
That is by far one of the biggest 180° turn
*Aaron:* I want to Teach religion
*God:* Nah fam, go help your parents in their farm
lol
What if I was a different religion
180° turn all right. 🔄
But you could make a religion out of this...
@@armwrestlingfan6804
Out of the strawberries...?
I wanna know more about those fruits/vegetables in detail!
Right!? The video is way too short.
you are literally on the internet
Agree!!!
@@samirhazlehurst8806 is there rare and they haven't really been heard of, what makes you think that he is putting his details of his plants on the internet yet?
@@colleenharrison1638 you can find all of them through google using the incorrect phonetic spelling. this took about 25 seconds. if you're hard of hearing or don't speak english, you can turn on the closed captions to get the correct spelling. unless you're over the age of 80, there's no reason for anyone to find that difficult.
I wish you guys would go a little bit more in depth. You say it’s a great big story but right as it gets good it’s over.
That's the idea. Its aim is to compel you to go read up on it yourself if you're interested enough
Completely agree with you!
Basically you’re saying that this video suffers from premature ejaculation...
@Earth Titan wow, shameless promotion much?
Exactly my thoughts! It was just getting interesting and then it was over...
I'm genuinely curious about the tastes! Throughly enjoyed the storytelling and his voice aaand that last shot of the family's home cooked food looked heavenly delicious
just imagine the flavour variety of each of these fruits and vegetables when cooked combined or generally processed...thats a whole new wave of tastes
I have tasted the ice plant in the past. Tbh there isn’t a lot of flavor, but it was extremely crunchy and watery. Almost like biting into a lettuce but much more crunchier. Hoped that helped a bit.
ice plant has a peculiar texture, it’s like the texture of watermelon that is condensed and in a leaf form without the taste
The squashchini he mentioned is actually a Korean pumpkin/zucchini... it’s really good
Daphne Yan thank you, never thought of as described as the texture of a watermelon. But the more I think about it, that description is 100% true.
breeding ground for plants vs zombies characters.
Like the Easter egg Guys
pony qi wtf, I was just reading a book about that. 😂
So does this mean we can get to breed Doom Shrooms?
I would want to grow wallnuts in my garden.
@@wall-nut9917 well i have news for you
Ice plant is like eating tiny bubble wrap leaves filled with water and for some reason it's good
Did you taste it? Where did you get it?
Loom it has a lemony and salty taste, much like sorrel
Sounds like the way cavier is a bubble that pops in your mouth
This man be growing Pokemon berries.
Omg yess! Can't wait for him to make the iconic pokepuffs and poffins!!
Soon he will be growing pokemon weed!!!!!!
0:21 That's *Ceplukan* . They grew wildly in south east asia. Very cheap in traditional market but expensive in modern supermarket.
yeah in india its actually grown naturally over here. No one grows them. We eat it occasionally
Cimplukan
I remember my parents used to plant them at our backyard. The taste is quite peculiar to me. Sweet but slightly sour and bitter
Some call them golden berries cause they turn yellow when ripe.
They're called uchuva, uvilla and aguaymanto in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru respectively :)
This video is so short! I wish it were longer, like maybe 30 minutes.
Wanted to know more about the produce tbh
Someone send Gordon Ramsay to that farm, please!
He does not like vegetarian he might just throw them and take the dog.
@@shuntz just because he doesn't like vegetarians doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate good vegetables. They're ingredients, Gordon has cooked vegetables plenty of times.
@@shuntz omfg
299th like lol
I tried hackberries for the first time off of a hackberry tree last week and it was unbelievably good!
Tasted like a nut or grain mixed with raisin! Crunchy texture.😋
Living in the countryside of the Philippines, I've eaten Pichu berries during my entire childhood but never really knew what it's called. The locals here call it C.O. C.O. (pronounced as see-ow see-ow). Thanks to this video, I finally found the answer. ❤
Likewise its been like 30yrs i have seen this plant way back in ph and finally now i know its name.. Thanks for the help
@@hibzaokilife1398 no problem! ❤
@@satie622 i throught it was poisonous but when i was in china i saw this fruit in the market and amazed... But i never taste it 😊
"Without food we don't have conversation," littrely my family.
