How would you use the Australian Round Lime?
Do u think mangosteen that grows in Japan and mangosteen that grows in Thailand tastes different?
Plz reply!
I'd add it to bread dough with dill. Do you think that you would enjoy my lime dill dough?
@@v17z. I never heard of mangosteens growing in Japan. Probably from Thailand anyway
This would definitely be in my fried rice
Putting an entire finger lime in a batch of rice is really good. Probably would be good with the round lime too.
So the finger lime has round pulp
And the round lime has finger pulp.
Got it :)
lol so true, life makes zero sense.
@@horizonwalker2290 @Horizon Walker shows stuff that humans have made via selective breeding, your reaction: life doesn't make sense! How does this happen!?"
The fact that you don't realize how astoundingly dumb your comment is really is hillarious.
@@MuscarV2 lol ok cheesy
@@MuscarV2 so many ppl are just being unnecessarily super bitchy on here to just normal ass comments, i don't understand why - i mean it's the norm for youtube comments so expected but these bitchy sardonic replies to such basic non offensive comments
@@baumi8125 it's so annoying how snarky and bitchy these people can get with literally no provocation. like all they did was make a joke?
They're great in a tropical fruit salad. Edit: Stir the little globules through the salad.
Stir a fruit salad? Thanks for the tip. Never would have thought to do that.
good idea, the texture would work well in a fruit salad
You look exactly how someone who knows a lot about Australian fruit would look like
Caviar lime moment
*Mouth watering*
the fruit that turns your fingers into magnets for cat hair
DIY cat hairbrush
Indeed
how could you possibly neglect clarifying whether or not this is bergamot, I see this as a gross oversight...
(love the videos lately, excited to see the big project your working on)
Oh look... Someone with no content or subscribers did an internet search and now they're a condescending pomologist.
@@mattmarzula it was a joke referring to a recent video...
@@mattmarzula you must be fun at parties😐
@@mattmarzula Oh, the irony…
@@mattmarzula i see a new one
"what are you doing for the fourth?" Me : watching a guy eat strange limes..."
Round Lime: Nature's Pop Rocks
The mandarin orange we grow in our backyard's little "pulplettes" are barely held together inside the wedge membrane. Peak enjoyment.
I bet caviar lime would be great in salsa
Yes! 👌🏽
Or sprinkled on a salad...
Oooh, that sounds tasty. Salsa with little explosions of pure lime flavor.
I imagine these would be amazing on tacos
BTW the citrus chemical you're thinking of is called limonene, as far as I know it is extracted as a by-product of juice production.
thank you!
Oh yeah! It's a terpene. I didn't even think of that when he said it
Correct our local juice co used to make it, it’s extremely expensive
When I was in Fiji as a kid my mom would make me some of these with a little sugar and serve very cold. I loved it.
man, the zest on that round lime! it's *gorgeous*, so pretty and green and tasty looking. These both sound super interesting! For some reason, the way that the round lime popped out in individual pulps made me want to eat it real, real bad, and I gotta tell you, that's the first time I've ever wanted to eat a straight-up lime, lmao!
So the finger lime has round pulp and the round lime has finger shaped pulp?
Straya mate, it's how we roll
Did you just straight up copy my comment? Lol
@@ApexHerbivore Did you just copy my comment?
@@ApexHerbivore I did see your comment, but only after we both got a heart. I couldn't tell you which came first but you're welcome to the title if it matters to you.
@@Howtard not bothered about some fictitious title, just find it pathetic when people see a popular comment and copy it almost word for word. Whatever floats your boat though.
Thanks to you and wanderlust nursery, I'm now growing my own garden of Beef&Onion Toona Sinensis, Tasmanian Apple Berry, Che, Strawberry Gauva, Passfionfruit and Cherimoya!
Hopefully they grow up well and produce lots of fruits! Thanks
Also known as a Gympie (G-im-py) lime. Unripe fruit tend to be strickier then ripe (pale green/greeny yellow).
Another Australian citrus you should try, if you can get a hold of, is "Desert Lime" Citrus glauca. One of our most heat, cold & drought tolerant citrus. Roughly the size of a grape, with intense flavour. Not as sour as round or finger, but far more flavour. Normally an ingredient, but can be eaten whole like a cumquat.
sounds good!
Would you ship the fruit
@mflbikes1870 They are fairly fragile as a citrus fruit. Have seen them in markets or even speciality shops, but would not be found in large supermarkets.
