One of the reasons I really like your videos is because when you’re comparing a fruit to one you’ve had in the past, you splice in pieces of the older videos showing the fruit you’re referencing. I hope that makes sense! 👊
I love it when you describe the taste of weird exotic fruits using other weirder exotic fruits. I feel like you could start making up fruit names and I would not have any idea. “It kinda reminds me of a less radioactive Pongo-Pongo with a tinge, a slight whisper of the TahookiNaNa Berry but with none of that day-old grandmother smell. Some people don’t like that it gives you violent nosebleeds but I don’t really mind it. The more I eat the more I start getting a lingering Eskimo Watermelon taste in the back of my mouth. Overall it’s alright but a bit of a letdown...”
These showed up in my local 99 Cents store today and looked interesting enough to try out. I had one raw and it wasn't great - too dry and bland. Then, after watching your video, I cooked a few and they were much better. I may try out your recipe, but I'll probably just boil the rest for a few minutes and eat them that way. Thanks for your videos!
Yeah, the smell of apples and spices on the stove is quite alluring. I don't know about Mexican haws, but in the autumn, my mom makes a big batch of crabapple jelly, and the whole house smells like spices and sweet. Delectable.
I finally found these at my local Korean mart. They reminded me of quince in a way, in that they smell wonderful but don't taste very good fresh. But I cut up a couple to get rid of the seeds, added a little water and sugar, gave them a minute in the microwave and then they were heavenly. I added the cooked ones to some fresh pineapple and grapes, and it was a lovely combination.
Weird Explorer at least that's a positive! On the topic of hawthorn, have you ever tried sea buckthorn? It's commonly refered to as hawthorn up here in Sweden
I just found these at a chain grocery store in San Diego! I’m actually here at the grocery store right now re-watching this video to see if I should buy just a couple to taste or a bunch for a whole recipe. I think i’ll buy a good amount and do the recipe you show. Looks delicious and can’t wait to try something new!
It’s called “piloncillo” which is unrefined cane sugar. You may have used a bit too much on the piloncillo. lol It’s awesome that you are adventurous with foods.
@@joelcabrera9138 almost all of the brown sugar you can buy in a supermarket is in fact not the same, its made by re-adding molasses to refined white sugar. piloncillo, or panela, or most other ethnic brown sugars are "whole" or "natural" unrefined brown sugars, and even compared to the average whole or raw brown sugar you might find in your local trader joes, theyre also minimally centrifuged, or not at all, and the molasses content is vastly higher. in comparison.
Also the reason that people sneak fruit over the border is because a lot of it is rare in US stores. Around where I live people sneak pitayas( dragon fruit) through the border because in grocery store they sell the bland dragon fruit the one that has a white or red inside and vaguely tastes sweet. However, other mexican varietes are much sweeter and taste better.
I'm from Sweden and we have a berry we call "Havtorn" which sounds really similar to Hawthorn. I thought they where relayed but seems it's very different. Havtorn is in the Hippophae genus as far as I can see, it's commonly known as sea buckthorn. The Swedish Wikipedia pages says "not to be confused with hagtorn", Hagtorn is the Swedish name for Hawthorne. They don't seem very related but it's strange that they have such similar names. Do you think they might have gotten confused in some way during earlier versions of our language? I'm gonna do some more research tomorrow, it's kinda late here now. Nice video!
Marcus Lindgren Most varieties of both do have thorny branches, which I am guessing is the origin of the names, but they are only very distantly related. Sea buckthorn is in the oleaster family. Hawthorns are quite closely related to other pomes in the rose family (pears, apples, quince, saskatoon, mountain ash...). Both the rose and oleaster families are grouped in the "nitrogen fixing clade" of dicots (along with bayberries, alders, beans...), though most members of the rose family (and no pome fruits) do not (host the bacteria which) fix nitrogen. Other than nearly all being woody (outside of legumes, which use a different type of bacteria than the others, which all use actinorhizae) dicots, these plants don't look a lot alike. The cladistics are pretty modern and based largely on chemical similarity ("molecular phylogeny"), so it had no influence on Old Norse --> Swedish. As to "hav" vs. "hag," that might be interesting but I am not a Swedish speaker. The only Swedish I picked up was from chemistry class (tung sten = heavy stone). Have fun researching the etymology!
Marcus Lindgren: It's probably related to your Hagtorn. The genus is Crataegus, I counted at least 60 species. Do you know the species of your Hagtorn? Is it this one: www.flickr.com/photos/msitua/2477513993/in/album-72157604962561754/ (Tejocote = Crataegus mexicana a.k.a. Crataegus pubescens)
I think they are legal in the US because I see them around Christmas every year and they are sold year long in some sort of liquid solution as well as frozen in grocery stores.
There is one farm in the US that distributes them, but its illegal to bring them over the border. People do it less these days, but still do it. The jars and frozen are fine, the fresh fruit can carry pests and disease
