Did you know I have playlists for each country I've visited on this series?
Check out all of my videos from Malaysia here: ua-cam.com/play/PLvGFkMrO1ZxJ-yGKUNKQMt7TQxLUj3XhR.html
I she translate it as Sun Apple.
yes I love your chart you put in the videos, can you redo you rown videos with those charts?
soo the lady was chinese but lived in malasya?
@@aksbs3700 yeah, sounds like it. Something apple.
Fuzzy chayote
The number of fruits that i have never seen or heard of that is shown in your channel is astonishing for someone who isnt a spring chicken and is well traveled. Thank you.
That's a fun name! In Finnish, "nam nam" means "yum yum" and "namu" also means sweet or candy! What a cool coincidence😄
I believe it's the same across Scandinavia
@@TobiNightcorepretty common in america, too! we think of it as a childish word, maybe kids just like to make certian sounds :3
Yes, a leftover from the Finno-Korean Hyperwar.
Holy crap I finally found the fruit channel again I rememeber binge watching these like 4 years ago and now I can binge watch more
Wow, the way it grows by the trunk with a fringe of leaves looks so neat!
It does!
@@WeirdExplorertry to eat jostaberry
@@WeirdExploreror any Rubis specie's also butiás south Americans palm 🌴 🥥 species . Red pitanga and purple pitanga and imbuí fruit ah don't forget to eat araucarias nuts species and living fossils cousins in orthers southern places in earth 🌍🌎 like Australia 🌏 and new Zealand!!! Anyway Jared keep up with great work 😘😍🔥💯👍😎🦾
@@WeirdExplorersim is nice looking and weird way more than jabuticaba which besides growing in a rare similar way in the stem's of the tree 🎄 looks like any berry fruits out there with a common purple 🟣 color skin and white pulp is common too !!! (Sim means yes in Portuguese so Jared learned a bit of different language you're native to!)
For most people outside Africa and Asia, the tamarind is the only plant of the Detarioideae they will be familiar with. It is in the pea family but not in the more well known mimosa or bean sections, one of the four smaller subfamilies.
Looks like it oxidizes quite quickly as well. I love star fruit, and green mango is supposed to be very sour if memory serves, so that sounds delicious! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I hope everyone is doing well and having a great day!
it is "discoveries" like this that keep me hooked on this channel.
Sounds really good!
I could definitely nom nom some nam nam.
Haha, good one!
I like how you interact with people. You seem very nice and genuine
really looks like toad skin
Looks like bilimbi, especially the flowers
It does! well on the tree anyway
Wow, that's a completely new one for me. Thanks for sharing it!
Reminds me of my childhood. I had to steal it from huffy neighbor just to eat it ahahaha. The fact that we never get it that ripe amused me, because it would be gone before that 😂. We call it NamNaman!
Makes me think of custard apple when you cut it in half, sounds good.
Fully ripe one really delicious... Quite rare fruit...
@weirdexplorer can you video on Durian ranked from best to worst in terms of taste, price like value and location. Like S- tier list for weird fruit!!!!
I like to eat this fruit with a dips. With kuah rojak to be precised.
I find starfruit's acidity about a 1-2, so I find the star fruit comparison interesting. I think I would enjoy this fruit based on your description! I wonder what pollinates them given they grow so low to the ground. Maybe a mammal, or crawling insect?
Man you find the coolest stuff. That's part of the reason Destin supports your channel I'd bet. You're the other reason. Keep on showing off the best the world has to offer
This fruit is good!! I like to eat this when i was a kid!! But i always dip it in soy sauce mix with vinegar and sugar.. it taste like rose apple for me😌😌
In Terengganu these are traditionally called kepek or stangguk! 😊
Dang, that is one odd fruit! I love sour fruit, so this is one I'll be putting on a long list of fruit I'll probably only get to try if I get rich.
first time not seeing smarter every day thanked as a super patron
They are still mega supporters on patreon! This was a one-time shout out for a new super patron.
@@WeirdExplorer good to hear it
Hi I am a sirilankan and the fruit naminang is very popular in my country my son loves to eat it 😊
I guess I didn't realize you were 8 feet tall 😂
Oo id love to try this one
It's so good
I love this channel. So informative. Thank you! Ive been tryibg more new fruits over time too
I’ve seen and eaten this fruit before. Thought it was native to South Asia. In Sri Lanka however it’s pronounced as Naminam. Not a very common fruit you would find in your local fruit vendor.
Looks awesome, wish I could have found some when I was in Malaysia
I'm in Malaysia. This is that one fruit you will rarely see in the market, but so common in local backyards. Probably it is not sold because the tree is usually so prolific and it produces fruit all year round thus there is no need to buy them if you have a tree. And yes, they're so good especially the ripe ones are very succulent and has a distinct aroma mixed with tanginess and a little bit sweetness, which I like.
In my place, it's called Toad Starfruit or "Belimbing Katak" in Indonesian language.
Have you tried any of the duguetia fruits?
Gotta love some fruit in the morning!
it tastes good, I usually sprinkle a little salt
Good tip!
Very cool. The flowers on the tree look like bilimbi flowers.
Namu namu, in Hawaiian means to grumble
Please do an episode of African 'Marula fruit'.
nice fruit to cover
Hi, I'm from the northwest. The only interesting fruit I can think of the grows up here are huckleberries and juneberries, so your channel has become a great outlet for me. So i just want to say, Keep up the great work!!
Another beautiful fruit you have shared!
Episode 711... damn. That's a lotta fruit.
Wow i wonder how they can grow off the bark.
It is called "cauliflory." Theobroma sp. such as chocolate, redbuds (Cercis sp.), and most types of jaboticaba (Myrciaria sp.?) also do that, though usually higher on the trunk/branches. Maybe this plant is spread by ground-dwelling mammals like pigs or tapirs.