I couldn't record a video for you in time but last year I went to a ranch of a family friend (I live in Brazil) and there I found a citrus fruit that was half of the size of a lime and shaped like a long egg; green peel and slightly orange on the inside and tasted pretty sweet, and if you cut it in half and squeezed it the whole fruit part would pop off cleanly.
It only happens when they're very ripe so I couldn't get a lot of them while I was there.
The only video on my UA-cam channel was taken from that ranch
Love the one-eye-stuck-shut-squinty-sour face you make when you eat a lime haha.
AUSTRALIA-- if it walks, crawls or flies -- it may try to kill you. Now the exploding fruit is getting in on the act. Lol
Mate I can't wait till you can come to NZ. Kawakawa, makamaka, mingimingi, tawapou, taraire, kotukutuku, etc etc... You'll love it!
I can't fukin find these here, do you just forage?
@@farialebowski2459 Yep. Northland bush.
Man I've always wanted to visit NZ but wow, noow I reaaally want to and I have no idea what those things are.
Can you do a review of
Trichosanthes Pilosa - Japanese Snake Gourd.
It's shape is like an egg.
Morus Cathayana - Hua Sang.
It's a mulberry and it's available in China, Japan and Korea.
Y'know what. You're so genuinely interested in unusual fruit, I'mma finally subscribe.
I’m Australian. Why don’t I see these in my own house! Going to buy some plants now !
You can buy them at bunnings from time to time, same with the finger lime varieties.
Daleys nursery sell them. Keep the frost off and don't over water
I’ve got the red centre round lime - it’s red! And red finger lime. They do best in pots for me.
@@simonrival1613 only finger lines are found in Bunnings. I got my Citrus australis from a nursery that specialises in native plants
They are kinda like inverted finger limes; round on the outside, long in the inside. Cool!
0:04 ok i was caught off guard by that noise.
same. i thought something was burning
“its sticky” -weird explorer 2021
stop
That's so awesome Wanderlust sponsored you with a discount code! These actually look really good and interesting to grow!
They call it Gympie lime here in QLD. It's an Australian native. Got one in my yard. Didn't know it was called round lime. I find it very sour and not to enjoyable out of hand. Stuffed inside roasted fish is wicked
Dooja lime is another name given to this type of lime and scientifical name is microcitrus australis
weird fruit exploder
💥🍍💥
Dang. I wish oranges and lemons had this much pulp!
Hahaha, that head to head lime smash got me laughing good.
You should make a series where you go to people's yards all over the world checking their home grown fruit
I'm always amazed by how in depth you review your fruits. I've been hooked since I saw my first video of yours on the ice cream bean.
same!! his videos always have a feel-good vibe to them and are very calming too. it's a nice little channel that i wish had more exposure but the yt algorithm isn't nice to everyone ig
I'm a fan of it too. I love how he always has a little review on where it's from and what it's usually natively used for.
@@StonedtotheBones13 I'm amazed by how much detail and comparisons he puts in. I always end up feeling like I actually tried the fruit with him. Top notch content here in every aspect of what he does🙂
Did you know you can actually eat polk berries? (After boiling it a few times of course.) I would love to see you make a ketchup out of it! It probably wouldn't be good but it would certainly be interesting.
Do you mean poke berries? I know the leaves of the poke plant are edible after boiling several times. I have never heard that the berries being edible. Only heard that they were poisonous. I don't think the berries would hold up to being boiled one time, much less more than once. They would turn to mush in the first boiling. Any berry would.
I think I bought one of these unintentionally once and thought I just had a crappy not very juicy lime (was just for a drink) haha
those finger limes you showed in the beginning, are pretty good in a salad. Take it u could use the round lime for the same thing
Ahh exploding fruit on the 4th of July. I'd ask if that was a coincidence but knowing the dry sense of humor you show on camera I think I know the answer. Lol
Total coincidence! I honestly forgot it was the fourth of July.
I don't usually celebrate holidays, as an entertainer I usually have to work anyways, so I don't make plans.
@@WeirdExplorer Do you perform regularly around the NYC area, i.e., the burlesques, Coney, etc?
I only know this fruit as bergamot
every citrus fruit that ever was and will be shall be called bergamot
Bergamot properly is a sour orange hybrid with and especially fragrant peel, not at all like this.
@@erikjohnson9223 it's a joke from a recent video
I love the finger lime because it has that great lime taste but it can be eaten plain, it isn't like too acidic/powerful like a normal line. they are just delicious
Good to see you back!
good to be back :)
@@WeirdExplorer from what?
