Banana Blossoms, Chayote, Bitter Melon are vegetables. It has to be cooked. Chayote is pronounced at Sayote. Tamarind & Pomelo are my favs! My Uncle use to have tamarind & Pomelo tree on our farm and I usually take some if its in the season
LOTS of ppl eat zucchini raw. vegans use zucchini in a spiralizer to turn zucchini into noodles. add marinara, alfredo, pesto, cheese sauce, or just a simple garlic/olive oil/white wine sauce to the raw zucchini noodles, it's delicious! also I eat raw zucchini on a veggie tray. I've made tapas with zucchini, just slice into rounds & top with cremé fraíche & caviar - excellent!
Bitter melon - hollow it out, slice it up. Season with salt and fry with onion, garlic, etc. Serve with bread / pita (roti) That's how we eat it (caraille is our slang for it).
It's so funny to look at the description of the video talking about exotic fruits and a photo of Jaca. Here is this common good fruit, especially in northeastern Brazil! I love you!
+Carlos Albelo I've had that as well! We're Mexican and it's usually just put it soups a lot of times in the fall. It's really good it breaks down and has a great taste
I know that in some parts of the world different foods are considered exotic and for Americans these are because they are not commercially grown here. And for most Americans unless you've traveled, explored different foods through the internet, are not born in the US, or a close part of your family is from a different part of the world you will have no clue what these foods are and have never tried them. I am glad to say I have had the opportunity to try some of these thanks to being half Puerto Rican on my Dad's side. And I am grateful of that.
Yeah my mom uses chayote when she cooks "cosido" I don't really like it but I felt weird watching them eat it without knowing what it is or how, I was "cook it, boil it! Not raw!!!"
i wish they brought in people who knew about how to eat these better. it frustarated me because half of them arent meant to be eaten like fruits and i eat all of these except for the sharp melon thing.
+MissPopeyes22 agreed. idk why people judge so much. they think they can do it better or know more then make your own show and see how many people watch. i love that their adventurous and dont give a fuck haha:)
Im fine with the people who tried the foods, i love them, I just wish that the people who chose the food could explain how the food is eaten/used to those trying the food (Jessi and Joslyn).
who TF eats bitter melon raw? i don't even like it cooked. feeding them raw bitter melon is like giving someone who is eating meat for the first time raw meat to taste.
Bitter melon is good for diabetes. It is not being consumed raw. Bitter melon and chayote is eaten like vegetables in the Philippines. Cooking them before eating
banana blossom is considered as vegetable, must cooked vegetable, the jackfruit treat like a fruit when ripe, but treated as vegetable when unripe, in javanese cuisine
the banana blossom is considered a vegetable here in the philippines. Cooking it would make it taste so much better. Bitter melon and chayote are also considered as vegetables here :)
whether something is exotic or not depends on where you live. for example grapefruit, watermelon, blood oranges and passionfruit are exotic for me because it's hard to find them where I live and if you can find them it's only for about a month
bitter melon chips with chilli powder are so good, but they're terrible raw. you have to soak it in water and lemon before cooking it because of bitter they are.
Actually, sometimes I eat zucchini without cooking them.. I just grate them and put them in my salad XD I don't know if it's something only we Italians do but I don't think so :D
I only like them grated or cut very thin.. but yeah, I know people who eat it like cucumbers too.. I've tried but they taste too "raw" in my opinion xD
I'm from Indonesia and jackfruits are so good especially when you fry it by only mixing flour with water and then put the meat along side with the seed inside and mix it together and just fry it.
Lily S probably at a farmers market or an international market if your state has a China town it will most likely have an international market. hoped this helped
The Jack Fruit is called a Soursop in Trinidad and we make ice cream and punch from it. It is quite expensive because it is very very healthy and is also an effective treatment for cancer and kills cancerous cells 10×s more than Chemotherapy.
Where i live the pomelo is called pompelmoes and the bitter melon is called sopropro you're supposed to get all the white from the inside out and then you can cut it.....the more you wash it the less bitter
+Shenita P. Fruit have different variations some natural and some modified just cuz u haven't tasted if doesn't mean it's not a thing look up sweet tamarind
Quanzelle oh I didn't say they aren't, I'm pretty sure there are 😝 the only sweet tamarind I had was the packaged one, which I guess was prepared in some sort in sugar syrup. Oh yes tamarind juice?? Yum !! I love how it's sweet and sour 😊 we also get some a little spicy, perfect combo
Fun fact jack fruit is one of the mane ingredients for flavor in juicy fruit gum.
Rebecca Brubaker AWESOME! JUICY FRUIT IS LIKE MY FAVORITE! I'll have to buy one and try it for myself!
Huh not a big fan but fun info to know
Prince Amir thanks for educating me I'm bad at spelling
Juicy fruit gum tastes disgusting
Rebecca Brubaker ***main***
The Banana blossom and bitter melon should be cook first before you eat it. Hahahahahaha
And chayote also. We ate all those cooked. Hahaha
we americans are naive to the ways of the world
Yass they should do a research first before aired, i mean no one eats raw banana blossom ever until this!
safanup The others probably knew but didn't tell them for entertaining reasons 😂
Nele Wittmeier yeah you're probably right i didnt see it that way before your comment👍🏼
Being a jamaican and hearing tamarind and peanutty 😂 + the way they cut the damn jack fruit! 😂😂😂 i'm triggered
MoDacCi yess😭😂🇯🇲🇯🇲

