@@batznocharge There's a really nice (and really long) anime, called One Piece. This anime has special fruits, called Devil Fruits, which when you eat them give you a power, but you lose the ability to swim in salty water and also your power is gone if you're locked in a cage made of sea stone (which I'm sure not the proper name, but Idk how it's called in English)
Im a Tasmanian Aboriginal, and the pepper berries you have on your list here has been used for millennia by my people to flavour our foods. I often go up into the alpine regions and harvest a bunch and dry them out to substitute black pepper. They are incredible on fried eggs, i also use them with the leaves and other assorted native berries to stuff my mutton bird with. If ever you are allowed to visit Tasmania, once this pandemic goes away, id be more than happy to take you on a walk about to taste some of our wild fruits. Let me know either way.
When will UA-cam realize that this guy's channel is the quality content people want when they look up weird fruits. Informative, well researched, this man actually goes around the world and physically sees and tries what he talks about. UA-cam algorithms have forced you down this path and I hope they will help get your channel the recognition it deserves. Truly the Bob Ross of finding and describing rare and exotic fruits.
5:31 I love how the little girl is standing back there with her hand on her hip like 'I told them not to eat it and look at them eating it anyhow' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shouldnt all stinging nettles be the same? ;) Im totally convinced that this arent stinging nettle in the video. Look at them. They look so much different. There are about 2625 different species of nettle and just one of them is the stinging nettle. But this arent them at all. Everything look different. PS: Real stinging nettle have no berries, but fruit and leaf is edible if prepared correct.
@@sleepingcity85 haha I wish I knew I needed to boil the nettle first, I tried picking a wild nettle leaf and eating it. I spent hours trying to get the soares out by drinking milk lol.
@@sleepingcity85 the thing in the video is definitely not the normal stinging nettle, urtica. The thing in the video looks like a tree, whereas urtica are more like small bushes, and certainly don't have berries.
Have you ever explored the fruit of some seaweeds? There's one I had in Okinawa called sea grapes (caulerpa lentillifera... I think!).Beautiful little bubbles that is so much like, I suppose, caviar, especially with a little light soy and mirin on it. Definitely worth giving it a try.
Botanically speaking, algae don't have fruits. What you had is more like bulbous "stems" or "leaves". (Botanists won't even call them stems and leaves but the difference here is less important.)
@@YelDohan I didn't want to complicate things with unnecessary details. I just used the word 'fruit' in a more casual manner than literal. Although those bubbles can be used for floatation on some seaweeds, these ones are filled with liquid so I think they are the reproductive parts of it... so I just guessed they are pretty close to being its fruit. Jared has done articles on things other than fruits, so I thought this would be a valid question regardless of what they are.
My friend from Rarotonga (Cook Islands) as a kid told me how she used to eat wild Pistachio's for the sweet fruit and throw away the nut and it wasn't until she came to New Zealand that she found out that in the west we eat the seed and throw away the fruit.
In florida I ate the fruit planted the seeds in pots grew them to about twelve inches then gave em to a neighbor in Plantation fl. She planted them and they’re beautiful trees now
"Lets just assume this was used as a condiment on human flesh" *Dips finger into it and tastes it* ... ... *Goes for a second tasting of his finger* Alright that's it I'm interested in this channel
Pleasee come to Konkan,India when the pandemic is over. You'll see a lot of different fruits. And also try karvanda(Carissa carandas). You'll see a lot of shrubs along the side of the roads. We also have two different varieties of jackfruit,kaapa and barka. We have kokum,which us similar to mangosteen Many different types of mangoes. You can also try different products made from these fruits. Make sure you try kokum soda.
Is it bad that I knew all of these as I watched from watching every single one of your videos before often as they come out. I have poor mental health and have a lot of down time often and your videos are calming and don’t trigger my anxiety. I have also been interested in fruit but could never travel like you do tho maybe one day. Anyway thank you for the content :)
@@pepre7594 I think it's part of human nature, to have that need to explore, and see something new. Watching Jared's videos, I deeply regert never traveling. Still, they are all good.
Seeing Jared travel on all these trips and seeing all these places does make me want to travel. I then look at my bank account and the pandemic and think that is not going to happen soon.
Ive found abundant free time is conducive to mental illness. Get yourself out of the rut by slowly pushing yourself every day to take one more step a day, do one more thing. It helps fix your reward system. Also vitamins/excercise are super important. Worked better than medication for me. Being depressed isn’t always the wrong response to a shitty boring life inside all day. Anxiety can be reduced through everyday practice and understanding your fear isn’t rational
I literally had no idea that pistachios were from a fruit. And add in the fact they're related to mangoes, that just makes me want to go where they're grown fresh to try some for myself.
