Durian is almost always misrepresented in videos outside of Southeast Asia because of the use of crappy frozen stuff that is underripe and of unknown variety. Get some proper durian instead, maybe a "cat mountain king" or "D24" one. The Jackfruit looks underripe as well, it should have a slightly chewy texture and definitely not "like an apple".
That's quite impossible thing to do, majority of imported fruit were unripe, and by using ship, gonna take months to reach the destination And imported it by airplane also impossible, cuz it's banned in airport 😏 The most logical thing to do is visit the country that harvest the durian But of course the main course of this channel is not travel vlog, that's why i said it's impossible 😗
We used to have a jackfruit tree a few meters outside our living room. Whenever the fruit gets ripe, it gets insanely fragrant and would make our living room smell so good. We would eat about half of the fruit as is, and cook the rest into a jackfruit jam. Jackfruit jam tastes so good when paired with either some toast or some rice cakes.
Funny that some of these fruits are exotic to them while I grew up eating most of them. These are some things you don't really think about or appreciate as much because you just take it for granted... Great video!
You guys should try the yellow dragon fruit is very sweet, and the mangosteen and the rambutan fruit is delicious and also the rose water apples as well.
I’m Central American countries (El Salvador) el Mamey is also Zapote! Fun fact: the seed of the Zapote can be used to extract its oils and is said to help with hair growth. I’ve always wanted to love Dragon fruit but it just doesn’t grow on me.
Yeah, mamey is very good in smoothies. With a hint of vanilla scent! :V By the way, if someone comes to you saying that they know how to pick a ripe mamey... They're lying! :V Jackfruit? "yaca" in México. It's really good, but definitely ood looking fruit XD As Don Donato says, "pitahaya" is the name we give in México to the dragon fruit. Icecream made with it is just crazy... Hey, hey, hey, that "carambolo" (starfruit) isn't ripe yet XD You need to let them to turn a little brownish on the edges. Fresh water made with it it's on a whole new level. My mom maks atole with it :3 Guanaba (soursop) have a taste very good but hard to describe, really need to taste it yourself. If you ever come to Puebla city, try some fresh made sodas (refresco, as we say) with that flavor in a small bussiness named "Refresqueria Carmen" in Calle 2 Nte 611. And, as the passion fruit, the soda made with it was "sensao" by the Coca Cola Co. You can still find them in México city, at least in the Centro Histórico. Saludos desde Puebla.
12:38 I agree. Soursop has such a unique flavor. In juice, it hits you like whoah! What is this? And in a good way, refreshing, one of a kind. In a fruit, eaten fresh, it’s delicious. And it’s healthy ah. I wish soursop is more accessible here in the US because it has so much health benefits.
Passionfruit: Straight from the pod is yummy, especially with sugar. We had a tree/vine in our yard, lots of passionfruit drinks on Sunday. Big up my fave, jackfruit! 🇯🇲
You showed a picture of a soursop but you gave them a cherimoya. Same family, different species. Soursop has a different textture, and it's sweeter, therefor more delicious. In fact it is one of my favorite fruit here in the Philippines. We call it guyabano here.
I wouldn't say that guanabanas are sweeter than cherimoyas, but they're certainly different! I actually have a few cherimoya saplings growing right now, because our mature guanabana trees make fruits that are usually 15-20lbs and our freezer is now full of the pulp from like, 4 fruits! 😂
If you think Durian smells when it's already been cut up and sitting a bit, you should smell it when first cut it open! It's banned in many public places even in Asia.
