This is a cherry tomato that grows in the summer without enough watering, I have full ones in the yard. I think the information you found is factual if you look at the pictures that are at 1:58, then at 2:05 and at 2:11, you will see that the flowers that appear there belong to the passion fruit, and the plant at 2:11 is an eggplant plant. In addition there will be something very suspicious in the fact that all the information about this fruit was written only recently, and only by one person (especially when it comes to being known and widely used in the areas where it is grown). Wikipedia is a site where anyone can write and edit, so one should take what is written there with some suspicion.
When I was a child, in Mexico, there were black ones in my garden and my father said they were "jaltomates". They were pretty tasty. Like a sweet tomato. The name of those is "Jaltomata procumbens". Jaltomate (or the Latin name Jaltomata) is a hispanized Nahuatl word. It comes from "xalli" meaning sand and "tomatl" tomato >>> "xaltomatl". The X in Nahuatl represents an "sh" sound. The sh sound in 1500 Spanish evolved to the modern Spanish J and many Native Mexican words went through this same sound shift, like the word Mexico itself. This modern sound is somehow similar to an English h sound but indeed more guttural. So it's not that a German dude actually invented the word. He just took a word that already existed for the whole genus.
Do I spy a fellow linguist. I love allophones and how phonology influences orthography. I was just on the tl literally today talking about how aguacatl means scrotum bc they look like ball sacks 😂.
No freakin way, until you pulled up the page that said it was from Peru, I kept thinking "it must be something else, it must be something else," but nope. I've tried these before (while living in Peru) because I was interested in all the weird fruits there that were unknown to the rest of the world. I'm stunned to see these mentioned anywhere else, but I suppose you *would* be the person to find them.
5:51 That's usally the case with berry-type fruits. This can vary significantly between species and specimens, but I once ate a berry where the unripe one was really dry-acidic, one that was just right tasted exactly like caramel, while one that was overripe felt a lot like wine.
When Jared says its "in the solanaceae family" & your mind says "Oh! Tomato!" & you only know that from watching Weird Explorer. Not only are your videos great & interesting but also educational! Thank you friend! ❤🍅🍌🍇🍎
Die hard WFE and Jared fan. “Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t” is a really good channel. He’ll will have you saying Latin names with a thicc Chicago accent in no time.
Kind of curious, can you taste them I'm assuming allergic to fruit would mean tasting just not swallowing. Though imma guess there is also cases of just tasting can cause issues?.
I love watching these in bed when I'm about to sleep. With my eyes closed I can nearly taste these fruits just because of how well he describes flavor. Anyone else?
You should try some conifer false fruits. Many of them seem to be listed as edible, but very very little information exists about the actual qualities of the fruits. All sorts of good ones to try in the Podocarpaceae and Taxaceae.
the taxaceae fruits are pink on the outside and colourless and very slimy on the inside. I would love to know how they taste but the problem is only that pink seed mantle is edible, the rest of the tree, including the seed "inside" the mantle is highly poisonous as in able to kill you without remedy. Taxaceae can kill a horse or a cow that nibbled on them. Though birds eat the seeds for the false fruits, the seeds can pass through them without being digested. To me its literary a forbidden fruit because I don't know how much toxins would pass in to you from the place the seed attaches to the tree even if I were to spit the pit out. That and I'm afraid I would bite down on the seed.... The other family I haven't heard of but look interesting.
@@dicenia3881 I always thought abouy removing the seed and cutting the bottom half of the yew cup off so you're left with like a... yewy-onion-ring or something.
It sucks thinking about all the things in the past we will never experience. imagine all the foods that have gone extinct before we could try them out.
Lol, I’ve only just started but I love the light despair: “I don’t know…I don’t know what to do.” 3 pronunciations right off the bat and all with such reasonable regional reasons.
The word is Nahuatl: Xāltomatl (lit. "sand tomato"). Nahuatl X is pronounced like English SH, but when borrowed into Mexican Spanish and spelled J, the pronunciation is like an English H. If a German were to say it, like Weird Explorer suggests, it would not be with the English CH as in 'CHeek' (like he says) but with the German CH as in 'loCH', as in German 'BuCH.' The sound is the same as Greek χ, Georgian ხ, Latin American Spanish j, or Mandarin, Japanese, or Korean h (as in 河, 発表, or 흥정).