Just found you doing a search on hawthorns. I found a jar of Yaesta Hawthorn Tejocote at a little canned food store in my town, have never seen the product before let alone hawthorns, though however I had heard of them before as a fruit. I also thought the seeds were a bit annoying but hey its a fruit. My husband and I thought they tasted like a cross between a baked apple but I also though it had tones of apricot, in which you thought a bit like guava. I like the product and will and would buy it again if I see it. And if I come across the fresh fruit I will buy it and try making it as you did. I found hawthorn is very good for circulation and heart troubles and will lower blood pressure. I am in the mid 60's so if I can get help from natural products I will try them versus meds. I am subscribing to your channel and will watch your other videos. glad to have found you and this product I bought today. Have a good day, and since it is near Christmas, have a wonderful Christmas.
Welcome to the channel! Glad you found the mexican hawthorn. I have another episode about hawthorns here if you are looking for more info on some of the other types out there: ua-cam.com/video/7_AY4FX8Oi4/v-deo.html
Hey hey, taking the opportunity to mention another fruit I used to eat all the time when growing up, and that I haven't seen here on your channel. It's called hovenia dulcis, in a free translation, it would be japanese grape (uva japonesa in Portuguese).
these fruits have been in grocery store around Los Angeles for a long time already, but I didnt have any idea what they were for. lol. guess I was a little afraid of them like tomatillos. Don't know why. I have tried babaco, granadilla, naranjilla, and guanabana and guyabano(soursop). Maybe cause they were prepared for eating before I encountered them. I just ate one raw. It has the pasty texture of a pineapple guava that is not all the way ripe. I suppose it has the taste of a green pineapple guave, but no juice, just a mass of pulp. Maybe put in a blender with some juice, but it doesnt taste like much raw
99 Cent Store had some today, and they tasted like a milder version of tangerine or orange peel and had the texture of citrus pith (the spongy white part).
Pretty sure tejocotes are only used for ponche or tejocote candy, i dont know anyone who like raw tejocotes haha, i feel bad for your laptop. You can add also some dried fruits to give it a nicer flavour, like dried apples and risins
So typically, not every time, but the vast majority of the time when you speak Spanish or say a word from the Spanish language you don’t pronounce the Letter J like you would in the English language. You pronounce it with the sound more similar to the letter H. So this fruit is said more along the lines of teh-hoe-co-tay.
they’r legal in Texas at least. i bought them at my local HEB a couple years ago. I could not figure out the flavor. But I think maybe they weren’t proper ripe.
At the beginning I thought you were talking about “the coyol” images.app.goo.gl/Vr919pfNaGF3yLcr8 . As you can see it looks very similar but is not the same fruit. Coyol is the fruit of a palm and you can eat it the same way you prepared this fruit but also from the trunk you can get wine. Very appreciated in Mexico en Central America.
Mexican here, :v I absolutely hate these! they have an obscene amount of pectin in them and biting into them always leaves an unpleasant warmness and dryness in the mouth, maybe that's why they have similarities with guava and cooked apples as both of those fruits also have lots of pectin. now that I think about it, they taste and feel a bit like jellybean insides, but bland and not sweet. as far as I'm aware, Mexican Christmas ponche is not that difficult to make, and I've never seen people peeling these things to make it. key ingredients are Hibiscus flower (Jamaica), tejocote, yellow guava, cinnamon, piloncillo (those brown sugar cones), sugarcane, and I've seen some people put raisins and apples in it? but not always, all together is a really nice and yummy drink as long as you don't catch and directly bite into a tejocote 😅
I saw piles of them at the market in Hermosillo. They looked like they should be cooked. Just passing through and so didn't try. I hope i see this fruit again.
The main danger of fruit legging tejocote is the probability of introducing diseases and pests to crab apples native to the U.S. I'd rather not have species here become endangered or go extinct to uphold a tradition, it's a very selfish thing to do. I appreciate that you didn't get any here in the U.S. Jared.
Here here indeed very selfish. Crab trees can be murder on your allergies when in bloom but they are beautiful native trees should be left the hell alone. Lol I just worked up talking about invasive species, don't even get me going about Flying Asian Carp.
I know about flying asian carps, very unfortunate issues like these are tragedies, One invasive species that rely ruffles my jimmies are emerald ash borers.
The items transported must be treated in a way to prevent spread of invasive species and diseases, Crates are made to transport goods, now a days get sprayed & treated to prevent further problems, It's to little to late for some species, but at least something is being done. I take the position that the best option is to directly add resistances to vulnerable species to save them, whether anyone likes genetic engineering or not, it's not fair to let plant species as well as the other species and niches that depend on them be destroyed if there is a way to save them.
I’ve eaten tecojote in Mexico. I thought it tasted something like apricot or plum (or maybe loquat fruit). But I’ve never heard that it’s banned in the U.S. why do people need to smuggle it in?
so these are completely illegal to import, but not to grow, and in recent years domestic production has finally begun to expand to cater to the latino market in the states!
Whoops, I flip-flopped em; the point is, the "j" sounds like "h"
3 роки тому
I have tried those in actual Mexico (I live there) and they taste like garbage, so I'm genuinelly surprised you found those with good taste to me it tasted like an apple with no sugar, but quite astringent
Check out my Mexican Hawthorn article on Atlas Obscura: www.atlasobscura.com/foods/tejocote-mexican-hawthorn
I know I’m late but the pronunciation of the fruit is “tecohote” the j in Spanish usually sounds like the letter H in English