there's only Jack Fruit (Nangka), Star Fruit (Bemimbing) & Dragon Fruit (Buah Naga) but there's no Hairy Fruit (Rambutan), Snake Fruit (Salak) also Mangosteen (Manggis) hehe 😸
Those passionfruit were not ripe enough, lol. They have to be slightly mottled, almost like a hammered metal texture. Jackfruit is an amazing fruit, the seed pods are really sweet, like candy and you can use the cooked white 'flesh' as a substitute for chicken or meat in general in a dish. That's probably what he is talking about when his wife cooks it. :)
I usually make a warm drink from tailings fruit that has been peeled and cut into pieces, then pour it into a glass with warm water and drink it. It tastes very refreshing, delicious and warm
The "golden berry" is a ground cherry. And it's in the nightshade family. So it is related to tomatillos and tomatoes. Those weren't fully ripe. There really sweet and not tart at all when there fully ripe. Those husk were greenish and not fully brown
The passion fruit is different from Brazil. It is big and yellow here. We have Sour sop, star fruit and jack fruit. My region star fruit and jack fruit are found in everywhere in rural area. My dad loves jack fruit. Here, there are some exotics fruits that I've never tried like açai or, pequi por example.
Mamey is SO good! We make mamey shakes with vanilla bean ice cream and milk and garnished with ground cinnamon. You can control how much mamey goes in and how "strong" the shake is. They tend to give you "watered-down" shakes in my area that have the thought of mamey but seems like not the actual fruit lol. Better just to make it at home! (Of course that's because mamey is readily available in-store in my area.) I'm only sad that they gave them a mamey that didn't look fully ripe. Maybe it's just preference, but I like them when it's very ripe and soft and bright-almost-neon orange. It's so much sweeter that way!
If you ever come to Costa Rica, find a feria/farmer's market. Many of the vendors there will break open fruits like these and let you try them, and will even show you how to eat them if it's not obvious. Happy travels!
We have soursop here in the US. On the east coast we call them pawpaw fruit. They only stay ripe for a super short time before spoiling so it's a big deal to get a nice bushel of them. The taste is so sweet and delicious and the texture is like pudding. It's like a banana and a mango had a baby. So good.
En la costa de Mexico, Nayarit Jalisco, comemos casi todas estas frustas exoticas. crecen naturalmente. Maracuya, carambolo(star fruit), mamey, lichi, etc. me sorprende que no lo hayan probado.
I grew up with this fruits, picking and eat it straight from the tree. i cant help myself seeing you guys ate them like that, you guys need to learn how to eat that properly like a Bolang
With the exception of jackfruit which is native to Asia, most of the fruits are either native to Mexico and Central & South America and sold in markets in Mexico.
I’ve had pretty much all these fruits, and my favorites are the durian and the jackfruit. The jackfruit is really easy to describe because it literally tastes like juicy fruit gum. Just be aware that the jackfruit produces a lot of latex. In fact, if you try to harvest the jackfruit before it’s ripe, it becomes an absolute sticky mess. Ripening reduces the latex content, but you’re still going to feel it on your skin. If you have a latex sensitivity, I would avoid this or just eat the canned version. Durian tastes like if an onion plant produced vanilla custard. It has a custard like taste and mouth feel, but there is that strong undercurrent of onion beneath it along with a little hint of rotten meat. Now you might think that sounds absolutely disgusting, but it’s similar to a really stinky cheese but super sweet and creamy.
Shout out to Donato!! He’s a English lit professor in Santa Ana, Ca 😎🤝🏼
I would've loved to have him as a teacher/professor! He seems so awesome! I bet he's a great professor. Too bad I'm in Texas ;-;
Love the new papah! Welcome Donato!