@@FiSH-iSH J in the Latin alphabet is a medieval development used to distinguish Latin i used as a consonant from Latin i used as a vowel: "yuh" (IPA 'j') as opposed to "ee" (IPA 'i'). That consonant sound shifted in English and French to their modern value "juh/dzuh" (IPA 'd͡ʒ'), and in Spanish to various forms of "huh" or "chuh" (IPA 'h', 'x', or 'χ') depending on region/dialect.
Can you review 2 types of berry? 1- Morus Cathayana - China, Japan & Korea 2- Morus Wittiorum - China This is the second time to leave the same comment. 😅
@@garrett1847 Not now for sure but later or someone there can send it to him like this video. The two berries above are super rare. I try my best to find one picture but I wasn't lucky even with the Chinese websites 😭 and for sure that type of fruits is what you want to watch here. 😎
they are rare but only in terms of buying,Morus Wittiorum is not that much grown for commercial fruit purposes, but grown for silk, and is actually not hard to find in the wild Morus Cathayana on the other hand, is used as Wind Resilient Trees, so can be found in packs in the right season but would suggest going for any mulberry species really, for by my experience they don't taste much apart
many members of the Morus genus would use the word "桑" , which roughly translates to mulberry for example,Morus Wittiorum being長穗桑 and Morus Cathayana being華桑 the fruit of the plants of lots of morus genus plants would be called "桑葚" btw, I'm from Taiwan, and is native mandarin(traditional)
Very interesting video, as usual! I also enjoy when you can really feel the excitement someone has when making a totally new discovery. It's usually pretty infectious, and I find myself getting caught up in it, too.
When I went to Peru, I tried over a dozen local varieties of fruit sold nowhere else in the world. The biodiversity in that country is mind blowing. My favorite weird Peruvian fruit is Camu Camu, which makes amazing lemonade.
my new favorite channel! cant believe I havent found you before now but here I am!! good shit. I'll be watching all your videos! I love the Breadfruit video.
Hi, I just discovered your cool channel! I was looking up more information on some tiktoks I saw about fruits I've never heard or seen before and found you! These are so awesome and informative. Keep it up the good work 😊
So it may interest you to know I actually grew a few Jaltomata species from seed in CT of all places. Thomas Mione was my instructor at CCSU. One of them was unknown to science circa 2004. I may have very well been the first American to cultivate them besides Dr. Mione himself. I found the unknown species them to have an almost oniony tomato flavor.i grew them in pretty poor soil however. Not sure if that affected the flavor. The other variety i grew was a black berried variety...Jaltomata procumbens if I recall correctly. That one was a tad more bitter and less sweet but lots of the same notes. You could likely succeed growing them in NY in a pot. I had to pollinate them manually as their native pollinators don't exist here. If you want seeds, Dr. Mione still teaches at CCSU in New Britain, CT.
Some pollinators may work for certain species. Certain species have different flower types for beetles, bees, "humming birds" - probably relatives of humming birds. Some pollinators take a year to really start going to new flowers types as well. Some that I will be growing this year: Jaltomata bernardelloana Jaltomata ventricosa - two different types Jaltomata herrerae Jaltomata procumbens Quite an interesting / diverse genus. Different pollinators might prevent easy cross pollination - but I will attempt hand pollination for hybrids. Some of these apparently taste quite nice while others are somewhat larger in size. Jaltomata weberbaueri seems to have rather large fruit, but the seed available online is a bit expensive... Maybe next year.
@@garrett1847 i was doing an independent study so to guarantee fruit I pollinated them myself. Its been over a decade but i believe i was trying to see if two species from different regions were capable of viable seeds via cross pollination and then cataloguing any morphological differences in the resulting plants.
They really look like a yellow version of black nightshade (solanum nigrum). Try them if you can find them, but most likely you'll have to grow your own or find them in the wild, as they get really soft towards peak ripeness.
that's really cool! Makes me wonder how many 'forgotten' species there are, like species that people used to eat hundreds of thousands of years ago, whose culture disappeared or they moved away and now no one knows about them (like a step further than this fruit, not even locals who know it)
I know you're not the greatest at pronouncing things, but for reference, Quechwa is pronounced KE-chwa (e is pronounced like the e in error, ch is pronounced like they are in English, same goes for the wa)
That looks like the fruit in those ornamental plants the rich neighbors have. That we kids use to throw at each other like the little pickles/watermelon.
Dear Weirdo, I have followed your channel for many years and I don’t know why, but I enjoy your content such as it is. I enjoy learning about new and delicious fruits as you present them to us. In a change of gears, I am curious to know if there are delicious fruits out in the world that in addition to excellent taste and texture if there are some that additionally provide a drug like effect on the consumer. If there is such a fruit out there I would particularly enjoy watching you consume one and then describe the effects. I have heard of fruit that will turn into fermented alcohol, so that is one I suppose. Are there others? Thank you.
