Now that you've seen a palm fruit that tastes meaty, how about one that tastes cheesy?: ua-cam.com/video/5DpmQ9Zx2ig/v-deo.html
slugcats favorite fruit
Hey I want to go to one of your tours and I put my emails when will I get information 😊
@@martinlopez534 there aren't any planned tours right now, but I am hoping to get one ready for next year soon. 👍
@@WeirdExplorerthanks dude
The awkward moment your tour group out-tours you
Jared I was at an urban forestry confrence a few days ago and there was a whole slide of one of the presentations dedicated to you, the presentation focused around osage orange and they mentioned we should watch your video on cooking the seeds and it was cool seeing your channel promoted as a great source of information!
Super interested in this fruit too. Love fatty fruits.
that's awesome! I want to see that slide now 😄
I have some Osage Orange treelings growing in Toronto. One of them is now a rather bushy six feet tall. I named her Edith Prickly for obvious reasons. The fruit is indeed interesting in that if left mature indoors for a couple of months it has a very pleasant citrus aroma. When I removed the seeds for planting, the white pith was no longer exuding latex and the flavour was not inoffensive. Not astringent.
Some people recommend to 'rot' the fruit to get the seeds but I found that allowing it to mature made it much easier and I have a staggered 50% germiination. They just seem to randomly germinate which makes sense from a survival perspective.
@@W9e0e2e3e4pizza you should like Durian then, it tastes like it has fat in it, even my cat liked it
When an avacado and a blueberry love each other very very much...
😂😂😂best comment award!
"who are this people, were are they coming from?? Why they want my obscure fruit?? How on earth they know III have it 😱😱""
It would be very cool if tourists keep going to see her!
@@999Giustina One or two a year, just when she's forgotten the last encounter a new mysterious foreigner visits hero only to buy this fruit!
Finally, blue tomatoes
Don't give them ideas, they'll make a bigger GMO version
blue tomatoes already exist, you just have to paint them with cobalt(II) oxide-aluminium oxide
The gmo blue tomato is not the only blue one, there are heirloom blue cultivars, I grow them they are pretty cool
Blue tomatoes exist. Was maybe more common a century ago (at least here in Sweden). Tomatoes (and potatoes) was first cultivated for use as ornamental plants here in Europe, so there exist a lot of weird looking variants that doesn't taste good and some are slightly poisonous.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_tomato
Lol I guess you heard about the blue tomato saga with Baker Creek
I swear palms have such a diverse array of fruits/edible parts that its hard to believe sometimes. Everything from tomato soup (peach palm) to bran muffins (doum palm) to dates to coconut to jackfruit (snakefruit) to lychee (nypa palm) to flour (palm sago) to cabbage and asparagus (heart of palm) to sugar (palm jaggary) to oil (oil palm, coconut, etc) and probably dozens more variations that I'm not thinking of right now or not even aware of. You could probably make a full 4 course meal solely from palms and have an unsuspecting guest not even notice. Plus for the most part they're very resilient plants. Absolutely miraculous family of plants.
Also pacaya, which is the male inflorescence of Chamaedorea tepejilote. It is widely available in jars in the US in ethnic markets.
Which have you tried and found the most delicious ones? I saw a date palm today (same leaves and fronds and fruit clusters, yellow ones) but the trunk was not like scales but round and with horizontal lines. Are there at least two other types of date palms?
part of the spaceship we came on
I would totally sell those as Smurf turds.
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
aou are a true businessman...or women...
This is a literal MAGICAL encounter. You met a SINGLE OLD LADY in a HUGE MARKET and she gave you a fruit that tastes like meat? This has to be a rare instance, like a .0001 encounter rate lmao
... Bro found the elusive "Little Old Lady" merchant encounter that sells "Exotic Fruits" that you'd swear were not from this planet. >)X^D
@@toryumau6798in an older video, he says don’t trust the old people who sell you fruit (in random places) in one of those “soursop” videos
She's probably gonna stock up and be confused when nobody else buys them that often anymore 😂
In Assam state of India, it's called Tokow. Here people used to eat the seed after peeling the outer flesh and then inner seed protection. It's seed is very hard and people used to chew it like a chewing gum for a long time just like beetle nut.
The peel or the outer flesh isn't eaten . The colour of the outer flesh peel is naturally dark blue especially after it's ripen and falls on the ground.
The leaves were used to make thatched roof for huts in the olden days.
I don't think they are the same fruit. If you can't bite into it I don't think you can chew it like a chewing gum.
@matthew04101 Maybe the other variety has a softer seed, or it’s picked at a different ripeness?
@@matthew04101 not like chewing gum per say, it's more like hard bettle nut. Due to being very hard, it can be chewed for a long time.
I'm Thai and don't even know this fruit.