Black thorn and Musang king durian varieties are good too.
You're right, Jack fruit should be chewy, floral scented and very sweet taste❤
true hardcore durian lover will seek durian mawar,durian terong or durian jantong..bitter better
That's quite impossible thing to do, majority of imported fruit were unripe, and by using ship, gonna take months to reach the destination

You'll hate the fully ripened jackfruit. It becomes slimy pungent and a fermented taste.

@@Elle-vm3ge Costa Rica!
Qué afortunada eres!
@@Elle-vm3ge gracias!🥹
Exactly, in Perú too, we have the majority of these fruits and don’t think of them as exotic. Another thing to be appreciative of is the price.
Same in Brazil.
loving donato's energy
Happy to hear Donato's comments. And I loved the Mother in Law papaya comments followed but the "this is good.'
Donato has plenty of good things to say. I’m impressed.
What happened to the other guy with Glasses that made everything sound small. “Cafesito, Dulcesito, Sabrosito, Pansito” 🤔
Pobrecito perdio el trabajito.

This new guy is not Mexican.
@@omarmoran3097?
This new guy is like when the neighbor wants to come over to your Tios bbq, he's different but a cool guy
Donato gives me a “final boss” vibe….lol
Star apple, Asian pear, kiwi berries, sugar apple, lychee, yellow dragon fruit
LOL they gave him the rest of the Durian
Fruits like those are super common in Indonesia. ❤
I knew Donato looked familiar 😭 Best English profesor 🙌🏻 thank you for passing me at SAC😂☝🏼
Santa Ana college?
😂😂😂 *YALL DID THEM DIRTY WITH THAT UNRIPE MAMEY/SAPOCHE. THEY ARE BOMB SMOOTHIES!*
Exactly my thoughts. Mamey is delicious, almost as soft as papaya. If it wasn't sweet or soft, it wasn't ripe.
Papahs are amazing! Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I dunno if maybe I've missed it in previous videos of it was there, but I love the progress bar. Kudos to whoever added that
I think the last one is cherimoya, soursop is bigger, more spikey and less sweet.
You guys should try the yellow dragon fruit is very sweet, and the mangosteen and the rambutan fruit is delicious and also the rose water apples as well.
mangosteen is sooo good
I’m Central American countries (El Salvador) el Mamey is also Zapote! Fun fact: the seed of the Zapote can be used to extract its oils and is said to help with hair growth. I’ve always wanted to love Dragon fruit but it just doesn’t grow on me.
Let’s goo, always forget if it’s Wednesday or Thursday you guys make videos ha. Get pumped when I see a new one pop up haha
Donato is Cool👍🏽
Arturo's right! Golden berries & tomatillos are both types of gooseberries. So it makes sense they'd taste similar
Donato is def giving NY vibes 😅
I absolutely love Durian so much that it made me happy to see the papahs finally try durian
“I don’t think I’ll have it again, but I’m glad I tried it.” LOVEE THIS ENERGY!!! we should always2 try food at least one time ❤
❤❤❤❤ *IM ASIAN AND LEARNT THAT GOLDENBERRIES ARE EXOTIC FRUITS FROM SOUTH AM TODAY CAUSE THEY ACTUALLY GROW IN FRANCE AND PEOPLE PUT THEM ON CAKES* 😂😂
I love mamey in milkshakes. It's delicious.
Yeah, mamey is very good in smoothies. With a hint of vanilla scent! :V

Jackfruit is good shredded up and cooked with barbecue sauce. It is like pulled pork.
"carnitas" tacos with jackfruit
@@fmfdocbotl4358 That's a good idea 😋
@@MacieRivera a vegan friend of mine made them and they were great.

If you live anywhere near the Midwest, look for people selling Pawpaws in the early fall. They're cousins of the Guanabana and Cherimoya!
I tasted the Star Fruit in Guam. But they called it Star Apple! 😊😊😊😊
And here in Costa Rica, star apples are a totally different thing that locals call caimitos.
Alguien más le llama zapote al “mamey” jajajaja el Mamey es diferente en El Salvador
This was my favorite episode yet!
Gotta love how they compare a lot of the fruits with an apple texture, lol. StartFruit or the jackfruit isnt close to an apple texture..
Passionfruit: Straight from the pod is yummy, especially with sugar. We had a tree/vine in our yard, lots of passionfruit drinks on Sunday. Big up my fave, jackfruit! 🇯🇲
A majority of these fruits grow well in Jamaica, tropical fruits will tropic l O l
The mamey was underripe
Mamey is more red than orange when it’s ripe, this one wasn’t even close to being ready. Ripe mamey is 🔥
Have you ever tried mangosteen? it is at the same level as soursop or maybe higher. it's very delicious.
Isn't that a custard apple? It doesn't look like soursop, soursop is kind of stringy, kind of like cook jackfruit.
Thank God I live in Indonesia, because here we have all of these fruits ❤❤