Just when I thought you had everything b4 lol
Watching you eats that made my mouth water like I was eating it
I've always found both the finger lime and the round lime to be good, in a small amount, on top of sushi. Place near me used to do them shaped like a little translucent flower.
The finger limes have really varied flavors depending on ripeness. They are grown in California now, so North Americans can access them more readily.
Ayyy welcome back
Great video! Just thought I'd mention that in Australia we use the word 'indigenous' and not 'native' when referring to aboriginal and Torres strait Islander people 😊
I encourage you to try as much bush-tucker as possible. It changes all over Australia!
Soap has Limonene in it often.
its almost like a crystal structure inside it
Without having watched the finger lime videos... did you get all the colour variations? They all taste a bit different.
I think I just did a green one. I'll have to do a side by side some day
@@WeirdExplorer there's three varieties, the green, a pink one and I've seen the yellow ones before as well, you should definitely make a trip to Australia for some of the wild bush fruit we have here.
We have a native passionfruit that grows like a weed all over the place, it is all passionfruit flavour and sweetness but zero sourness.
@@simonrival1613 is it perhaps passiflora herbertiana? some sources describe it as sweet and edible but others describe it as bitter and inedible
@@somethinginthewalls388 I've never seen that one in the wild. After googling it, it's passiflora foetida and it's not even native to Australia. My mind is blown.
@@simonrival1613 Maybe that is why it grows like a weed.
Hey I love your videos!
thanks!
Amazing, this is apparently native to the area I live and I'd never heard of it.
my mouth watered this entire video
Heard about your possible trip to Iceland, happy and excited for you! Also, very interesting video, never heard of the Australian round lime.
Finger lime looks like a chilly
It's in my country so I wonder if I could find one one day like at a shop or somewhere else.
Thank you for this video ! 😊🌻
You should ask @smartereveryday to collaborate on a slowmo shoot of those limes bursting out.
I live in Brisbane and these, as well as finger limes are native to here. We have both in the bushland near home.
The finger lime pulp would go well with some granita
Nature: ~makes it to Australia~ I've made hella limes up to this point. Time to switch it up. *gives the round lime lanky exploding pulp* .. *gives the lanky lime small spherical pulp* ....Yeah. 😎
*pop* finger lime vibes
This lime has not juice so don't be surprised : it' a perfect lime for marmelade, cocktail, chutney because his skin aroma is a mix of green lime and granny apple : the inside has an acid/electrical taste.
Hoping that'll help you
Hi..................... 🔴 ALERT 🔴 PLEASE DON'T OVERLOOK THIS. It's a jackfruit seeds recipe . Jackfruit seed french fries . 1. First, sundry the jackpot seeds until you can separate the skin, completely dried but not so much that you cannot cut it . 2. Cut it horizontally 4 to 6 pieces. 3. Boil it until fork tender, add salt up to taste. 4. Let them dry a little or store in fridge for later uses. 5. Find them until Golden brown, add salt and pepper to taste. 6. Now, Bon appetit.............
What if someone could produce a hybrid between the Finger Lime and the Round Lime? I wonder what that would taste like.
There is a hybrid of the two, it's called the Sydney hybrid lime. No clue what it tastes like though sorry
I wish i had a greenhouse dedicated to wanderlust nursery fruit
....StagHorn Sumac is starting to ripen rignt now. I don't recall a video of that local fruit.
The squeezes in this video are sooo satisfying.
I'm confused, I recently had this exact fruit but I live in Europe, my mom had bought it at the same time with a huge pomelo at the fruit shop. I wouldn't assume this to be an export product though? Is there a similar citrus fruit to this one that grows in Europe by any chance?
Could be grown locally? Didn't watch the video yet so who knows
@@DoctorWhoNow01 Yes maybe but from what I've found these trees are rarely planted in Europe in general. The thing that is the most odd to me is that the lime was identical to this one in texture, the way it pops out and it's really intense sourness but my mom didn't mention it was some sort of special Australian lime. But maybe the fruit shop had been getting some special citrus fruits that week because pomelo aren't all that commonly sold here either.
@@eev14 very interesting and i'm kinda jelly of you lol. where i live there are almost no exotic or rare citruses, or rare fruits in general. the most we get is a pomelo which is cool but it would be cooler if there was more variety :/
No Citrus is native to Europe, but many can be grown in the warmer areas (low altitude Greece, southern Italy, Spain...) if there is demand. Key/Mexican limes and limequats look similar also, and are well known in the USA so perhaps there is likewise existing demand and supply in Europe (though lemons do better in Mediterranean climates and limes in humid subtropical ones). England might even have specific trade agreements with its former colony (Australia) as well, particularly since there is no local Citrus industry there to protect with strict agricultural quarantines like in the USA and other Citrus producers.
