Tasting Japanese Raisin Tree Fruits - A Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- Today I'll be telling you all about the Japanese raisin tree and its unusual edible fruits, as well as tasting this weird Japanese fruit (it's actually from China originally before being cultivated a lot in Japan). The fruit are sometimes know as natures pretzel and taste a lot like sweet dried fruit.
I'll show you what the seeds look like and I'll look at growing these from seed in future, and share a video about that depending how it goes and if I have success with it.
Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis) is a very cold hardy tree surviving to -23 degrees C (-10F) if not colder.
Such a cool, novel and rare fruit! Hope you enjoy :)

I have grown a Raisin Tree from seed in my garden in South Africa and it has plenty of fruit, now I see how to harvest the fruit. Thank you for a great video.
That’s awesome. Glad it was helpful. Enjoy your fruits! 😉
We drink this here in Korea as an after hangover tea. It's really refreshing as a tea and helps with the typical indigestion that follows a hangover.
Wow that’s interesting!
Good to know , thank you!
Interesting...
@@TheKiwiGrower Fluid loss after drinking alcohol is often helped with drinking more (Non alcoholic) liquid, sugar also helps retain fluid. Some teas (Usually acerbic (bitter) flavours have been shown to help retain fluid, but that's from memory, not something I can directly refer to.)
Thank you, I just got Kwangdong brand drink with it inside.
I guess it had tannins in the stems until it dried out properly. Really weird looking novelty 👍
I had the Hovenia Dulcis tea drink and loved it.
so interesting, good luck with it,
thanks for your video, you taught me well
With all this edifying content, you should be called the Kiwi Show-er! 😂👍
🤣🤣👍
I had one of these trees...and they do tsste like raisins..
Nice one, did you use the ‘fruit’ much?
AAAAAAAAA! YES I AM SO EXITED TO WATCH ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEOOO!!!🌱🌱🌱😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🍒🍒🍒
Notifications on! :))
Can you try to grow those fruits, please! Your videos are so best, greatest quality, because most people won’t update, and u take the time to update and I love seeing all those tropical rare fruits being grown. Cheers!❤️🌱
Will do my best! :)
Lol For the last 30 something years I’ve been raking up those fruits by the yard waste bags full. Every Year. Not once did I think to eat one. Lol
I like your video 400th time
I am thinking of possibly getting a tree... thanks for sharing your experience!
Your welcome. Good luck growing it if you decide to get one :)
I am at Zone 9B close to 10 A , you think this tree would be suited well for my area ?
@@PlantsAmore Its a temperate tree.I grow it outdoor in zone 6.I think it needs cold.
@@mihaiilie8808 thank you, one of my fruit collector friend growing two at Naples Fl . Trees are young yet so not sure how it will work out for him. It’s a pretty interesting tree though! Is it worth to grow it ? What’s your opinion?
@@PlantsAmore I saw this tree fruit in Homestead, FL so definitely possible to grow this one throughout Florida!
Mine struggled the first couple of years and now finally is growing a bit. It seems like they really are sensitive while they're young.
They don't respond well to replanting either. It had flowers but didn't produce any fruit yet. I'm from zone 8a (the netherlands)
Cool hopefully it will produce soon! :) how old is it?
@@TheKiwiGrower next season it might. It now goes into its 5th winter i believe.
How did you go with growing this from seed? Would love to see an update video 🙏🏼
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Have you tried Babaco or Champagne fruit?
Apparently it’s a cooler tolerant relative of the papaya.
I’ve tried the fruit but never grown it, the fruit get really big ay. Might look into growing this at some point :)
Good luck if you do! 😎👍
Technically, what we think of as the tiny seeds outside a strawberry are actually the fruits and the fleshy part is swollen recepticle tissue, not a swollen ovary as in true fruits. But the fleshy part functions the same as true fruits. Weird little tasty things! Anyway, just planted one of these and can't wait to dig in to the peduncles! Great to know about the astringency of the fresh fruit (like some persimmons but not as strong, maybe?), will try drying them out as well. And protecting them from frosts when small. Mine os over two meters, so hopefully it will survive the next winter. Thanks for the info!