I just binge watched all of Jessi's videos but here she is again.
What does binge mean? I'm so confused
+Nicolette Hay oh, ok thanks!
It means to to something in large amounts in a quick time. So like watching like a whole season of a show in one day.
+Destiny Rodriquez it's like constantly watching . like binge watching UA-cam and you watch UA-cam straight
Same 😍.I keep repeating videos I already watched,as long as it's by Jessi freakin' Smiles 💋.Dats da love!
"Like if you don't like flavor it's really good"😂😂😂
Tamarind is considered exotic!!!? Mind blown. Where I live they're all over the place😂😂
Exactly
😂😂😂
GAWD! How is it exotic!
same lol
tamarind is exotic in America not in Asian countries :)
Jack fruit is awesome it can be grown really easily and could really help world hunger, fun factsssss
+Sar Bear so the only thing that could end world hunger is meat?
+Sar Bear she said end world hunger not provide the world with macronutrients
It's SOOOOO tasty!!!😍😍😍

Sophie Smith I love the jack fruit

+Disya Putri Setiadi I had a giggle at that!!! Jackfruit is the correct word indeed 🙂
lol you're supposed to cook the bitter melon and banana blossom
yea they r used as vegetables if I'm not mistaken
+Jenevie D'Silva Yeah they are. Here I shred the banana blossom and put them in soups. Also we stuff the bitter melon and add it in a stew.
Is it same as bitter gourd???
+suraz lama yuppp it's the same
Same with the chayote squash
Banana Blossoms, Chayote, Bitter Melon are vegetables. It has to be cooked. Chayote is pronounced at Sayote.
Tamarind & Pomelo are my favs! My Uncle use to have tamarind & Pomelo tree on our farm and I usually take some if its in the season
Justine Reyno I AM SCREAMING THE WHOLE TIME WHEN THEY EAT THEM RAW LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
Well I did eat bitter melon raw.
LOTS of ppl eat zucchini raw.
vegans use zucchini in a spiralizer to turn zucchini into noodles. add marinara, alfredo, pesto, cheese sauce, or just a simple garlic/olive oil/white wine sauce to the raw zucchini noodles, it's delicious! also I eat raw zucchini on a veggie tray. I've made tapas with zucchini, just slice into rounds & top with cremé fraíche & caviar - excellent!
raw vegans* not vegans
i cut the zucchini in really thin slices and put oil, lemon, salt and a bit of grated cheese and it tastes amazingg 😍
+dianita huertas both do it, even if they aren't strictly raw
But cheese sauce isn't vegan...
Vegan cheese sauce.
Bitter melon - hollow it out, slice it up. Season with salt and fry with onion, garlic, etc. Serve with bread / pita (roti) That's how we eat it (caraille is our slang for it).
Amelia Boo trini!!!!!
Banana blossom is a vegetable for sure. at least it is in India you don't eat it without cooking it
mimi jones same as bitter melon 😂
Jessi at 4:57 is every girl or guy giving the first hand job 😂
OMG! the banana flower and bitter melon are considered veggies! hahahaha
as well as the chayote (sayote)
+TheNanadith omg, they are not vegetables but they are fruits
They have seeds so they are by definition fruits
+Jackie Joseph nope. vegetables also have seeds
GoThIqUe ZoMbIe fruit is what's around the seeds, unlike vegetables.
Bitter melon & Chayote are great vegetables in Filipino dishes, best cooked people they're not meant to be eaten like fruits...
peace2out1 the chayote is also used in Haitian food too
peace2out1 ikr
It's also heavily used in south Indian food. Tamilians use Chayote squash a lot
They should've tried Durian
Imagine Jessie having surströmming if she thinks durian is the smelliest food LOL
Yeah I'm from Sweden and surströmming is fking horrible :S
Yea, surstumming smells so freaking gross! the smell of durian is like nothing to surstrumming.
..wasnt the "Jack fruit" Durian???
jana malik no its a different fruit 😂
It's so funny to look at the description of the video talking about exotic fruits and a photo of Jaca. Here is this common good fruit, especially in northeastern Brazil! I love you!
Jack Fruit
Just because it's not exotic where you live doesn't mean it's not exotic to other people -_-
It is exactly why she said "it's so funny"...
Por sinal, amo jaca
+Laura Campos Eu tb😍
she kind of sounds like Jennifer Lawrence 😂😂
Evelyn dos Santos That’s what I was thinking. 😂
I have had tamarind before it isn't that bad it's just really sticky