Underrated comment lmao
I know what you mean, sometimes I feel the same way.

Yeah no good raw. I'd at least chuck some sugar in there too.
Ponche is delicious! You should definitely make it when you get back home.
Yeah, the smell of apples and spices on the stove is quite alluring. I don't know about Mexican haws, but in the autumn, my mom makes a big batch of crabapple jelly, and the whole house smells like spices and sweet. Delectable.
“I don’t want to get mixed up with that...uh, too much!” 😂
My grandma always makes ponché at Christmas it’s amazing
I finally found these at my local Korean mart. They reminded me of quince in a way, in that they smell wonderful but don't taste very good fresh. But I cut up a couple to get rid of the seeds, added a little water and sugar, gave them a minute in the microwave and then they were heavenly. I added the cooked ones to some fresh pineapple and grapes, and it was a lovely combination.
Ah sorry about the laptop, those videos are now lost media
Thankfully I shouldn't have a hard time finding the fruit again, but man what a drag
Weird Explorer at least that's a positive!
On the topic of hawthorn, have you ever tried sea buckthorn? It's commonly refered to as hawthorn up here in Sweden
Wow! These grow in my street and i was trying to find info on them. Love it when your videos do that with fruits i see here everyday
Thanks for helping me identify this fruit, Jared! I appreciate that majorly, and I'll be trying this myself tomorrow if I get the chance!
This is the best recruitment video for air b&b ever! Rent you house and famous people will eat fruit in it!
I just found these at a chain grocery store in San Diego! I’m actually here at the grocery store right now re-watching this video to see if I should buy just a couple to taste or a bunch for a whole recipe. I think i’ll buy a good amount and do the recipe you show. Looks delicious and can’t wait to try something new!
Nice find! Definitely buy enough to do something with them. Either what I did or look up a recipe for Ponche. Enjoy!
that sugar cone is called piloncillo
I tend to get the name of this fruit, tejocote, confused with “tecolote,” which in Mexico is one of the words for “owl.”
te-ho-coh-te
Such an amazing fruit for candying. They pair wonderful with a hot cup of coffee. The texture is that of a dense bread pudding.
I bought them in my neighborhood Walmart here in Texas. So they should be in New York sometime soon as a Fall staple.
It’s called “piloncillo” which is unrefined cane sugar. You may have used a bit too much on the piloncillo. lol It’s awesome that you are adventurous with foods.
Brown sugar is the same thing

Just picked up some of these in Miami. They have an awesome aroma to them and yeah I agree with the fruit being reminiscent of jujubee.
love this channel !learn new things every day

5:05 Like little potatoes, the skins soften and become easier to peel away.