There is reasons a lot of fruits are not in supermarkets. The reason things are in supermarkets is because they have a long shelf life. That is why people will love things like mulberries and even though mulberries produce a lot it does not get put into grocery stores. Same situation as say thimbleberries which was on Jared's top 10. Another reason can be production levels. You want something that is going to produce a large amount so you can make quite a bit. There is also some fruit that is banned in a lot of states so not very commercially viable such as currents. Also water needs can become a challenge in growing certain fruit commercially. Paw Paw live in zone 5 where I am but require 30 inches of water a year which is double our rainfall for the entire year.
The dried leaves are also used to make a kind of tea. Altough the stinging bettle growing in Europe look quite different from the one shown in the video.
I'm so familiar to eating stinging nettles, to the point were i just eat them raw. No i don't shove it in straight away, but i roll the leaves in my hands in order to brake the hairs (Trichomes), so it doesn't sting my mouth (Though it does sting my hands, but it doesn't bother me).
@skeemp No, because nettles have trichomes, with are basically a really nerfed down version of thorns. Once you squeeze the juices out and roll the leaves around in your hand, it practically brakes the trichomes, so it no longer stings. And if you happen to still get stung upon swallowing, the worst that would happen would just be a tickle in the throat.
4:52 oh man 😂. i never saw gunda as fruit. I'm from india and i have some information about gunda. we eat by swallow frying it in powder of methi* and spices and also by making pickle out of it. like soaking it in lemon juice and then mix it with oil and spices. making is a damn mess. but its delicious after cooking. i love it.
a few years ago in naples florida I found a pandanus growing in some rich person yard. I was so intrigued that I just had to steal one... never seen one before or since
Fun fact: In Serbia getting stung on nettle is concidered healthy since doesnt cause actual damage, you babies XD... Oh and because of the old "pain means healing" crap... But it is actually healthy, try making nettle soup, you wont regret it.
Nah - not clickbaity enough. If this was a buzzfeed or earth titan video with no background information whatsoever and just photos from a search engine then yes.
This was way more thorough and methodical then what i expected clicking on this video. Very good. For a top 10 list, you seem to actually put effort into knowing what youre talking about lol I live around nettles, people use them for all sorts of things. Mostly tea for joint pain and peeing better, but you can also use the stinging effect itself for a sort of nerve therapy
Ah man I love your videos and what you do! I’m constantly turning people onto your channel and the feed back is always top notch so thank you. Have you ever been to South America? LOTS of weird and unique fruits there
Growing up in California, we have pistachio orchards and stuff around here, so it was weird to see that one because it's so normal to me! Never eaten the skin though, that's really interesting.
The Steven, and Jared videos are interesting. It sucks, that travel is so problematic. The Earth is amazing, and we live under the illusion that we conquered it. We have this feeling of superiority, flying over the Earth, and ten thousand feet, ignorant at the complexity of what's beneath our feet.
Just want to thank you for turning me on to Fresh durian. Yes it is stinky, but tastes good. Your durian episodes are my motivation. Particularly the ones shipped from California, year of the durian.
I was waiting for that Pandanus pay off after being said so much in the intro and I thought "he wouldn't..." but he actually did! That madlad. Got a laugh outta me.
You have quite a few videos in your arsenal, so I haven’t seen them all. That being said, I was not disappointed to see you going to town on your hand a second after I thought to myself “well, is it working? Is the tomato making you want to eat your finger?”😂
I gotta hand it to you any countdown of strange/weird things tend to be almost exclusively "weird" things that are popular factoids, but almost all of these are genuinely interesting and weird and I had never heard of them.
In Iraq we call glueberry Bambar. My family had tree at our old house. Its less gluey than the berries you showen in the video. I used to eat it when I was a kid. My mother would harvest the green berries and pickle them. In weekends Mme and my friends would use the glue from the berry to makke paper kites.
that one's probably the weirdest of all. Also the one that's used as a living barbed wire by African bushmen to keep out the lions and tastes like fruity beets
Don’t wanna ruin this for anyone but stingy nettles in the uk is one of my staple foods. I’m used to the stings, they’re not bad once you get used them 🌿😁
I've been watching your videos for a few years now and it occurs to me that maybe you should put together a book for travelers... just list each country alphabetically and mention which weird fruits a person may want to try in that country. Add some commentary to make it interesting and you'd have something!
I was literally thinking a few days ago "I need a UA-camr to teach me about new fruits". Then this popped up randomly. UA-cam is starting to freak me out.
