You've just seen the top ten fruit that I liked the least. Now see the ones I liked the best! TOP 10 Best fruit in the world: ua-cam.com/video/17gFCm18LKw/v-deo.html
Put sugar on the woodapple (depends on how sweet you like it but the ones I always have are not dirt-y, maybe a little riper or a better one) and mix it. If it's not ripe, eat it with seasoning or whatever it's called. Do you know knor? Put knor with preferred amount of sugar and dip the unripened woodapple in it. Idk how you'll feel about it but....yeah. That's how I eat those
The wood apple that you tasted is a rotten one .The wood apple(Limonia Acidissima) and a Bael fruit(also called as stone apple or Bengal quince (Aegle Marmelos) ) are two different fruits, their botanical names are also different. Wood apple has a sour and sweet taste when ripe. Ripe means it has a faint sweet smell and when you break open it's kind of deep beige color inside and indians use it to make chutneys and eat in snacks .Bael fruit is used to make sherbets especially in summer season.Someone definitly gave you a dark rotten wood apple . Also, soapnut is not to be eaten and its use for hair wash in most parts of india .Once dried it is broken along with the seed and soaked in warmwater and after sometime we squeeze it to get that soapy water and it safe and natural way to wash hairs.
You don’t eat Amala ( Goose berry) like that, you put it in your mouth and suck on it ( may be bite it time to time). water tastes flavourful and sweet after you had one.
When I was a kid, we had some noni juice that my mom bought and left in the fridge for years because she couldn't bring herself to actually drink it. Me and my brothers would challenge eachother to noni juice drinking challenges just to torture ourselves. I can still remember exactly what it tasted like.
@@SoundsOfSushi i had a plant of that fruit, it is bitter and has some cheese like flavor but what truly makes it bad is the odor, it smells like expired milk with a bit of a citric fragance
In south of Iran we have a lot of Glueberry trees It's called "Sepeston" in here It tastes is sucks but we dry it in the summer and in winter We make tea with it for sore throats and colds When i was kid I used this fruit instead of glue to make kites
I never heard of that use for it. Very interesting. I'll have to try this next time I see it. When you make the tea, do you prepare the fruit any special way, or use the whole fruits with the seeds?
I don't know man, I kind of like those bloated grapes at the bottom of the fruit cocktail. To be fair though, I come from a proud line of lunch ladies.
@@WeirdExplorer ur suppose to mix those wood apples with pink salt,brown sugar and half burnt dry chilli(take a whole dry chilli and burn it a little bit)
I love how you always look so perpetually worried while delivering info on the fruit you try. I get informed but feel highly concerned at the same time.
i think you have the world record for most different kinds of fruit eaten... you're probably like the world's leading fruit expert (or at least expert that's tried the most fruit). btw, i started buying random odd-looking fruit to eat with my nephew after showing him some of your videos. he likes dragonfruit now! thanks for the entertainment.
noni fruit is called "mengkudu"..and yes the overripe fruit are smell like turd. more often when it got all over the road and smashed by cars..man, the awfulness smell of turd is miles away...but, it has tremendous amount of health benefit..according to old folks.
In southern India you get gooseberry dipped in salt and chili powder and that cuts the sourness and makes it pretty tasty. Great to munch on while visiting old temples!
Exactly here in Senegal we do that too but we add sugar, pepper and some bouillons maybe or we basically boil the in all these spices and it becomes mushy but really good tho
I used to love those as a kid.. its impossible to get them here, but finding one of those plants growing somewhere was such an awesome treat. I remember there wwere several of these plants growing next to my friend's house, and it was an old abandoned house so we climbed in there and came back with several bags worth. Everytime I visit India, I look for them but they are so hard to find, and you can only get the bigger bitter amla. salt + chilli powder on that or raw mangoes is one of my favorite things. can't imagine putting sugar on them though.
I'm from Southern India too and we make sweet pickles with gooseberries. We also make stews,chutney or sometimes steam them with salt,ginger and chilly powder.
That gooseberry happens to be my favourite item to pickle. I have a tree overlooking my window and the light green, start shaped berries are treat for sore eyes
*screams into pillow while in painful disgust -when someone has that kind of reaction you'd expect to hear something like disgusting/putrid/nasty maybe some swearing but then just "not very good" that made me smile
I love that you actually tried to eat the soapberry. My nephew and I collected some locally and cooked it down into a soap "syrup". We never thought about eating it....