The brief glimpse of the leaves of this plant that you provided looks almost exactly like the leaves of the wild Ozark "Ground Cherry" that we have here in Arkansas. That is a paper shell tomato a little bigger than what you are showing, and almost identical to the commercial "Cape Gooseberry", but sweeter. They are a very delicious browse fruit here.
Interesting Musho fruit, like a mini tomato but more on the fruity side, yeah I could really dig these musho balls of goodness on my corn flakes or granola! Thumbs up Weird Explorer, liked and greetings from Mexico. :)
I'm growing some of these this year - so far the musho seedlings resemble those of other solanaceae, in particular goldenberry and s. nigrum. The most developed of them has already started forming some flower buds, so wish me luck - each year I get my tlanoxtle to bloom as well, but they've never set any fruit 😞.
I ate musho several times in the Peruvian jungle (not in the mountains!). It would grow wild on the side of the river where there were forest clearings for gardens. The ones I saw were more yellow than red. They tasted like a sweet tomato, very mild. I never saw them for sale in the markets, only growing wild by river gardens. I imagine the work to collect them wouldn't be worth the price to sell them. I'm glad I found this video, because this is the only time outside of Peru I have heard of or seen them.
Its very similar to: Solanum sisymbriifolium wich in Uruguay and Argentina is known as "revienta caballo" or "Horse killer" very probable not because the fruit but of the thorny plant that probably mess up horse digestive system.
Looks like a tomato and gooseberry had a baby! Edit: I posted this at like the start, hilariously I guessed his comparisons and what not perfectly, lol. 🤣
How has this randomly become my favourite UA-cam channel, I’m not angry about it btw I just never thought I would be... dude if you see this you’re fkin amazing and I want to eat all of these beautiful fruits
You should try the autumn olive, also known as the Japanese Silverleaf, the jams made from it are absolutely delicious. Very tart and drying in taste. People make wines out of it. And they are an invasive species around the world. A pain in the butt to get rid of. I quote from an MSU study “A pest of the west, and beast of the east.”
"More gutteral like a german CH" "Chaltomata" ...Jared. German CH is pronounced either as that back-of-the-throat noise you make when you imitate a cat hissing, or SH. (Northern and southern accent respectively) /rant
I mean... how is he supposed to know that? Most English has a strong Germanic influence, but it's not really a language that is widely learned here. I thank you for the information, but it needn't be a rant
I am not a big tomato fan myself. I have Oral Allergy Syndrome so eating a lot of fresh fruits/vegetables can be dangerous for me as is but a lot of berries and berry-like fruits don't affect it. With tomatoes, I just hate the texture of it unless it's diced or made in specific ways, as well as the seeds from it affecting my OAS and giving me swollen lips and itchy mouth symptoms. But this actually looks small enough to actually eat without having a lot of effects at once. I can quantify it too if I ever come across any. Thank you for opening my eyes a bit more in the fruit world because it may give me intel as to what kinds of fruits and berries exist in the world that I can actually eat without dying from it!
That is so awesome. I am currently reading a book that is set in the Andes of Peru with some mysterious stuff happening, so this adds up! Haha. Thanks for sharing stuff like this!
Have you ever tried black nightshade (Solanum nigrum and other closely related, in the U.S. Solanum americanum is widespread)? It's said to be poisonous if not ripe, and still a bit poisonous if fully ripe, though I've eaten the berries (carefully making sure they're really ripe) and they haven't made me sick. They're like black pea-sized tomatoes, but a little sweeter. Each berry I squeeze a little to make sure the seeds are not green, since the berries are black before they're entirely ripe, and I don't eat very many, though once I made a black spaghetti sauce. Flowers are white with yellow center.
I think it's called as Kamanchi fruit in Telugu language in Andhrapradesh & Telangana States of India. They remember Tomatoes as you told. There is a black variety also and this version will be much tastier, as told by so many. The leaves are used for cure of BP problems in Ayurveda.
I had those orange cape gooseberries before and they just tasted watery and very slightly bitter to me with a tiny tinge of tomato flavor, so like a cherry tomato.. Idk maybe ive only had underripe gooseberries.. and maybe the same for cherry tomatoes bc most people seem to like those too
There's a place in Perú called "Cajacay"... "Cape gooseberry", Physallis peruviana, another Solanacea, original from the Andes... Same as the "Guinea" pig, neither from Africa nor a pig...