After some search its "หมากค้อ" (read as Mak Korrr), its also an exotic fruit in Thailand.
I had a similar one in Laos, I'm not sure if it is the same. I found that lady selling it in the market, but it looked like small blue eggs, with some polkadots. The lady said that it is makkow, which is the hog plum that is eaten in Thailand. But inside it looked very similar to this fruit. The same savory taste, that reminds olives.
“Mak Koh” is correct and is eaten throughout Laos, but it isn’t hog plum, hog plum scientific name is spondias mombin which comes from a tropical tree. What we’re watching on the video is “major jenkin’s fan palm fruit” or as you said “Mak Koh” which as the name implies comes from a palm tree.
I had this in Luang Prabang, Laos. First two ladies refused to sell it to me raw, so i thought it was just decorative or religious. Then i understood i had to buy it cooked because it's otherwise inedible.
Tasted pretty much like imitation smoky bacon (maybe they added some spices)
Makes me want to get a ticket just to fly over and find this old lady to try this
One thing you should do in more videos is look into what it would take to grow the fruits one's self you're reviewing and/or uses of the other plant parts (fun fact: edible or otherwise usable plants usually have more than one such part)
Ah ha! A really blue fruit! 💙 This is perfect for my "Hey, did you know..." conversation starter.
Little lady went viral
You mentioned that foreginer is Thai is "farang". Funny thing is it really means like, "frenchie", because of the colonial history of South-East Asia. So they're literally calling us all French
I never knew that 😄
Makes me think of when I went to the Philippines and everyone yelled "hey Joe!" to be because of GI Joe's
The Ferengi in Star Trek got their name from "farang".
That face you made when you tried to eat the seed said it all 😂
Hi Jared my friend Livistona chinnensis is all along Acland street St.kilda Melbourne Australia were I work they fall down and people kick them along the street cheers mate .
so rare to see something mentioned in my neck of the woods. this thing is _really_ cold tolerant
I truly long for your videos… best way to be educated on various fruit.
Glad you like them!
What's the best smelling fruit or vegetable ect you have ever had and what's the best smelling place you have been?
I can imagine when you go off track looking for stuff, all the tropical flowers and trees that grow alongside, it must feel like what a fabric softener advert looks like 😂
I think you should put out more travel and local cuisine content. I'm sure plenty of your audience will be interested in that too.
I really noticed the effort you put into these episodes. Both while you are in a country and then narrating and filming the scenes plus editing and even adding music that enhances the story.
Thank you!
I don't know how all these exotic fruits showed up in my youtube feed but I can't seem to stop watching lol
Def my fave horticulture channel
Thanks man, I strive to continue my research in creating perfect indoor ecosystems for " exotic " fruits and vegetables.
Specially peppers yummmmm
bring this man more views i love his fruit videos there are SO much fruits
The fruit might not be sweet but the video sure, as usual, is !!!
Thanks! 😃
Yeah, many palm fruit species have oily/savory pulp: Kho, Major Jenkins, Moriche, Açai, oil palm drupes...
3:56 ohhh okay, like the dabai
Awesome review! Savory fruits are neat!
Hey, I love your videos, and if I ever need to learn about an obscure fruit this is just the place i go, but I'm curious, where do you find information on some of these fruits? Oftentimes when i google search some of these fruits, I get maybe two results with a small description on the plant, and I wonder how you learned about the fruit. Thanks!
Dude, love the story with the old lady. Thats awesome

When you first cut open the fruit, my first thought was: is the seed edible? Was glad you expounded on the seed and tried it. Very interesting fruit, and you are definitely driven to explore all the different aspects of fruit, even their "edible" seeds. Enjoyed the video very much.
Wow. I am floored!!!! Earth is so wonderful and beyond imagination. One day when I finally get to travel to Thailand I MUST try this absolute delicacy 😭💙
Very enjoyable, thank you!
It looks metallic and unreal
Great video
Came here after seeing your green almond video which was uploaded 8 years ago 😊
Awesome. Thank You.
The visuals aline from this in a red and gold tomato salad alone are intriguing enough
A primary colour salad lol
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds sells seeds to grow your own blue tomatoes. And green tomatoes.
@@CricketsBay oooh thanks, I'll definitely have to check them out, though I would still love to get my hands in this fruit to up it one further if that makes sense.
I do genuinely appreciate this tho as sourcing slightly rarer products at reasonable rates is a big part of a business plan I'm working on so that's very helpful.
THAT IS FACINATING!!
Lol. Is that "down by the riverside" in the background?
Sooo crazy!!! Like an olive. Oily. I love nerding out on this shit.
Your video's have always interest me. The way you explain the fruits lets everyone know whether you would eat it or not.
This video on Kho is very moooooooving
If it's oily, there must be some cooking oil that is made from this fruit.