MATAO you should plant dude, MATAO is the real Forest tropis fruit, taste really good, sweet and juicy.
Hi I knew that plant when i was kids and really loved to eat those funny looking little fingers. And called it monkey grapes. I would like to get some seed or to buy a little plant if you some for sale. Please let me know I'm quite exited to that plant is here in Mew Zealand I saw that fruit anymore. Thank you for sharing.
I have got seeds planted but no luck yet with any signs of life. Soaking the seeds in hot water for 24 hours first is meant to help with germination too. :)
Fingers crossed for you :). Have heard they can sometimes take a very long time. I’ve tried lots of methods at once and have 2 that have just sprouted from the scarified seeds :).
@@TheKiwiGrower Oh wow 2!! That is great. How long did these take to germinate?
Around 3 weeks to a month. Hopefully will have more pop up but we’ll see!
I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!😭😭😭😭
PLS POST ANOTHER VIDEO😍😍😍😍🙃🙃🙃🙃lol
Guava grow from seed? Perhaps
Haha it’s coming soon. Will be all about White Sapote :)
@@TheKiwiGrower 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
CANT WAIT!!!☺️☺️☺️☺️
BEST VIDEOS EVER YESS 🤜🤛😁
Have you grown vanilla?
How old is the raisin tree is and i never heard of a raisin tree before
That drying sensation you're speaking of is called being "astringent." An easy way to experience this is to take a bite out of a raw green banana, especially the peel. I lived in Southeast Asia for a couple years and they actually consider this a flavor and give it a specific name. At least in Thai they call it "fād" or ฝาด.
Or lick the water from the cut end of a banana tree 😂
Most astringent thing I've ever tasted. They told me not to, but I wanted to see
Wow never heard of it, where’d you get them?
Someone I met online sent me some :)
You can make tea on that,,its good on liver
Firstly, FIRST!
That's a pretty out-there fruit or stick??😂
Interesting though. Would you describe the drying out of your mouth was like eating an astringent persimmon?😬
Actually yes, like an astringent sort of feeling. But once dried that went away fully :)
Do you get snow in Your area in New Zealand in the winter?
No just frost here. No snow at all :)
TheKiwiGrower your lucky :) we get lots of snow in the winter
Whatever happened to the coconut palm you grew 8 years ago.?
Hi there, sadly I had to leave it behind with my parents when I move out to the city and it didn’t survive. Might have another go at growing one at some point though :)
Crazy
Did the fresh ones dry your mouth out similarly to a not-yet-ripe persimmon?
Yup quite similar to that :)

Why Raisin Tree?
Proving the Authenticity of Raisin Tree (Hovenia dulcis) as a Hangover Prevention
Traditional Chinese medical literature describes the state of being drunk, intoxicated or hungover, under the category of jiu du or wine alcohol poisoning.
The hi ju zi or fruit of the Japanese Raisin Tree (Hovenia dulcis) is also called suanzaozi, which means "sour jujube kernel”.
Every part of the tree has medicinal properties - extracts from the tree bark contain detoxification effects while its leaf helps to reduce lipids in the blood and prevent liver damage; but it was discovered that its fruits offer the most effective health benefits.
Traditionally used as an effective herb for centuries to promote better liver function, Hovenia Dulcis has also been listed and documented in major ancient medical literature, including the Compendium of Materia Medica and Materia Medica of Tang.
The use of zhi ju zi (fruit of the Raisin tree) to treat jiu du was first recorded in the Tang Ben Cao (659 A.D.), considered to be the first official publication containing a list of medicinal drugs with their effects and directions for their use in the
Do you know the botanical name or Latin name for this tree?
Hovenia dulcis :)
Hello
Astringent is what he dry mouth feeling comes from kind like an unripe persimmon
Never herd of that there tiny
Yea they are fairly small. The good thing about them though is the trees are hugely prolific which makes up for the fruits being on the small side :)
New chanel Kalum?
Had this channel going for quite a few years actually :)