If you want to understand some of these flavors... Keep eating fruits of the family. I grow Black Nightshade... Which reminds me of blueberries mixed with tomatillos...a bit. But with black nightshade, there's some possibility of toxins when eaten raw. (Research before eating any new, wild food.) I'm really psyched to try these, if there are seeds available... And it's ok with the govt. (This family can be invasive). Awesome vid! 😁
If you didn't see this one, check out the other super rare fruit that Brian sent me.

One of my local super markets started carrying cape gooseberries (also known as Golden berries) a few years back. They're delicious!
Right exactly between the flavor of peach, melon, tomato, and pineapple. Sweet, not much tartness. Cape gooseberries/groundcherries very easy to grow.

Nice one. I called the cape gooseberry early on in the video. My kid loves them. Interested getting Musho’s now.
If I see a 'j' in a Latin word, I get scared.
The word is Nahuatl: Xāltomatl (lit. "sand tomato"). Nahuatl X is pronounced like English SH, but when borrowed into Mexican Spanish and spelled J, the pronunciation is like an English H.
If a German were to say it, like Weird Explorer suggests, it would not be with the English CH as in 'CHeek' (like he says) but with the German CH as in 'loCH', as in German 'BuCH.' The sound is the same as Greek χ, Georgian ხ, Latin American Spanish j, or Mandarin, Japanese, or Korean h (as in 河, 発表, or 흥정).
for a moment i thought you were referring to ancient latin, which confused me because it doesn’t usually have the letter j.

I have heard of fruit that will turn into fermented alcohol, so that is one I suppose. Are there others? Thank you.
The brief glimpse of the leaves of this plant that you provided looks almost exactly like the leaves of the wild Ozark "Ground Cherry" that we have here in Arkansas. That is a paper shell tomato a little bigger than what you are showing, and almost identical to the commercial "Cape Gooseberry", but sweeter. They are a very delicious browse fruit here.
I figured it was probably related to the tomato the moment you showed the plant. It looks very similar.
It looks like a cape gooseberry..both the fruit and the plant. Ripe ones taste like a combo of pineapple maybe mango and tomato.
Thanks Brian!
Interesting Musho fruit, like a mini tomato but more on the fruity side, yeah I could really dig these musho balls of goodness on my corn flakes or granola! Thumbs up Weird Explorer, liked and greetings from Mexico. :)
Really enjoy the channel!
FYI Quechua its a tough one. K - e (egg sound) - chu (choose sound) - a (A-vocado sound)
I'm growing some of these this year - so far the musho seedlings resemble those of other solanaceae, in particular goldenberry and s. nigrum. The most developed of them has already started forming some flower buds, so wish me luck - each year I get my tlanoxtle to bloom as well, but they've never set any fruit 😞.
I ate musho several times in the Peruvian jungle (not in the mountains!). It would grow wild on the side of the river where there were forest clearings for gardens. The ones I saw were more yellow than red. They tasted like a sweet tomato, very mild. I never saw them for sale in the markets, only growing wild by river gardens. I imagine the work to collect them wouldn't be worth the price to sell them. I'm glad I found this video, because this is the only time outside of Peru I have heard of or seen them.
Its very similar to: Solanum sisymbriifolium wich in Uruguay and Argentina is known as "revienta caballo" or "Horse killer" very probable not because the fruit but of the thorny plant that probably mess up horse digestive system.
wishing you happiness and health, thank you for the videos
and thank brian
I loved hearing about the scientific discovery of this fruit! Great video
Looks like a tomato and gooseberry had a baby!
Edit: I posted this at like the start, hilariously I guessed his comparisons and what not perfectly, lol. 🤣
Looks like a tamarillo/cape gooseberry cross.
How has this randomly become my favourite UA-cam channel, I’m not angry about it btw I just never thought I would be... dude if you see this you’re fkin amazing and I want to eat all of these beautiful fruits
I have seen them a lot while playing in the filed as a kid . It's very common in wild here in Indian occupied Kashmir
Always the most interesting content. What a great channel. Keep it up sir!
after you bit it open it was so cute i uttered a squeak, teeny tomato!
Intriguing-
Yet highly disturbing...
Not wrong
Yet highly traumatic...