Thank you my botany classes and my love for plants; I knew every plant he mentioned. Iceplants belong in the family Aizoaceae; they're also called stone plants! The last purple flower looks very much like a primrose, Primulaceae, especially with the retracted petals and erect stamens. I sure love plants. Also, oca is just "yam" aka "also a sweet potato" aka another reason for you to hate common names. It's a three-leafed clover, an Oxalis.
Your stories never fail to amaze me. The variety, quality, and intrigue is just unparalleled! Thank you for existing! ♥️
Every fruit and vegetable of the video are in Peru 🇵🇪, I love eating smashed oca for Christmas
What are they? A type of potato?
Farisa Smith It's similar but closer related to sorrels rather than nightshades
I've heard of oca but then I am a gardener and love plants. Oca is beautiful. I just hope people don't exploit the native people and their environment. Much of farming and growing is preserving history. As keepers of the Earth, I support small scale farmers because I find corporations too destructive wherever they go.
More like a carrot.
@@Rinsuki that sounds interesting, the native people are fine, now a days they win lots of money for producing varieties of oca, potato and corn.
So beautiful!! Thank you!
I'm always up to try new foods.
I got a cockmeat sandwich for you bro
Even human meat?
you're pop explains XD
I could watch a whole documentary about this, very interesting!
The Virgin Lettuce vs. The Chad Ice Plant
I love to grow unique fruits and vegetables as well ! What an awesome story.
I love this! It's the opposite over over-specialization with with wheat and fillers it's the reintroduction of variety and appreciation of lesser known plants herbs and edibles that have their own personality and nutritional benefits to boot!
I dream of a world where native plants make a big come back and we start to embrace the medicinal and healing qualities of these amazing specimens as well as expand the flavour pallet!
Good on him! I hope he goes far!
Ice plant always hit different
Brings me back memories
0:20 Berries that was named after Pikachu's first evolution.
What an interesting selection of unique veg and fruit! I think people would want those too not just restaurants.
Growing things is very fulfilling and therapeutic. Everyone is looking around trying to find purpose and fulfillment. Planting a seed and watching it grow into a plant, and then being able to eat the plant is wonderful. It's like magic. It gives you the power of nature.
Food connects all of us, keep growing those strange vegs
Yeah ok but you did not even tell us what makes them different from other veg besides their looks!!
it's rarer, and less people know about it
Butterfly sorrel can be eaten? Omg there are lots of those in my parents’ house. I thought they’re only decorative plants.
Wow! I recognized one of these plants from a trip to Singapore I took. I had a slice of cake with pichuberry on top, I loved the flavor but couldn’t find out the name of the fruit. How serendipitous, now I know :)
The new vegetables update is looking good
If you think about it, this is amazing!!
Really inspiring!
Whaaaat??? From Theology to Agriculture? That's a total 360 degree turn. I've never heard or seen most of those produce ever. This is very educational. God bless!
I think that all stores need to have them.😊
I think that farms need to grow them just like you have been doing.😊
Some day I would like to taste them.😊
Literally my dream!...this is exactly the kinda of farm I see in my future I can't wait
That's so great instead of reading fiction all day. He's now doing useful work!
I really liked the idea of growing such things which people have never heard of, people lover crazy things...good luck.
GREAT I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Haven't done 180 yet but I still enjoy my dad farm.
I love this channel 😊
So cool! I want to go plant these also. Maybe one day!
We just tried a box of their vegetables tonight and it was amazing! It took Korean ssam to another level.
I would like to request significantly more information about the fruits and vegetables
Tofu Said. Google! 😉
Great short story
meanwhile in a french restaurant... one of those things must be 10000 $ each
Oca 😍😍😍😍😍 I am from the Andes, we love it 😆
Awesome video
Oh the dog in the background 🥺💕
ice plant is really amazing
Proof that sometimes you really need to explore everything in life to find your calling (or something that resonates with your soul).
