@@nicosfutureson4450 I don't mean to grow them. I mean where can you buy them in New York? And I answered my own question in my head shortly after I posted that, either. Maybe you get lucky at a whole foods, or New York has lots of truck stands with guys selling sugar, cane and coconuts and all kinds of what I presume are exotic tropical fruit out of the back of the truck. If they don't have guavas or particularly pineapple guavas there, they probably don't really exist.
Yep got two feijoa trees in my backyard in NZ, one male one female. During spring the bees harvest pollen from one and pollinate the other which bears feijoas fruit in summer. Lovely taste, great as it is or can be made into jam, wine or fruit salad.
Yay a fellow kiwi! Feijoas are amazing - I have several trees in my front yard in the South Island of NZ. Got several this year that were bigger than my fist!
@@ednamode2334 I should have said that I have a Feijoa tree in my front yard. I do have other tree's, like plums, and a couple of wattle trees etc, and I love trees too
your description of this flavor - between an apple & strawberry, like a pineapple but not as acidic - makes it sound incredible lol. That’s maybe the ultimate fruit combo
Never even heard of them let alone seen them. They sound incredible & I'd love to try them, but the chances of me finding them here in Scotland are slim to none!
@@henriqueprado9205 Fair enough. But more water = bigger juicier fruits. Just because something has adapted to live with a deficit doesn't mean it can't adapt and benefit from a surplus.
I’ve not seen those in the States but if I do, will try them. There are so many fruits and vegetables from around the world that are delicious. Thanks for introducing them to us.
You should make pancit! It’s a simple Filipino dish but when it’s made right it’s out of this world. Plus, everyone makes it with their own twist and we all would love to see yours
OMG yes!! We always had family or neighbors bring some over from thier trees. Started making feijoa crumble and feijoa bread with all the excess...amazing!!!
Yep Chef! In Colombia is quite common fruit. Is cropped in cold weather and heights over 2000 m..In some areas is usually blend feijoa, milk and sugar.. it taste delicious!
I love feijoas! We have 10 trees in our backyard here in Melbourne. I know about them because my hubby is a tree surgeon and learnt alot over the years.❤ I love having them straight like that but also make fizzy with the skins and apple and feijoa crumble!
Tripped me out so hard when I moved to Aus and nobody knew what feijoas were lol I didn’t want to be that kiwi that constantly goes on about how food is so much better back in NZ but Aussies definitely need to get on to feijoas. They’re so good.
Best memories as a kid was just smashing these from ppls trees on the walk home from school. There was a giant tree at the local park we would always raid when we were struggling for Kai
I grew up in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and ate these all the way home from school. Every 2nd house seemed to have them in the front yard, so we were full by the time we got home. So delicious and sweet!
Love these videos mate! I have a request, being that it’s winter in aus and one of my fondest memories is when mum used to make cassoulet! Dads a French immigrant and this dish is near and dear to my heart. Would love to see your take. Cheers bro, keep cooking!
Proudly I have one of those trees in my backyard and I live in Los Angeles California they are delicious and the flowers are beautiful and also edible and sweet white pedals
First time I saw one of these as a Queenslander was in Tasmania, had a few in the yard of a house we rented in Gladstone (tiny lil Tassie town) as well as rhubarb and tiny little guavas not much bigger than a pea. Made some interesting jams when theyd fruit
We have a lot of these growing in backyards and front yards in Los Angeles.. never knew what they were called but we pick them as kids and eat them. They are delicious.
yesssssssss i love feijoas! i never knew they were from south america i thought they were native to NZ. Its super hard to describe the distinct taste but their so sos sosososo yummy. I would describe them tasting like a guava x passionfruit x lychee x pear ?
@@TJXD There would still be some fruits and roots I've never tried in Aus. Throughout Asia and Africa there is still fruits and vegetables that no one has tried besides people from very small villages, just things that have never been grown anywhere but tiny spot so no one knows they exist.
I've never seen these. I live in Alabama and the most exotic fruit I managed to get were Rambutans. They're delicious. If I eat apple, strawberry and pineapple together, maybe I can get an idea of how the feijoa tastes.
I got some cuttings from my nana that we've put in rooting solution then planted in pots for the winter - then my husband found 2 clearance plants - so we may end up with 8 fejoa plants! My 3 kids are only going to eat more and more over the next few years, so no problem with extra food here :)
I absolutely loved the gorgeous and delicious feijoas I used to collect from the ground under their hedges lining the road on my bycicle ride to work in Napier, NZ. But I absolutely regretted buying the stale, both immature and overaged tiny so-called feijoas flewn in from Brazil which I bought at the renowned Viktualienmarkt in Munich, Germany. They need to be fresh and local. Plant them in every wine climate.
I Discovered them in Te puke caravan Park whilst on a working holiday in NZ they use to fall off onto the top of the caravan nice and ripe & Delicious 😋 love your work mate
I found one of these plants as a kid walking around the bush, unfortunately as an adult when I went back could never find them again. Glad to know what they are now.
I've never seen these Mr. Andy. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
Same. I've seen so many fruits but there will always be another one that i didn't know existed
I tried these last year here in Montenegro, but I wasn't aware that they exist before that :) They're tasty
They are my all time favourite fruit ever.
We Kiwi's love them
Remember standing in my aunt's back yard near Auckland as a kid, eating feijoas right off the tree. Yum.
Oh, so That’s what a feijoa is. We call them pineapple guavas and those really pretty trees grow well here in California. Love them!!
Any idea where they can be gotten in New York?
@@nichevo1 no where snow kills those trees and old ones are nasty.