We eat it in soups
My mom puts it in caldo de res
+Carlos Albelo I've had that as well! We're Mexican and it's usually just put it soups a lot of times in the fall. It's really good it breaks down and has a great taste
I like chayote raw with salt pepper and garlic
Yes we use it in like soups and lots of other things
I know that in some parts of the world different foods are considered exotic and for Americans these are because they are not commercially grown here. And for most Americans unless you've traveled, explored different foods through the internet, are not born in the US, or a close part of your family is from a different part of the world you will have no clue what these foods are and have never tried them.

P.S. Clevver TV love your videos.💕
I love chayote! We put it in beef stew!
Or "caldo de res"
Omg same here I eat that too
Same!! I love it in my abuelita's caldo de res. Nicaraguense over here lol
+Cynthia Hernandez 🇳🇮
Yeah my mom uses chayote when she cooks "cosido" I don't really like it but I felt weird watching them eat it without knowing what it is or how, I was "cook it, boil it! Not raw!!!"
i wish they brought in people who knew about how to eat these better. it frustarated me because half of them arent meant to be eaten like fruits and i eat all of these except for the sharp melon thing.
Would defeat the point of the video
You need to chill.
+MissPopeyes22 agreed. idk why people judge so much. they think they can do it better or know more then make your own show and see how many people watch. i love that their adventurous and dont give a fuck haha:)
Im fine with the people who tried the foods, i love them, I just wish that the people who chose the food could explain how the food is eaten/used to those trying the food (Jessi and Joslyn).
+Petrushka Sevilla that makes sense
I thought they were gonna open that giant melon thing and Shangela was gonna pop out
George Bond omg 😂😂😂
George Bond how did ai just noticed this commentz😂
HALLELUUUU
who TF eats bitter melon raw? i don't even like it cooked. feeding them raw bitter melon is like giving someone who is eating meat for the first time raw meat to taste.
EXACTLY! I eat it cooked smothered in sauces.
I sometimes blend the raw melon as a juice with other ingredients.
I eat raw ham and bacon
+skye anderson I don't think that's healthy... you could get food poisoning
I didn't think they knew... 😂
Jamaicans use Chayote in chicken soup and when cooked it kind of tastes like cooked potatoes
They also call the chayote Cho cho
Yeah same for Hispanics lol
In Mexico we use it too!!!! It's so good, I love it
The tamarind is really good my family makes juice with it
these is all like found in the Philippines lol some are not fruits tho
I know this cause I'm filipina
indonesia too
lets just say all over asia bcs those arent only have in your country
scientifically speaking, all are actually fruits :)
Yeah!! I used to eat those when I was in the Philippines!!
The 'green wrinkly fruit' is called a choko. We have them here in Asutralia. You cook them
I think it's just really funny because it's like eating raw potatoes😂
we call it a sopropo
we call it 'pare' in indonesia 😂
In Jamaica we call it choco
it's called chuchu in Brazil
I just love Jessie's reactions in her exotic food videos
Jack fruit is really tasty, but you either like it or you don't and it's very sappy, so you have to really scrub your hands afterwards.
Elsa Arinaitwe a trick I've learned is if you rub your hands with coconut oil first and then wash with soap, all the sap cones off!:))
I love it
Bitter melon is good for diabetes. It is not being consumed raw.
Bitter melon and chayote is eaten like vegetables in the Philippines. Cooking them before eating
and also the Banana Blossom, It's used in Kare Kare :) I can't believe they ate that raw
I eat it raw. But with onion and tomatoes and salt. Parang enselada.
Try it
A pomelo (the large grapefruit thing) is a cross between a pomegranate, melon, and orange. They're really good 😊
omg bitter melon and chayote needs to be cooked!! and it's a veg.
and I felt like crying the way they cut up the pomelo you're supposed to peel it even though the skin is thick af. but still love the vid
+Green Living Ikr
IF IT HAS SEEDS IT BY DEFINITION A FRUIT!!!!!
+Jackie Joseph CALM down💤😴👶🏼
Banana bloosom too