We have a new boss on campus!!!!
Thank you Egg for being THE mega Patreon!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm surprised you haven't traveled to Sri Lanka(Ceylon), you'll plenty of rare fruit verities in that little Island, where you can find true Ceylon Cinnamon and Quality Ceylon Tea.
there's a lot of world to travel to. Sri Lanka would be cool
At glance the flowers are similar to starfruit and bilimbi, so maybe from same family?
The name alone will make me never eat it.
Question/request can/are you able to try a few different species of pain tree seeds.
Or maybe try some oak tree seeds my favorite black oak but I bit bitter but a glass of lemon juice pored on it or dipped in fixes this.
I had acorns way back when. Pine would be a cool one for the future. ua-cam.com/video/nG6vQ5gXG34/v-deo.html
Looks like a fruit i would love
The flowers look similar to a bilimbi flower.
Dangit, I'm not the first with this but I'm spelling it differently 😮😂 Num num some nom nom😂😂😂❤
Really interesting!
I had this on my front yard! It start to produce some fruits this year
The taste of this reminds me of pineapple and guava!
I am visiting Japan soon, have you tried some exotic fruits from Japan?
Akebia might be in season depending on when you go. also a bunch of interesting citrus fruits. there's a Japan playlist on the channel for more info
Have u tried a green tangerine?
As I recall, rather vividly, green mango tastes like turpentine, and was not very palatable. That was my experience with a tree in my yard in Florida anyway. Nam nam was an interesting fruit, especially how it grew from the bark. Definitely a weird fruit.
Did you ever try maprang
I have that one filmed but not edited, it will be up next year!
I see that you're in Malaysia again. Considering the season, if you're still here, you might just find another rare durian species with the glut going on
I was there in December so unfortunately I missed it
this is not named after a pastry . it is other way arouund
Here in Sri Lanka we also call this nagn nagn or some call it nami nagn.
I
Hey, have you tried that wild looking Tik-tok corn on the cob looking fruit that feels like eating fiberglass if it's not ripe?
i tried vaguely googling this but didn't come up with anything. it sounds like you're describing arum plants (lords and ladies ? etc other colloquial names). if that's not it, do you have a link to any of these tik toks lol? i'm very curious.
Nice.
Odd attachment location for sure. Any relation to theobroma fruits? Also, let us recognize the sharpest knife used to date in this video!
Looks like something from planet x
I never heard about it.
Looks like something from the alien movie 🐛
I'm waiting for a face hugger to pop out one of these days
@@WeirdExplorer 😂😂😂😂
Can someone give me the Chinese name she mentions? It sounds like she's saying "senbei" (or possibly "shenbei" if she merges s-sh in her accent), I'm unfamiliar with the divinatory item they talk about and I can't find any Chinese words with the pinyin senbei/shenbei, nor can I find any page about the namnam that mentions a Chinese name for it
Interesting one
Reminds me of the time I accidentally walked into the bathroom and saw my grandfather bending over to pick up the soap.
Toad skin fruit! Does that sound like it should the title of a Captain Beefheart album or what?
Aside from Nam Nam and Jabuticaba, what other kind of fruit grows directly on tree bark?
bilimbi is another
Durian kura-kura (turtle Durian)
Try searching it on UA-cam
@@DuniaBaru-mg3mr Oh, good to know! I'm planning on doing a research project involving stemless/trunk-growing fruits.
I tried to grow it but failed im from Malaysia and from kelantan
Why is he eating a Metapod?
This video was not recommended to me, though I am subscribed.
That pastry the namnam is named after looks VERY MUCH like an empanada. Dang, I'm hungry now.
Head was in the sky all the way in, berlin
how does it grow off the bark? are there any other fruits that do that?
It’s called cauliflory. Another fruit that grows this way is Cacao.
@@riverAmazonNZ thanks thats cool
@@squibblesisyes

It really does look like a toad. I dont know if id be able to eat it. I kinda hate how pickles look for the same reason.
It looks a little like Noni so I was almost afraid for you to taste it.
Now that is bizarre
👍
Next episode: the Hardy Avocado!
Its an interesting one!
Jared, are you 6'6" or was Jenny just that short? lol
We sri Lankan call's it nami num ♥️
definitely weird, also definitely cool
I know this as "kopi asu" literally translated as "dog's coffee" so maybe the dog like em too
How tall are you
Dude, how tall are you? I realize this lady is probably short which makes you look even taller but dang.
This is a new one 😂
Fruity fruity nam nam
It looks like some sort of parasite or cocoon.
Careful around the water now.. it looked like something from One Piece world ;)
nom nom
Real life one piece fruit.
nam nam is a nom nom, confirmed
They are supposed to be much less tart
Early as can be…
❤️❤️
Ngl looks like a cocoon for some sort of caterpillar lol
My doctor gave me cream when that happened to me.
🤣
I never studied Mandarin, but when I taught English in Manchuria (or Dongbei if you are Chi-com and geography offends you because history is politicized), it seemed like /guo/ was being applied specifically to melons and curcubit fruits in that part of China. Maybe it is a generic for "big fruit," like sapote seems to have come from Nahuatl for almost any large, soft, non-cactus, edible fruit?
果 (guǒ) refers to fruit in general
水果 (shuǐguǒ, lit. "water-fruit") is the word for fruit on its own, and the element in used in the names of various fruits: 蘋果 (píngguǒ, 'apple'), 芒果 (mángguǒ, 'mango'), 牛油果 (niúyóuguǒ, 'avocado', lit. "butter[cow-oil]-fruit")
How tall are you 😂
You should ask the guest on how to cut and eat it. I’d rather see how the locals do it.