Always blows my mind to find out how many fruits and veggies there are that I've never heard of. It's easy to be tricked into thinking you have a good grasp of what's out there so it's nice to be reminded that the world is larger and more complex than you previously thought.
That butterflyswirl or something its just a flower in our country ☺
I think so. Indonesia?
So much fruit!!!!
Excellent
Now I'm gonna go look these things up.
Yeah this is crazy neat.
Girl & Dug are still operational! I found them on instagram because I wanted to know more about the odds plants. Fascinating stuff
Ive never heard of this before!
That purple leaf thing is my grandma's plant. Hahah I never knew that u can eat them. Hahah
Butterfly sorrel, I don't know it I spelled it right.
Isn't that oxalis? We have that in our garden as an ornamental plant
in Bangladesh we called it's Laal shak. and it's very tasty.
I want to know more about how you were able to do this! I wish more people in my country returned to farming. This is the new-age farming this man and his parents have made which I cannot think of a better way to get in touch with nature while doing what you love.
Some of these dishes looks like those japanese wagashi desserts :D so elegantly organized and beautiful.
0:21 We call it "cimplukan" in my hometown.. and you can find it everywhere.. 😁😁
I wanted it to be very detailed video. Wowww
I can get behind this.
Thanks 4 the intro.🍵🍈🍳🍴
ice plant is amazing
I think that’s brilliant 👌🏼
In my country you can find pichuberries everywhere in countryside and they usually grow at road side
So basically Picachu's jewels, huh!
I want to try these!!!! New York City needs to know!!!
Amazing
I feel hungry already 😋
I would loooove if they offered farm tours aka some specialized tour that let us taste all the amazing things they grow there. I would 10/10 do it.
we have pichuberry in our backyard. i thought it just a display for our garden. i have to take a look again and taste it.
Lovely
I want to try so many of these! I've heard about pineberries and other white strawberry breeds, and I have never had a chance... But the oca tuber and the other one -forgetting the name- intrigue me, and while I've heard of ice plant, I had no idea it was edible!
Last few days I have been thinking of monopoly popularization of some fruits and vegetables i.e. tomato, ball peper, carrot, broccoli, strawberry, Apple, orange, tangarin etc across the world. After watching this video...it feels so good.
Now I wanna taste them all
Sweet!
Pichuberry was my favs childhood fruits
I wanna study those magnificent plants
i love peachy berries 😊 i ate them way back before when i was still a kid .. there are tons of them outside our house 😋😋😋
I have those pine berries in my garden. Taste really as a mixture of strawberry and pine apple :)
i tried ice plant before its delicious
A farm full of 🌈IMAGINATION🌈
Hi i love your channel
Some of these I've actually never heard of but I think this is targeted more to an (North) American audience since they usually don't know much about anything outside of what they're taught or what they're used to (like fast food).
Okay...
2:02 If that’s beautiful than I must be gorgeous.
The pichu berry we call CEMPLUK'AN , Here there is a lot, but when I was a kid. Coz we always play in the field when we fell hungry, always looking for it, so much fun to find it
Oka taste so nice there like a mix of apple sauce and potatoes
Brazilians are raised to enjoy veggies since kids, so hell yeah I bet they would be taking school kids to visit that farm if it was in Brazil lol I would love that myself😋
I wish this was closer-we can’t grow oka here and my dad really misses it. Maybe some day!
We started experimenting with alot of different greens. Haha I see what you did there. I'm experimenting with some green from Cali as I watch this vid..
Omg this is in my city!!!!
0:35 that's an interesting description he has there
0:19 Ive seen those "sunset sorrels" before, didn't know they were edibles! Too bad we moved before i could try one.
I need more
00.20 Pichuberry are one my favorite in my country Indonesia we call it "Ciplukan". That fruit only sell in some specific supermarket 😋😋