I had a tree on my street I grew up on and me and my friends would them in season they are very tasty. California ❤️☺️
Lucky you to be at home in California. I hope I can visit in someday.

Don’t forget feijoa cake bro…oh and crumble 🤤
Can you make a pie out of them?
@@Fadingroses19 yes! Feijoa is super versatile, they make a great compote so they are well suited to pies and crumbles
Yay a fellow kiwi! Feijoas are amazing - I have several trees in my front yard in the South Island of NZ. Got several this year that were bigger than my fist!

Hi, Dunedin here. Would love to see some Cheese Rolls, Chop Suey Patties and Deep Fried Onion Sausages cooked up. Sweet as 😃
Please do more of these!! There are lots of fruits and veggies at our local farmers market we have no clue about!!! You are awesome!!
You should check out the channel weird explorer. If you are interested in fruits. Really good channel and he travels the world and eats fruits.
I'm in Australia and I've had a tree in my front yard, since the 70's, absolutely love them.
I love trees too

😆😆😆
Can u name that tree plz.
@@huynhtran7140 it's a Feijoa tree
The enjoyment I get that Andy is enjoying that fruit and giving a little history and childhood story is fantastic! Thank you for sharing! 😁🥰
Very tasty. Very good flavor. VERY ard to find them.Last week I bought 2 lb for $20.
Soooo good.
Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us some things. Your passion for food just comes out and makes watching you and your wife so fun.
We need a fridge tour! i’m so curious how packed with cool ingredients it is
Yes!!! Kiwi here too :) it's my favourite fruit! I recently tried a pineapple feijoa. Soo good!!
This fruit is so delicious 😋 and the scent... 🤤🤤🤤
Interesting! Thank you for teaching.
Andy, you are lovely, I love your lack of chef-y ego... keep up the great work, it is most appreciated.
Still waiting on my hangi chef!!!
I have a tree in Queensland Australia love it.
@@yvonnepearson8748 a Hangi tree?
@@joelmatthews5697 😂😂😂😂
@@joelmatthews5697 Only half-dug-in.
What about my boil up? ?
Most unique .. Have never heard of these, yet I hope to try one some day .. Thank you for sharing ..
These would make a nice salsa along with some mango and red onion! Definitely worth it.
Not sure about the onion, probably chili flakes or ..something sour/ spicy
Mmm…with grilled lamb chops and YES to chilli 🌶
@@claum292 it’s salsa 🤦♂️
Spring onion would be better. Or chives too? 😋
@@steemed_milkn_eggs relax ;) I’m just saying
your description of this flavor - between an apple & strawberry, like a pineapple but not as acidic - makes it sound incredible lol. That’s maybe the ultimate fruit combo
Wow!!!
I love learning about new food!!
Especially fruit
I’ve never heard of this!!
Sounds delicious
Never even heard of them let alone seen them. They sound incredible & I'd love to try them, but the chances of me finding them here in Scotland are slim to none!
If you ever find yourself in London they have them at Harrods
They don't mind the cold and can grow anywhere, just make sure they've got plenty of water to drink 👍
@@Tomeccho They don't need a lot of water. Here, where it originally grows, the climate is dry in late spring and summer
@@henriqueprado9205 Fair enough. But more water = bigger juicier fruits.
Just because something has adapted to live with a deficit doesn't mean it can't adapt and benefit from a surplus.
I absolutely loved feijoas when I lived in NZ. So sad I can’t find them outside of NZ!
Truly difficult to decide what I enjoy most about Andy and Babe videos, but coming away from every viewing feeling smarter is a definite plus.
I’ve not seen those in the States but if I do, will try them. There are so many fruits and vegetables from around the world that are delicious. Thanks for introducing them to us.
The flower petals when they're in bloom are also edible and very sweet! I always eat them off of my grandmother's tree. 😊💕
You should make pancit! It’s a simple Filipino dish but when it’s made right it’s out of this world. Plus, everyone makes it with their own twist and we all would love to see yours
Your voice is incredibly soothing
Thanks for sharing! Keep these fruit & fruit tree videos coming! Love it
I lived in Christchurch my kids loved it your a Legend of a cook we're back in Texas we miss New Zealand and Bluff oysters
It’s so cool how many different and tasty fruits there are out here in the world. I hope one day I can travel more to try some out, cheers!
We had a whole backyard of these trees ... loved just sitting under the trees and munching out with my family n freinds...
I loved Feijoas when I lived in NZ, had a tree in our back garden. Not tried one for 20 years.
Feijoas have a lovely Gardenia like flower as well!
OMG yes!! We always had family or neighbors bring some over from thier trees. Started making feijoa crumble and feijoa bread with all the excess...amazing!!!
They are delicious, beautiful with that aromatic smell. I too love that taste. If only I could see them in fruit/vege. markets here in Australia.😋😋😋
Btw feijoas jam was werey popular in Soviet russia ... Lomonade made of feijoas is amazing.
I love learning about new fruits!
Literally the first time I've ever heard of these. They sound delicious!
They are. They’re addictive too.
Thank you. I want. Fresh fruit gives me mad energy. 🤓
Yep Chef! In Colombia is quite common fruit. Is cropped in cold weather and heights over 2000 m..In some areas is usually blend feijoa, milk and sugar.. it taste delicious!