banana blossom is considered as vegetable, must cooked vegetable, the jackfruit treat like a fruit when ripe, but treated as vegetable when unripe, in javanese cuisine
the banana blossom is considered a vegetable here in the philippines. Cooking it would make it taste so much better. Bitter melon and chayote are also considered as vegetables here :)
Joslyn “this is exfoliating me, it has all my dead skin cells on it” *feeds it to colleague*
Nice one hahahaha
Joslyn: "It's super horny!"
Me: on the floor ded! Ded Af! (from laughing😂😂)
Finally. A show where Joselyn CAN eat it. I'm so happy for her.
Pomelo is exotic now?
and asian pear? no way that's exotic. If I can walk into a regular grocery store and get it it's not "exotic".
I've seen none of these before, so to me they're exotic
+Shelby Chanel my mom buys asian pears at the normal grocery store in Canada so you're right it's not exotic
I literally have dried pomelo in the kitchen right now
whether something is exotic or not depends on where you live. for example grapefruit, watermelon, blood oranges and passionfruit are exotic for me because it's hard to find them where I live and if you can find them it's only for about a month
tasted them all already in the philippines lol
oh, and banana hearts are tasty when eaten cooked, with coconut milk or something
ya im from philippines to
+Hans Joachim Olsen Ikr, we used to eat them raw and they're delicious 😊
true! seen them all and tasted them all there too.
True Banana heart salad with coconut milk and vinegar
Merliton also known as an alligator pear, I put them in like por stew or caldo de res. Super yummy especially the seed in the middle
Bitter melon raw! vegetable fruit you have to cook it!
Eyez low Not necessarily. Cooking it just takes away some of the bitterness
Oh my god. You're suppose to cook the bitter melon.
and the chayote
and the banana blossom
yeaa
"It tastes super edible" I'M DEAD 😂😂😂
bitter melon chips with chilli powder are so good, but they're terrible raw. you have to soak it in water and lemon before cooking it because of bitter they are.
jack fruit chips are also really really good
we call it a sopropo
The stylez yeah
+Padmja Sopori I know right
Actually, sometimes I eat zucchini without cooking them.. I just grate them and put them in my salad XD I don't know if it's something only we Italians do but I don't think so :D
I see raw zucchini in catered crudité platters or big salad bars, can't say it's too common though, but I'm not a huge fan of it myself raw or cooked.
+Jennifer Huitzil I eat it like a cucumber and just take a bite out of it sometimes
I only like them grated or cut very thin.. but yeah, I know people who eat it like cucumbers too.. I've tried but they taste too "raw" in my opinion xD
Joslyn is the funniest human being
Omg I'm gonna fucking scream if I see that benzac acne commercial again!!!
Get AdBlock, man. You'll never see a UA-cam ad again.
Yes me too!!!
+Duymong Nguyen Can u get it on phone tho?

+Vanessa Enlow actually chayote and Bitter melon is call fruit because the contain seed within them
+nhi nguyen
Thank you.

+Danica Loreene Domingo so true
I'm from Indonesia and jackfruits are so good especially when you fry it by only mixing flour with water and then put the meat along side with the seed inside and mix it together and just fry it.

Tamarind is considered exotic? damn
Yeah considering that they are in America. Besides that anywhere else it not really

i didnt even know what that was, europe doesnt have them either
+Anna Repova they do but you have to go to Asian stores
i mean yeah, you can buy anything in europe, but if i asked anyone on the street about it they wouldnt know what it is
This is one of my favorite episodes of cheat day.
I like jessi's voice
OMG ME AND JESSEI ARE EXACTLY THE SAME except the hair and age obviously 😂😂
Came back to this from another cheat day and I forgot how funny this one was 😂😂
5:27 lmao pit stains
Everyone sweats yknow
Some people have excessive sweat issues. I get it sometimes where i will sweat like that for no reason. It sucks.
I just want to get a jackfruit or durian and throw it at them for being so rude and dumb
+Steve S but still they're exotic to Americans.
+Steve S I'm in Cali and they're exotic here
+Anna-Katharina not down in Florida. you'll find more then half of these at publix