@@bruhgamer316 nice pfp
@@Omiriona I like yours also long lost brother 👋. To bad daddy shrek ran away to get some milk 😞
You should try the autumn olive, also known as the Japanese Silverleaf, the jams made from it are absolutely delicious. Very tart and drying in taste. People make wines out of it. And they are an invasive species around the world. A pain in the butt to get rid of. I quote from an MSU study “A pest of the west, and beast of the east.”
I used to have Cape gooseberrys my grandmar used to grow them there so weird but pretty good
"More gutteral like a german CH"
"Chaltomata"
...Jared. German CH is pronounced either as that back-of-the-throat noise you make when you imitate a cat hissing, or SH. (Northern and southern accent respectively)
/rant
I mean... how is he supposed to know that? Most English has a strong Germanic influence, but it's not really a language that is widely learned here. I thank you for the information, but it needn't be a rant
This would work well in those toy mini kitchen sets.
I have a lot of them in my backyard
Very neat! I ordered some seeds from Brian and an super excited for them!
I am not a big tomato fan myself. I have Oral Allergy Syndrome so eating a lot of fresh fruits/vegetables can be dangerous for me as is but a lot of berries and berry-like fruits don't affect it. With tomatoes, I just hate the texture of it unless it's diced or made in specific ways, as well as the seeds from it affecting my OAS and giving me swollen lips and itchy mouth symptoms.
But this actually looks small enough to actually eat without having a lot of effects at once. I can quantify it too if I ever come across any. Thank you for opening my eyes a bit more in the fruit world because it may give me intel as to what kinds of fruits and berries exist in the world that I can actually eat without dying from it!
That is so awesome. I am currently reading a book that is set in the Andes of Peru with some mysterious stuff happening, so this adds up! Haha. Thanks for sharing stuff like this!
Teeny tiny tomato. Cool.🖖✌
Hey Jared 💕
Have you ever tried black nightshade (Solanum nigrum and other closely related, in the U.S. Solanum americanum is widespread)? It's said to be poisonous if not ripe, and still a bit poisonous if fully ripe, though I've eaten the berries (carefully making sure they're really ripe) and they haven't made me sick. They're like black pea-sized tomatoes, but a little sweeter. Each berry I squeeze a little to make sure the seeds are not green, since the berries are black before they're entirely ripe, and I don't eat very many, though once I made a black spaghetti sauce. Flowers are white with yellow center.
Thanks. If I only watched three channels, this would be one.
Thank you good sir.
the “J” you pronounce it like “Ha” the onomatopeya so it would be something like,
Ha•L•tOH•maa•tah
Ka•ha•ka•Yen•seas
I think it's called as Kamanchi fruit in Telugu language in Andhrapradesh & Telangana States of India. They remember Tomatoes as you told. There is a black variety also and this version will be much tastier, as told by so many. The leaves are used for cure of BP problems in Ayurveda.
We have regular gooseberries. They're good.
I found golden berries to work quite well in oatmeal actually, as long as they've been halved with a knife first
I have some of these plants in my backyard
I had those orange cape gooseberries before and they just tasted watery and very slightly bitter to me with a tiny tinge of tomato flavor, so like a cherry tomato.. Idk maybe ive only had underripe gooseberries.. and maybe the same for cherry tomatoes bc most people seem to like those too
They sound amazing!
Thank you
This once took over a part of my backyard. Birds loved them but we hardly touched them.
By a "guttural CH", I think they mean to pronounce it as they would in Hebrew, such as "L'chaim".
ah now me trying to make that sound would definitely would have been quality content
Interesting fruit indeed.....
There's a place in Perú called "Cajacay"...
"Cape gooseberry", Physallis peruviana, another Solanacea, original from the Andes... Same as the "Guinea" pig, neither from Africa nor a pig...
Eat that before, many years ago. It's so rare, no body sell it anymore. I even forgot what it called here :)
Where do you live?
Indonesia :)
@@SilveryBlue1010 Is the name kersen? Search up Panama berry
If you want to understand some of these flavors... Keep eating fruits of the family.
I grow Black Nightshade... Which reminds me of blueberries mixed with tomatillos...a bit. But with black nightshade, there's some possibility of toxins when eaten raw. (Research before eating any new, wild food.)
I'm really psyched to try these, if there are seeds available... And it's ok with the govt. (This family can be invasive).
Awesome vid! 😁
And the
Witch Doctor said, "Ooh Eeh Ooh Ah Aah Halto-mata caha-cayensis!"🍊
Those would be awesome in a salad.
they are same as "makoi" plant also known as Little tomato. they are common in India. they grow everywhere in rainy season .