Hey chef, can you make a kiwi classic steak & cheese pie pls? 😁🥧
Solid brother, and your right. Feijoas is childhood memories in South Auckland
I have a very large bush of them growing in my garden here in New Zealand, totally love them
I grew up in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and ate these all the way home from school. Every 2nd house seemed to have them in the front yard, so we were full by the time we got home. So delicious and sweet!
When I was living in nz I found them growing everywhere wild so damn good. I had one at my house in oz. Don’t eat to many though 😂😂😂
I've got two feijoa trees. I'm in Australia. Mine taste like a combination of pineapple, strawberry and sherbet. Possums love them!
Yes. They are delicious. I see feijoas trees everywhere here in Auckland. 😀

First time I saw one of these as a Queenslander was in Tasmania, had a few in the yard of a house we rented in Gladstone (tiny lil Tassie town) as well as rhubarb and tiny little guavas not much bigger than a pea. Made some interesting jams when theyd fruit
This fruit is very common in Colombia 🇨🇴, mainly used blended whole fruit with milk and sugar (you need to sieve) or even icecreams. It's lovely
Yip. In my hometown, Nelson in New Zealand these are extremely popular in Autumn and we're inundated with them. Great for sorbets, cake and WINE!!
I love these videos introducing ingredients we may have never known
I will look for them. I bet they would make an interesting cobbler. Thanks 🙏🏻
Love your video, respect you so much. You cook soo many different type of food. Its not easy man. Keep it up. Definitely entertaining!!!!!!!
Yummo! I love the fresh up drink they do in this flavour

Love from NZ brother! You should do a kiwifruit one next, what a treat!

In Colombia we make smoothies with them. Milk, feijoas and sugar in the blender. They’re delicious!
My mom grow them in her garden and I agree the jam is delicious.
Thanks! Can't wait to try them. If I can find them.
As a New Zealander of corse we have a Feijoa tree in our backyard. Just recently harvested some monster ones. Had one the size of my palm.
I love them. I had a tree and made jam and cakes with them.
When Feijoa's were in season when I was in NZ, I used to go through 50 of them in one go.... Literally one of the best tasting fruits.
I knew you were from N.Z but when you're partner appeared in the shorts, it made me second guess. Awesome bro keep em coming👍
Hey there, Personally they remind me of my grandfather, since he loves to take them from the farm, they grow in Colombia, which is my country.
I found one of these plants as a kid walking around the bush, unfortunately as an adult when I went back could never find them again. Glad to know what they are now.
Definitely going into my list of trying new things, cheers lad 👍🏽
Thats cool. I live in Norway and I've never seen or even heard of these..
En Colombia nos comemos con todo y cascara! También hacemos jugo! Delicioso
I’ve never seen this at my grocery store! I would love to try it too!
No feijoa in Maine 😩