*Lily pats Joslyn* "Bye." *RUNS*
I can't trust fruits with knubs 😂
bitter melon an tamarind are used for cooking...
Tamarind might be but I love eating it raw in Cuba eating it raw is a thing not cooking it
+Nathalie Gamez we eat it raw here in Trinidad too... as a candy treat mixed with sugar an spices 😊
Please do an episode where all of them make one of there famous dishes and all of them have to try them
How is tamarind, bitter melon, pomelo, Asian pear, or jack fruit exotic? Lol or banana blossom
It depends on where you live
+Just Commenting true, but it's common where they live so I'm a bit surprised.
I have never heard of any of these :)
Because you don't tend to find them in the fruit and veg isle at Aldi or Morrisons
Because its not really grown in the US
Where did you get the pomelo fruit I really wanna try one !!!!!!!! ClevverTV plz respond
vh
Lily S probably at a farmers market or an international market if your state has a China town it will most likely have an international market. hoped this helped
Lily S I once saw it at a flea market! (:
its from argentina
I choked drinking coffee trying to watch this. LOL. "Are you supposed to eat the seeds" "I dunno they taste super edible" WTF?
I love a jack fruits
wtf.. who eats a chayote raw..😂😂😂Is supposed to be a vegetable cook with chicken is pretty good.. and by the way is supposed to be peeled it too 😂😂😂
Yeah idk why they didnt cook it
Afterall they feed on Burgers all day
The Jack Fruit is called a Soursop in Trinidad and we make ice cream and punch from it. It is quite expensive because it is very very healthy and is also an effective treatment for cancer and kills cancerous cells 10×s more than Chemotherapy.
since when pomelo is crazy exotic???
Jake Zaren ikr
you're supposed to cook the first one. 😂😂😂😂
the fourth one too. 😂
and the 5th one. 😂
I love lapsing into an epileptic fit watching videos.
you should cook chayote before you eat it. it tastes like potatoes when boiled.
Suzette Espinosa Piña ya they do
Chayote is a veggie
Jos makes me laugh, like always
shes great
Why is this on cheat day when this is healthy
What is Jessi's accent?
Cuban accent although she sometimes throws in the Miranda Sings accent lol
Miami accent
Vanessa WithLotsOfLove j

❤❤
+Jasmine Turner me too
Where i live the pomelo is called pompelmoes and the bitter melon is called sopropro you're supposed to get all the white from the inside out and then you can cut it.....the more you wash it the less bitter
Guys I see s Jamaican fruit

i was hoping the same thing
Pomelo ahí que lo voa paltil
omg please log off lmao
jajajaja lo lei cantando!
JAJAJAJJAJAJA
What you called Chayotte : boil it in really hot water for like 30 minutes, peel of the skin, dip it in salad sauce. It tastes wonderful.
you had bad tamarind cus its supposed to be sour and make u salibate like crazy
No there's sweet tamarind
+Quanzelle the only tamarind I've had was sour. Unless it was coated in sugar lol
+Shenita P. Fruit have different variations some natural and some modified just cuz u haven't tasted if doesn't mean it's not a thing look up sweet tamarind
+Shenita P. It actually tastes really good ... Have u ever had tamarind juice?
Quanzelle oh I didn't say they aren't, I'm pretty sure there are 😝 the only sweet tamarind I had was the packaged one, which I guess was prepared in some sort in sugar syrup.
Oh yes tamarind juice?? Yum !! I love how it's sweet and sour 😊 we also get some a little spicy, perfect combo
How is it a cheat day if you are eating heathy
It's actually ch-EAT DAY
just because it grows from a tree that doesn't make it healthy.
There's a fuckton of sugar in fruit.
Li/ fe natural sugars
just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's healthy.
Not saying it isn't, but Cyanide is a natural thing too.
Li/ fe it's not fucking sugar. It's FRUCTOSE ...this world is gone to hell if now even fruits are considered unhealthy.
Guys!!! Bitter guard and banana flowers are vegetables!!! We make curries with them to be eaten with rice!!
U guys did not peel the pamelo right u peel it like an orange
Why do you pause the music every 2 seconds. The whole comedic effect thing wears off after the first 10
Thanks for the video! 😊
Fun fact: Grapefruit is a hybrid of the Pomelo and the Seville Orange.
No offence but Jessie's pit stains tho 😂❤️
Tynisa Warick i saw them too
Tynisa Warick no offense but your spelling sucks