Thank you for this video. A lot of valuable information. I wish these fruits were easier to find so I could grow them. I'll be on the lookout :) I'm subscribing
Papaya seeds are also often used as an adulterant for black pepper (and BTW is used to kill parasites in the digestive tract). Love your channel! Thanks for sharing your fruit adventures & the knowledge you've learned! ❤
in albania we have a couple unique ones, we have chocolate persimmon which is the most delicious fruit i have tried. The second best fruit is what we call a firiki apple or miniature apple, it has the flavor of a big apple packed in a apricot sized apple amazing. Also thana shqiptare which is a cherry looking fruit extremely dry, imagine if a quince was super sweet, its blood red on the outside and broccoli green in the inside, its known as an athletes fruit. Musmula is another one its like a sour tropical tasting fruit, it has a tree sap texture that i dont like, but as an aromatic or flavoring i absolutely love it, they mainly use it with tobacco
I'm sorry, but i just don't think it's a good idea to mention cannibalism in a fruit video, especially related to tomato garnishes with that. To act as if cannibalism is anything but completely insane, is, well, completely insane. And to be fascinated with cannibalism is even a step beyond completely insane. It is no less than completely insane. Period!!!
11:17 - People use bromelain topically, to remove dead skin from burns, and orally, to reduce inflammation and swelling - particularly of the nasal passages. Bromelain is also used as a digestive aid, for osteoarthritis, and to reduce soreness in aching muscles.
Nettle soup was a common dish here in the Nordics once. Boiling it takes away the poison and destroys the needles. I have never tried it myself, but I am told it is very healthy.
That looks very different from our stinging nettles. With ours the sap is the cure for the sting. Years ago they would start making a wine from it as soon as they new the woman was pregnant. It was used to ease the pain of child birth. And it didn't take years to make

I've been watching your videos for a few years now and it occurs to me that maybe you should put together a book for travelers... just list each country alphabetically and mention which weird fruits a person may want to try in that country. Add some commentary to make it interesting and you'd have something!
He edits his videos like a 2012 presentation and I still love it
It’s very relaxing, hope he keeps it the same.
I was literally thinking a few days ago "I need a UA-camr to teach me about new fruits". Then this popped up randomly. UA-cam is starting to freak me out.
Thanks for the video
Thank you for this video. A lot of valuable information. I wish these fruits were easier to find so I could grow them. I'll be on the lookout :)
I'm subscribing
Can't you make a book of all the different fruits, from all around the globe ?
Would be wished for the gardeners and permaculturist among us
Currently eating garlic pistachios from the Central Valley in California! Amazingly delicious! 99% o US pistachios come from the C.V.!
Papaya seeds are also often used as an adulterant for black pepper (and BTW is used to kill parasites in the digestive tract). Love your channel! Thanks for sharing your fruit adventures & the knowledge you've learned! ❤
in albania we have a couple unique ones, we have chocolate persimmon which is the most delicious fruit i have tried. The second best fruit is what we call a firiki apple or miniature apple, it has the flavor of a big apple packed in a apricot sized apple amazing. Also thana shqiptare which is a cherry looking fruit extremely dry, imagine if a quince was super sweet, its blood red on the outside and broccoli green in the inside, its known as an athletes fruit. Musmula is another one its like a sour tropical tasting fruit, it has a tree sap texture that i dont like, but as an aromatic or flavoring i absolutely love it, they mainly use it with tobacco
I'm sorry, but i just don't think it's a good idea to mention cannibalism in a fruit video, especially related to tomato garnishes with that. To act as if cannibalism is anything but completely insane, is, well, completely insane. And to be fascinated with cannibalism is even a step beyond completely insane. It is no less than completely insane. Period!!!
11:17 - People use bromelain topically, to remove dead skin from burns, and orally, to reduce inflammation and swelling - particularly of the nasal passages.
Bromelain is also used as a digestive aid, for osteoarthritis, and to reduce soreness in aching muscles.
When it's opened up it really does look like dead mans fingers!! Like some old corpse fingers that have been decomposing in water!! But I want to try!
I have stinging nettles in my backyard. And I am NOT surprised it was used for torture! They hurt!
Nettle soup was a common dish here in the Nordics once. Boiling it takes away the poison and destroys the needles. I have never tried it myself, but I am told it is very healthy.
Hmmm. If pistachios are related to mangos, then they are also related to poison wood trees. Very interesting videos. Thank you for sharing.
Wish we could order Engkala from the US. I'm tired of finding nut and coconut substitutes for sour cream.
That looks very different from our stinging nettles. With ours the sap is the cure for the sting. Years ago they would start making a wine from it as soon as they new the woman was pregnant. It was used to ease the pain of child birth. And it didn't take years to make
He says pistachio like "pist-AH-shee-oh". Pistoshio. I've never heard anyone else say it like that.
Stephen has spotted something, then we learn about whipping people with stinging nettles." A little fire, it sucks."
The 7th fruit is called "chalta" in Bangladesh, and makes very tasty sweet and sour pickles.
thanks for telling me about the cannibal tomato, i’ll have to buy a few.
I can't be live you don't know where pistachios come from lol, I never knew it would make it to this list
have you tried : chocolate persimmon, firiki apple or miniature apple, thana shqiptare, musmula