@@erikjohnson9223 Not native perhaps but Spain has been the main supplier of Oranges in Europe for 800 years, same goes for Italy and lemons of course. But this lime fruit in particular is obviously not commonly produced here, I guess it must have been an import product then.
Also as a little info: Not a lot of our trade comes through England, the main port in Europe is Rotterdam in the Netherlands so we have direct import mostly and since Brexit trade agreements with England are not exactly sturdy.
Interesting, Jared.
It looks like Calamansi but it's not as juicy as calamansi.
tastes a bit like calamansi too
George Costanza: "Pulp can move, baby!"
Idk if I’ve commented this before but your videos are so relaxing
Commonly used in Australian /Asian fusion cuisine and both are great in Gin or Vodka based drinks.
That Round Lime you tried may not have been quite ripe, it's a bit small for Round Limes and it should be juicier than that.
Try the Australian desert lime, for arid region citrus
Have either of these australian citruses been hybridized with other citrus fruits? I see a lot of potential there.
Yes they have 🙂 There are at least three that the CSIRO developed some years back. Australian Sunrise and Australian Blood are the fingerlime hybrids, and there is another that goes by Australian Desert that I don't think is a hybrid so much as a commercial variety of a native desert lime, which I think might be different again.
Lmaoo, loved the smol collision of citrii when u said “head to head”
Edit: Would use the round boy on a fish, or perhaps a fishy mushroom, maybe in soup
Love all the content sir..who thought it would be so cool to learn about random fruits lol..this stuff never disappoints
Great video as always! I love finger limes and had never heard of the round lime before.
The round lime, I’m pretty sure is rare outside of Australia i’m pretty sure I know it’s a nursery in Brisbane that has them and I also have one
Ahaha! The lime fled!
I've had a dry grapefruit or orange pop the pulp capsules out like that. It didn't taste very good.
I am jealous of you, you ate a lot of fruit from all around the world and i wanted to do that but i can't
Compensating much?
Poor?
@@MaoRatto nope,because of alergic,idk whats wrong with me but i can't eat apple,banana,grapes,pear,orange,cantaloupe,lemon,and most fruit on the store all i can eat safely is watermelon,idk why that happend my doctor said he don't know probably because some enzym or fluid inside of it i can't even eat pottatoes if it wasn't dried or thinly cut and fried
@@mattmarzula and this too
@@MaoRatto yeah seriously. I've seen plenty of tramps picking fruit off of trees and bushes along the roadside and railroad tracks. This guy has the internet and can't manage his life's ambitions better than a hobo? Gimme a break. What's he going to do now, fire back with how he's crippled or living in a bubble with no immunities? He could see the world for $500. "FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAS!!!"
I have been meaning to try and grow a finger lime tree for awhile! This has reminded me to actually order some! I’m totally going to order this as well now!
I'd want both finger lime and round lime in ice water with a touch of salt and sugar chilled well on these hot days .
Dry ASF, where's the juice 😂🤣😂
One of my finger lime trees taste like a mix of orange and lime and is sweet like an orange it's so nice I have two more. One is flowing now.
These are great when candied
Ohh! I see you are wearing your merch!!! Looks very nice! 😎
Christopher Kimbell from America's Test Kitchen was testing bottled lemon juice. They slipped in some fresh squeezed lemons, and he said, "Oh, this is horrible. It taste like furniture polish. " I think he spit it out. I have the same problem with mint. It smells like toilet bowl cleaner to me.
This would be so great for kava drinks!
You have try sunrise limes! They are the sweetest Aussie fruit I’ve ever had
I really like them, although they aren't technically truly Australian fruits - it's a finger lime hybridised with a mandarin orange.
ordering one now
jeez dude, you stabbed that cutting board so hard it almost screamed💀💀
That's so cool, i'd love to have an orange or pomelo version of this that you can scoop and eat with a spoon lol.
that would be pretty boss
MVP putting the content we clicked for in the beginning
everyone: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade
the lemons life gave me: 0:04
You should do a video on all the odd tomato varieties like the lemon boy tomato, the great white tomato, or the pink Lady tomato :) there are so many more but those are a variety I am growing currently and would love to see your opinion and thoughts on these interesting fruits
Can’t wait till you reach a million subs!
Thank you