Next time you come to Mexico try some tunas, and mamey and some tepache

I found some in jars at Save-A-Lot. They also had nance cherries, which I did not get, lol
Stink-eye from local guy at 0:01 is priceless.

Say it with me "dull-say day tay-ho-ko-tay"
Just bought these at my local grocery store here in houston!
nice find!
Can you publish a map of places to find exotic fruits in the city? Or maybe do video of your exotic fruit spots?
Mexicans usually grate the pilloncillo (sugar cone) or scrape pieces from it with a knife when the add it to some thing like your “dulce.”
I know this video is 2 years old, but I just bought some at the 99 cents only store. Which is how I found your video, so they are definitely legal. 😁
I just bought some from Food 4 Less in California!
Hey hey, taking the opportunity to mention another fruit I used to eat all the time when growing up, and that I haven't seen here on your channel. It's called hovenia dulcis, in a free translation, it would be japanese grape (uva japonesa in Portuguese).
I'd love to try that one, haven't found it yet
Lol. I think you're supposed to break off pieces from the sugar cone, not just chuck the whole thing in.
He probably knows that but if its the right amount, why bother breaking it
I would be so upset if I got something like that stolen from me. I wish you the best of luck with your fruity voyage, friend!
these fruits have been in grocery store around Los Angeles for a long time already, but I didnt have any idea what they were for. lol. guess I was a little afraid of them like tomatillos. Don't know why. I have tried babaco, granadilla, naranjilla, and guanabana and guyabano(soursop). Maybe cause they were prepared for eating before I encountered them.

What was the guanabana like? Because guanabana and guyabano are both the same fruit (soursop)
you have to try pisang tongkat langit, it's a weird looking banana but good! (the way the fruits are growing from the tree are odd too!)
Neat! Where do those grow?
its from maluku, indonesia you can find them around mardika market (pasar mardika) in ambon city
99 Cent Store had some today, and they tasted like a milder version of tangerine or orange peel and had the texture of citrus pith (the spongy white part).
I’ve always wondered what things we eat here in New Mexico that no one else eats beyond green n red Chile
I'm sorry you had your laptop stolen. May those criminals be caught soon!
Andrea Ariza It was stolen from the conveyor belt going through TSA. all those cameras and security guards watching and nobody could do anything. :/
I actually found it in Houston, TX in a local mexican style store.
They have a pasty texture and are slightly sweet with a faint perfume aroma. Very, very similar ro rose hips.
Oh I love fejoa (feijoa).
Mexican Hawthorn Apples seems to be legal now to import since 2015.
Pretty sure tejocotes are only used for ponche or tejocote candy, i dont know anyone who like raw tejocotes haha, i feel bad for your laptop. You can add also some dried fruits to give it a nicer flavour, like dried apples and risins
ooooo! tasty. sorry about your laptop!!! i wish to eat the hawthorn
Cool!
I have this fruit plant in my father s house ,it's sweet and sour
you live in new york? i live here and I've been looking for cherimoya, which is a peruvian fruit! if you know where to find it pls lemme know
I've seen them at EATaly and at Western Beef Supermarket. Not sure if they are in season now, but you might get lucky!
Weird Explorer thanks so much for replying! will check it put
So typically, not every time, but the vast majority of the time when you speak Spanish or say a word from the Spanish language you don’t pronounce the Letter J like you would in the English language. You pronounce it with the sound more similar to the letter H. So this fruit is said more along the lines of teh-hoe-co-tay.
Put them in bowl of salt water to prevent browning the fruits while you cut them.
We have in Temple, Texas
they’r legal in Texas at least. i bought them at my local HEB a couple years ago. I could not figure out the flavor. But I think maybe they weren’t proper ripe.
I think this is kul,tha Indian jujube ,in Kolkata we dry this and make chatni or achar in this , this called ber in order parts in India
At the beginning I thought you were talking about “the coyol” images.app.goo.gl/Vr919pfNaGF3yLcr8 . As you can see it looks very similar but is not the same fruit.
Coyol is the fruit of a palm and you can eat it the same way you prepared this fruit but also from the trunk you can get wine.
Very appreciated in Mexico en Central America.
He had that in Mexico too
The KLUNK of the piloncillo into the pan . . .
Sucks that you lost your laptop, man.
Tejocotes are legal, and also are grown all over the south west
Thanks. It's one thing to taste the fruit, but show how it's used.
Mexican here, :v
I absolutely hate these! they have an obscene amount of pectin in them and biting into them always leaves an unpleasant warmness and dryness in the mouth, maybe that's why they have similarities with guava and cooked apples as both of those fruits also have lots of pectin. now that I think about it, they taste and feel a bit like jellybean insides, but bland and not sweet.

