I planted a Rollina tree about 18 months ago and it’s flowering now. Can’t wait to see how it tastes!
Despite living on a tropical island (Barbados) all my life, I'm amazed at the number of tropical fruit I've never seen before, far less tasted. Great video series!
It's native to Trinidad and Venezuela but should grow fine in Barbados.
Barbados native plants would have been devastated by British colonization. It was all about sugar then so I thinks that's a big reason
@@calandoful Seems plausible.
I need this fruit in my life right away lol
My experience with Rollinia, someone brought me a chunk, of this, and me being squeamish I was not about to try it. It looked slimy, and just gross. but my friend insisted.
what a great fruit, I like it so much better than the other annona type fruit. and the texture is not slimy, its more buttery melt in your mouth. which I can handle.
and yes, it tasted like lemon meringue pie.
Yeah it's really tasty. My favorite anona so far. The green one I had was slimier, so it probably depends on the ripeness of the fruit.
This is my favorite fruit of all time!!! so amazing. everything is perfect about it. Basically nature grew pie filling
I just bought a rollinia tree at my farmers market because I just adore this fruit. I hope it produces well here in USDA zone 10a Florida
Best of luck!
Hey! How’s the growth going?
That's so amazing, I just planted a seedling.
good luck!
I am just now eating my first one! Thank you for introducing me to so much great fruit!
I heard of biriba in costa rica but could never find it. I thought to look around a bit online and I'm pleased to see you have covered this topic!
Just got a Rollinia tree, super excited to see how it grows!
Sad to say it died in the cold earlier this year but whatever, I’ll probably get seeds for it later down the line
Here in Costa Rica they call this Biriba and it is my favorite fruit i have tried thus far. i like to eat them very ripe, and to me its like if lemon meringue and banana cream pies had a baby lol there is 1 vendor right at the entrance of Puerto Viejo who has them quite often and they are usually ripe. he is the only one i have found so far who sells them. you can find sour sop everywhere around here, but like you, i have had many issues with bugs in them, so for me the biriba is a much better option since it has such a thick skin you never find bugs in them.
watching this while eating a rollina is perfection!
just ordered the Miamifruit Annona they say is like this.... Excited to try it!
Good content just keeps coming. I'm impressed.
thanks!
Going back through your annona videos I must say it sure is pleasant to get to this theme music, very cosy viewing bruh
This is one of the best fruits I've ever tried personally. Top ten for sure.
Cool looking fruit. Love to see those fractalized, geometric ones.
I really hope you save seeds. I could only imagine the seed bank you could have built up by now
I send seeds to patreon supporters
Great video, your review helped me in deciding on buying plant
Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago
We grow these on Hawaii island and wow, they're in incredible. It's like a banana-coconut pie if you don't harvest it early. The scrapings of the inside of the fruit husk even taste exactly like a pie crust!
glad you made the video, I'm excited to get some fruit off my tree. Still a small tree but it's moving! some day with patience!! ugh
It will be worth the wait, I'm sure. :)
Here in Brasil we call it Biribá.
Thanks! Got one today. Cant wait to put it in the ground.
This is the holy grail for me...this and pawpaw!
I LOVE this channel!!! Around here, the only "exotic" fruits I can find are white sapotes. Man those are good though!! :D
Thanks! White sapotes are great, hard to find those around where I live.
The green ones reminds me of an atemoya only bigger. The yellow one looks delicious.
yeah the flavor is quite different, but they look similar
I've had a fair few exotic fruits but never the one in this video. I hope to encounter one, one day.I was delighted to find fresh tamarind pods last week, which were delicious. I've only ever had the paste before.I also found a seller of my favourite fruit, the mangosteen. They're very hard to get hold of in this part of the uk and when they do appear, they're very expensive.
That's a nice find! Mangosteens are certainly worth the trouble to track them down
They certainly are. I was delighted at the price too, it works out at about £9 for 500g so about $12 for 17 ounces. Much better than the £1.50 each last time I saw them for sale.
+Emma Goudie not bad, that's around what they sell for in the USA. They go for about $1/kg in Malaysia... but let's not think about that.
Mangosteen is probably my favorite fruit, too!
It looks like the inside of a really ripe pawpaw. Love your videos!
Makes sense, they are related :)
is that true?
Isn't there an Annona in Africa called Junglesop or something? Would be awesome if you found one one day!
That is very high on my must try list. It's incredibly rare though
+Jared Rydelek Awesome, looking forward to that video!
The green one you held up is a different variety. I think one is rollinia (Brazilian custard apple) and the green one is a traditional custard apple (cherimoya) these are always green and sometimes green with black. Notice the spires on the skin are different.
could have been something else I suppose, but it wasn't a cherimoya.
great video. thanks
Daaaaamn I wanna see that patreon exclusive annona fruit content
Yum. I'm jelly. But congrats on finding such a gem!
Best Anona!
Thanks jared
any time, meg. :)
Sorry for the late reply. I'm a vegetarian. I tried going fruitarian out of convenience once and I didn't last one meal. Not for me.
help! looking for some rollinia here in Austria... nowhere to be found, and no fruit vendor has a clue where to get it from (or what i even mean)... do you know if there is any store/website to order tropical fruit to Europe?