#9 it's Amla, very good and has lot of medicinal benefits. They are candied and are consumed for digestion #4 it's a sour wood apple or Kodbel. We generally mash the inner flesh along with jaggary or sugar and salt before eating or storing them by making small balls and sun-drying them. Try it some day. It's good
Amla juice with dried sour plum. Sweet sour and refreshing. Or Amla raw with soy sauce and chili flakes and a bit of sugar. Or just with some salt and chili flakes.
Oh man i laughted my ass off your descriptions. The last fruit i had already seen in the ground, i thought It was poisonous, not even the birds eat them so they just accumulate and rot
But i would give a good one hundred dol to see one munch it haha. He should really go around the world eating the worst fruit that earth can grow, his reactions are gold.
I just got the best tomatillos and made salsa. That was great! Thanks for sharing that they are poor when they are yellow. I will eat my last one before that bad boy gets there.
The Lao Gooseberry, we called it Jimbilin in Jamaica, it is very nice, when it's not too green. It can used to make drinks and jams. It nice man, don't let it seems so bad 😊
Those indian gooseberries. Lol I remember eating 10's and 20's of them raw in my childhood. The flower shaped ones, They are sour but theres a tint if sweetness in it which is very tasty.
Such a great video! I absolutely LOVED the narration over the old clips! You should always do “top lists” this way. It’s the perfect way to add new information to content many of us have seen (likely many times each!) exciting and new again!
People are correct when they tell you that your woodapple was probably rotten (and u probably cant tell the difference by the look of it, i bet rotten ones look the same) limonia acidissima. I know for a fact i had woodapples, not bael fruit, in sri lanka. it is kind of annoying that they get mixed up so often. The one you had was most definitely defective in some way. I had several and even the nectar beverage. It tastes great, like tangy apple cider and a little bit like brown sugar. the texture takes some getting used to and i personally dont like the smell, but they taste very good and I highly recommend you try it again, maybe with a local who knows which are good or bad. btw I think it is rambutan and mangosteen season because i keep picking them up at stores (in nyc)
Weird Explorer try dry chilli peppers with brown sugar in woodapples and it’s a thing in my country to kinda burn it a little bit. I don’t mean dry chilli powder tho, I mean a whole dry chilli(a little one as to not make it too spicy).Oh and don’t completely burn the whole thing, just burn it a little and blow the fire out. The taste and aroma will be something different for sure.
I agree I hated it as a child when it was available all the time. Now as an adult I would love to try them again with a spoon of honey or sugar or sugar alternatives. 🙂🍫🍫🍫🍫
Szechuan pepper. All that and "it makes your tongue VIBRATE". I believe you but I've heard it all, LOL. I enjoy the spice myself and was surprised it was so harsh to you.
green peppercorns is indeed VERY intense, but once you get use to it! it's a very good spice! so many famous Sichuan dishes use fresh green peppercorn.
It's been two years from your video. I noticed you mentioned cempedak. In Malaysia, we rarely eat cempedak on its own because of the characteristic that you have mentioned in your video. We either coated it with batter and fried them or make sweet porridges with them. Coating them with batter will reduce the sliminess and cooking them in porridges will make it releases it's sweetness. Jackfruit is also used to make porridges though some people like to eat the fruit raw due to its firmness. I hope you will be able to try fried cempedak sometimes. 🥰
Concerning the wood apple vs bael fruit thing; idk if you came to this conclusion already on your own, you probably did, but here it looks like you were thinking that bael fruit and wood apple were different things because you had only seen over-ripened wood apple, but they actually are the same thing. I believe the region that refers to them as wood apples lets them over-ripen so it can be used for jams, and the region that refers to it as bael fruit barely let it get to full ripeness, so you pretty much got their on your own they just aren’t different fruit :) I saw that you got a good wood apple earlier this year so maybe you do already know.
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe that’s why you had a hard time finding wood apple; because you were in the region that would normally refer to it as bael fruit maybe? The guy who sold you the under-ripened wood apple maybe came from the wood apple region but knew the locals wouldn’t buy it once it turned? 🤷♂️
When it comes to bad fruit...better you than me. When it comes to fruit like "egg of the sun mango" or merange....wish it was me and not you...ok, we share.
Why does a weird fruit explorer never carry anything that he might need to open fruit? At the very least, a 'Swiss Army Knife' and a small hammer. Even in the tame and poorly fruited UK I used to rarely go for countryside walks without a good collection of tools and bags and long sticks,for bringing back foraged goodies. Am drinking 42y old elderberry wine at the moment, as a result. Tastes just like Summer! :)
If you have a tree around do try them, they taste good ripe but not so ripe they fall off the tree, have someone experienced pick out the right ones for you. They are not very tasty, they have a very very mild fruity flavour and have an aftertaste like pepper, the aftertaste is probably stronger than the actual flavour of the fruit.