Found these at a H-E-B in Texas... so I’m assuming they aren’t illegal anymore 🤔
Last I heard, there is a farm that grows and distributes them in the US, but still does get fruit legged because of the cost.
I just found these also in my local 99 cent store for $1.99 for 1 or 2 lb. Little bag of them.
Oh I need to know where you live and found them. I’m in Jersey.. the reason it’s probably smuggled is because it’s used for weight loss... just FYI
I saw piles of them at the market in Hermosillo. They looked like they should be cooked. Just passing through and so didn't try. I hope i see this fruit again.
You're such a cute geek, you remind me of Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1💖💖💖
The main danger of fruit legging tejocote is the probability of introducing diseases and pests to crab apples native to the U.S. I'd rather not have species here become endangered or go extinct to uphold a tradition, it's a very selfish thing to do. I appreciate that you didn't get any here in the U.S. Jared.
Here here indeed very selfish. Crab trees can be murder on your allergies when in bloom but they are beautiful native trees should be left the hell alone. Lol I just worked up talking about invasive species, don't even get me going about Flying Asian Carp.
I know about flying asian carps, very unfortunate issues like these are tragedies, One invasive species that rely ruffles my jimmies are emerald ash borers.
just awful! Everything should have to pass through some type of eco-friendly raid 😂 to stop this
The items transported must be treated in a way to prevent spread of invasive species and diseases, Crates are made to transport goods, now a days get sprayed & treated to prevent further problems, It's to little to late for some species, but at least something is being done. I take the position that the best option is to directly add resistances to vulnerable species to save them, whether anyone likes genetic engineering or not, it's not fair to let plant species as well as the other species and niches that depend on them be destroyed if there is a way to save them.
Thankfully these days there is a source of Mexican Hawthorn in CA, so I believe the amount of smuggling has reduced in recent years
I’ve eaten tecojote in Mexico. I thought it tasted something like apricot or plum (or maybe loquat fruit). But I’ve never heard that it’s banned in the U.S. why do people need to smuggle it in?
Tejocote, that is.
Is that a Residents tshirt?
Good catch. Yep its the Duck Stab album cover
hehe, could only see part of it but it looked like a duck being stabbed
gotta spot the rot on that fruit
would anyone know if we can eat this fruit on a ketogenic diet?
The "J" makes an "H" sound man, think of it as "TeHoCohTeh", EZ :D
Spanish lesson, although I could be very wrong, the j sounds like an h...in case you did not know
I find these in my local walmart
In the Spanish, the j is pronounced how the h is pronounced in English
Everything it's legal in the usa
so these are completely illegal to import, but not to grow, and in recent years domestic production has finally begun to expand to cater to the latino market in the states!
thx but i gonna stick to my local crataegus monogyna ... mmhmm tastless mealy goodness
Go to Guatemala
Mexican uses j like an h to help u pronounce it
algorithm comment
I find all of these fruit interesting but everything you compare it to are still foreign to me 🤦🏾♂️
Te-ko-HO-te, not JOH-te
Whoops, I flip-flopped em; the point is, the "j" sounds like "h"
I have tried those in actual Mexico (I live there) and they taste like garbage, so I'm genuinelly surprised you found those with good taste
to me it tasted like an apple with no sugar, but quite astringent
Nevermimd you have it here
I’m sure the fruit is legal, importing the fruit is whats illegal
You don’t know
Dont peel the skin. Eat it with the skin.
wtb missing weird fruit sd card, have 3m gold pieces to trade for em, hmu world 84 ge

You do realize you just implicated yourself in a possible fruit smuggling operation that will be on the net forever!
He clearly stated he was still in Mexico
mister e I didnt hear that part, it was really a joke anyway. Fruit smuggling? Ha Ha
Definitely not like guava
Also, nice attempts at saying a spanish name! The J in spanish is pronounced as a H! Not to worry, its a common mistake
Do me a solid and yknow take some seeds with you and star growing tejocote illegally.......if you catch my drift