Wish they grew these in the U.S.!
California and Florida can do it
Looks like a beautiful specimen! How much did you pay for that fruit in local currency and the equivalent in US Dollars? Was it being sold by the kilo or per fruit? If the former, how much per kilo? Hope you still recall. Thanks, Jared.
They were being sold per fruit. I believe it was something around $1 US.
So CHEAP! Good for the locals there...and for you while it lasted! Thanks again! I have a small Rollinia plant now, for what it's worth, hopefully it will bear good quality fruit when it does eventually...not the snotty kind.
Hope it grows well for you, certainly a great one to have.
Thanks, Jared.
Hey Jared have you ever run into a fruit called June plum or Golden apple? It's normally sold fresh and ripe but often in Southeast asia they'll be sold pickled or Green.
I think that's the same as Ambarella fruit. I did a comparison of ripe and unripe last year. Search for "Ambarella weird" and it should come up :)
Looks like the the Evil hot causin of the Annona.
it basically is
what power did you get?
Love it
on my top 5!!
same here :)
Please provide me a lot of good conceptions about the nut fruit. At first I want to know, whether this. fruit is one among the most importent one of the world or not ? At the same time I am also eager to know the tast and flavour of it. 7:14
Gosh i wish i could get this fruit in the UK.
Yeah I wish I could get these in the USA :/
What type of bananas are hanging on that coat hanger back there.
I filmed this back in february, but I believe those are Gros Michel bananas, which I reviewed shortly after :)
I see that you were staying at the hotel above the McDonald's. How were you able to hook up with Fabian to guide you around?
where does rollinia rank on your all time favorite fruits list?
Not sure where I'd place it exactly, but in my top 3.
What are your thoughts on the pomegranate?
I like them, I just rarely buy them. Not weird enough to warrant their own video, but I'd review them if I had a few varieties to compare
+Jared Rydelek Fair enough.
They're one of my favorites, although I guess I haven't tasted very many fruits.
+Jared Rydelek And thanks for replying. : )
Hi, I have a question? Is this tropical fruit? Can this be grown in the Philippines? What do you think? I’m planning to order at Miami, and I want to send the seeds back home.
Yes it’s a tropical fruit, it should grow very well in the Philippines. Cheers!
@@dingdonglong803 thanks for the info because I haven’t try this variety
Are the seeds poisonous like with the cherimoya?
I believe so
No. And they sprout like wildfire!
Wow, i would like to taste this one.
Have you done annona purpurea?
i believe locals call this one Lim KIm
Hi dude,i live in tropical country,can you give me all the seeds that you have,i want to plant them, ill be very happy for your giving,thanks my man!👏
Question: are you a vegetarian or a fruitarian?
Vegetarian.
Is it possible to grow these in southern California?
Maybe in parts of San Diego that are a bit warmer and somewhat inland than the coastal parts.
Looks like they were sold green so you can take them home and leave them on the counter to ripen to the right consistency that isn't snot-like.
It's so unfair how you ate every fruit I wanted to taste
Keep hunting :)
this one or atemoya wich one is better?
I personally like these better
having travelled all over the world ive never seen this fruit before, must be availble only in kuching during july/august months?
ive been in kota kinabalu and brunei and never seen this fruit, niether green or yellow! but that was in april
I found this in february and saw it several places. I've heard the best time for findiing fruit is December/January, so maybe I caught the end of the season?
Do you think I this can be found in Indonesia?
I found this in east Malaysia so I'm pretty sure you can at least find it in Kalimantan, probably in other areas as well.
The one I ate was picked yellow off the tree when I got it
I tried to get to the pantreon page by clicking on bunnies but nothing happened!
Have this at my backyard, always fruiting haha..too many fruits..easy to pick up, the tree not really tall..sadly, i dont really like its taste.. not really sweet..
Yes, everyone says lemon meringe pie
I Love Cats!!!!
This fruit is native to the Amazon region, very common and appreciated in northern Brazil
I'm planning a trip to the Amazon region. I hope to get my hands on a lot of these!
Looks like a vicious atemoya.
Bunnies!
This seems like a cross between a sweet sap and a custard apple.
hello! Jared
Hi
If you want to try rollinia that’s fresh then you have to grow it yourself
Did you see orangutans in Borneo?
the green one is not a rolinia, its acutally a sweet apple or sitaphal
nope, it's a green rolinia. i've had sitafal
So far I don't understand your love for these soursop type fruits. They have all grossed me out besides cherimoya and it was kinda boring.
It looks like a guyabano.
OMG gimmie some snot
hahaha
The green one you showed is not a rolinia
The green one is a rollinia, just underripe
@@griffinc3263 you may be right, it looks just like an Annona only slightly pointier.
Hi
Rollinia is actually a genus, not a species
I have tried a fruit that looks just like that but they call it sweet sap. Maybe there the same or related.
sweet sop I believe refers to the sugar apple, related to this, but usually small and green
Gooey soursop
if you think it's "snotty" yours was defiantly over ripe. Really disgusting an unfair assessment of this fruit.
This comment was written by a rollinia
so gross you called them "snotty" they're not snotty at all.
Hi
hi