I love to watch them while I eat
The last fruit is not a soursop. It’s a cherimoya!
Came here to say the same thing! That’s no guanabana!
Omg I was about to say the same thing
I don't think the last fruit was soursop, it is more like a chirimoya or custard apple.
I love your videos😊
If you think Durian smells when it's already been cut up and sitting a bit, you should smell it when first cut it open! It's banned in many public places even in Asia.
Just a heads up that was a cherimoya and not a soursop.
It's funny when the dad said to add taijin to the star fruit because that's exactly how I like to eat it too! lol
We Mexicans love fruit. Nearly all of my aunts and uncles had fruit trees. We had a cherry tree and it was the greatest.
I like the new guy.
Which of these fruits is your favorite?
DRAGÓN FRUIT 🐉🐉🐉🐉❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dragon fruit and longan
Passionfruit and Physalis
there's only Jack Fruit (Nangka), Star Fruit (Bemimbing) & Dragon Fruit (Buah Naga)
but there's no Hairy Fruit (Rambutan), Snake Fruit (Salak) also Mangosteen (Manggis) hehe 😸
Love Vicente. Hope he will be back soon
Please do Mexican dads rank Hispanic musicians
I like the new Latin Dad he’s got good energy he’s enthusiastic
I want them try different salsas especially spicy ones 😊
❤ yay to the dada

I usually make a warm drink from tailings fruit that has been peeled and cut into pieces, then pour it into a glass with warm water and drink it. It tastes very refreshing, delicious and warm
I like how there are about 7 people saying "first" when they were 12th.
The new guy is funny.
Had no clue what Mamey was until they pulled out a zapote 🇸🇻
Excellent video!!
It's interesting to see these fruits labeled as "exgotic" because they're growing in out yards here in Guyana 🇬🇾 Loved this episode🫶🏼
1:48 kayak Sawo
The explanation from Donato is top notch 👍
My carnales need to go to La Michoacana and get the maracuya ice cream.
I didnt know that was a thing like a bucket ?
That seems more like a cherimoya than guananbana
The "golden berry" is a ground cherry. And it's in the nightshade family. So it is related to tomatillos and tomatoes. Those weren't fully ripe. There really sweet and not tart at all when there fully ripe. Those husk were greenish and not fully brown
I really wonder what they do for work since they are typical Mexican dads but speak English very well

THEY NEED TO TRY DOMINICAN FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Dragón fruit is My favorite 😋😋😋😋🐉🐉🐉🐉
I haven't tried any of these. I see them in some of the countries I visit but have never been brave enough to try them!😁

You should have had Mangosteen in this video, the Queen of Fruit
Ouuu I love mamey. Some latin ice cream places have paletas de mamey and they are TOO good

The taste is so sweet and delicious and the texture is like pudding. It's like a banana and a mango had a baby. So good.
Pawpaws aren't guanabanas/soursop. But they didn't feed them either, and instead gave them another cousin to both, the cherimoya.
Man! A good number of these fruits grow in Mexico. These dads need to get out of the hood more often.
More of these please: Mangosteen, Duku, Snakefruits, Red Dragonfruit
Sour sop is one of my favorites. Nothing like it. I can eat a kilo of it in one sitting.
i really like donato he is so sweet
Very good content, not common but underrated fruits
Where is the dad with the glasses ???????? He is so cool
Lemon and tajin make everything better!!!
11:46 is a cherimoya
mamey?? is it like sawo??
Donato looks like my abuelo
Starfruit and salt, best combo
dragon fruit is SO GOOD! i want some now, dang.