No. Due to the astringency.
@@CricketsBay Astringent oil? That's can't be right.
6:23, finally, something for all my seed sadist homies
Always interesting 🤔
This fruit sounds plenty of tasty! I can totes see this on a relish platter or in appetizers or salads
Have you ever tried Chrysobalanus Icaco? The size and seed ratio reminded me of it. It's eaten but not sold, where I'm from.
I need this in my cooking i wish i could help support its farming
super cool looking, doesn't sound super tasty but definitely cool.
I think I know that market. I cant remember what its called but the food court is in the basement the top floor is all t-shirts and luggage.
Are you coming to Malaysia for the durian season?
@vanhoe0 Durian is not a rare exotic fruit unless there are some rare varieties not well known growing in Malaysia.
This reminds me a bit of ube - butter pear. Have you found those?
Would it go well with meat & cheese on a charcuterie board like olives then? I was hoping you'd make a dish with it! Cool what you said about it maybe being a betel nut alternative - it would make sense that there might be multiple arecoline containing palm fruits. Betel nut has always fascinated me - i would think it must be a pretty decent buzz if people chew it til their mouths rot lol
Thanks for this new video UA-cam man.
What is best taste fruits/berries for home window grouing?
I just ate something similar to this but it wasnt called Kho, it was called Mak Kho, it was made into a "salad" with spices and probably some fishsauce. So it was spicy, sour, mostly sour.
They werent blue, so obviously not the same fruit, but if you look up Mak Kho there is a thai (Uncle Nui) video showing how he prepares it. Maybe something to check out.
I ate them Bangkok and my friend said they came from Northern Thailand.
Kia Ora E Hoa! If you ever make it to Aotearoa I can show you all of our native fruits. You cant buy them you have to go into the bush to find them.
Man, I was looking for any information about that fruit for a very long time. Thanks so much!
Seeds may contain oxalic acid? Which would explain the dry weird taste, just saying!
would live to go in a fruit tour… do you have a link? or how do we male reservations??
I wonder; Is this a fruit that would be pickled and not only eaten out of hand?
is this same as major jenkins palm fruit?
I'm new here, have you tried tucumã?
Very interesting channel
Thanks for visiting
@@WeirdExplorer I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE!!! 🔥🤬
@@brightblackgrouse6236
Thanks for visiting
@@duck8353 thanks for visiting
It's a very vibrant blue
IIRC, the Indigo Girls' first album, before signing with Sony Music, was called "Blue Fruit." I expect they'd get a kick out of this.
Do you plant the seeds or save them?
Hellooo! Im finally back after a year or so i cant remember! I lost My original account Ryan$gaming but im back again i missed watching your video every single night im glad im here again! Hoping you remember me!
I bet this would have been nice during your fruitarian experiment!
say it with me.... TO-MAH-TEE-YO ....... GRAH-NAH-DEE-YO
5:07 holy cow dude I wish I could anything like fresh olives that cheap per unit, way better than US prices
What are the coordinates?
Beetleborgs fruit collab goes kinda hard tho
I’m from Thailand and I didn’t even know that is a thing!damn
You're gonna find out on your next visit she was never real and you got magical fruit, you'd best plant one to save them
An interesting one for sure, although I couldn't help but be a bit disappointed. The thumbnail made me think of another kind of extremely vibrant blue fruit that I'd previously seen in pictures of wild cassowaries, who are said to love them. But that one is apparently called "blue quandong". Would love to see you try it if you're ever in Australia.
Going to Pakistan soon! i have similar hobby as you with one difference. I grow my catalog of fruits (sometimes they die or dont grow at all). Could you recommend some rare friuts? I already know i will be on the hunt for black sapote, im looking for it since the beginning of my journey. . Again please give me recommendations for fruits in Pakistan (the rarer the better).
Major Jenkins palm fruit?
Can I get seeds for this
It's just a prune ?
When are you gonna try
Eugenia Complicata ?
I've heard it described as tasting like olives and meat.
I would not agree that Betle nut don't taste good🤔 The mouthfeel is a lot of, but otherwise, it is ok.
can it ketchup?
Hey you should do a collaboration with the Thought Emporium. He made “Meat Grapes”….
Will it ketchup?
Three words for it counts
'This could be a drug' *eats it immediately*
This would prob be amazing in any Gin based drink
cow print made with kho fruit 🐄🔵
Wait, those are edible? I thought it was toxic or something because the colors are really vivid and the tree is oak-like.
Giant Olive?
Oh my goodness, I didn't know cows can grow fruit, and it's blue.
i really love your videos, there is something really calming about them. i was wondering how can someone do what you do? id love to try different foods too but im worried i might not have the money or knowledge for it..
Oh fitshortie was kinda right then, almost all of the comments were roasting him lol
interesting