I thought I was the only one who thought Juniper berries are just really gross. My mom used to harvest them for medicinal and religious reasons and kept them in a little jar. I tried to make a tea out of them one time and the bitterness stayed with me for a good day or so.
I'm sure that it depends on the variety you eat. The one I tried was a shaggy bark juniper (I think). I did have another type of juniper at the same time, but they spoiled before I could work up the nerve to try it. To me it tasted like eating raw rosemary, and like rosemary I think it might be great if used as a seasoning, but I wouldn't recommend it raw.
Wood Apple is called Kob Bel not bail fruits which is yellow on the inside but wood apple is brown on the Inside. It is actually the most famous street food in Bangladesh. I used to eat it everyday with my friends after school.We eat the pulp with spices and lime zest and it tasted like spicy,sour deliciousness....well now that I think of it...maybe all of these fruits have a certain way they are eaten were they were originated...you just have to find out what's the best way to eat them and try that out maybe?.. Haha poor dude really tried all these fruits raw. He's committed gotta give him that.
You know nothing about the king of fruit. Not fart but Burp !!! Tigers, elephants and beats do hunt these fruits in the bush. It make your little pecker, Vavavroom ! No Viagra needed. Don't eat the frozen one or from Thailand . They ate lower quality and have bad taste !
He is definitely don’t have a good taste buds on good fruits specially as durian, chempedak and other Asian fruits . Maybe he can stick to eat his hamburgers or hotdogs.
Gabriel, you can said what ever you like because that’s your opinion. Look at all the comments and its telling the truth about that he definitely doesn’t have good taste bud on Asian food.
The goose berries you showed around 1:46 are called Ma-kham pom in Thai. Mostly used as cough syrup ingredient in ayuravedic medicine. It really soothes throat sores. People dip them in salt and chilli and have them as snacks. The more ridged type of goose berries (2:04) you show is another type we call Ma-yhom. This one is just sour and we snack on them like sourbomb candies.
Totally agree with Noni. the Wood Apple I believe is called Borojo in my country. if it is the same one, than it is delicious in juice with a bit of lime. just like passion fruit, it is really not meant to be eaten without a bit of sugar.
Gooseberries in Latvia taste very good. Very nice, very sweet, juicy, tough skin, makes for good ice cream flavor as well. My grandma had some growing.
Hah, I am reminded of your description of noni often as there is a variegated noni plant available on Ebay and has been for quite a while probably thanks to your series. Also I am the guy that suggested the many colors and shapes of habanero pepper for a video. Just wanted to add to that, that I don't know how much of a vegetarian you are but having some dairy drink available when doing a video on habaneros would be a good thing. Either milk, ice cream or sour cream will all work. Water not so much.
cool vids, i really dig seeing just how many strange fruits there are, growing up in america you have a staple and while good limited number of fruits if you dont live on the coast or in a large city with a port and you dont ever consider just how much you dont get to see because it just cant be shipped cost effectively, awesome awesome vids.
That's funny Campedak is my favorite Artocarpus. There are over 100 varieties. Maybe you got a bad one. Also Indian gooseberry so good! I love sour fruits tho
His cempedak is so tiny and soft. I don't know if it's just different varieties. Don't know if his, is the ones people normally eat. But the ones I see are not supposed to be as big as anyone's head. It's supposed to be twice as long as a person's head. And when you open it up, the insides are not soft and mushy like durian.
The reason I love cempedak is because I've been eating it since I was little, although extremely sticky, it's really good if you remove the seed and the part of the meat that's surrounding it.
You made this old mad smile and laugh out loud on a few. I spent 10 years in south east Asia and ate some god awful foods so you made me laugh. But I have to say I also had some very delicious foods. That is why I visit Asian super markets in St.Paul MN. I woke up in a lot of pain and your video was the first video of the day. TY Smile
Awesome video, super entertaining. Here after watching your pomelo, grapefruit, orange, tangelo, mandarin, tangerine video. I was trying to show my gf what a tangelo was. Thanks for the entertaining explanation :D
And, while we're on the subject of spicy, would you perhaps be interested in trying some weird chillies? I can't send them to you, since I'm in the UK and their uniqueness will be far more apparent fresh but Trinidad Perfumes and Farmers' Market Jalapeños are both quite different. The Trinidad Perfume is essentially a heatless pepper (officially rated at under 500 Scoville) but it's not a capsicum annuum like the vast majority of other heatless peppers. Instead, it's the same species as Habaneros and Scotch Bonnets (capsicum chinense) and is marketed as having the similar flavour to those. Where as the Farmers' Market Jalapeño is as hot as any other Jalapeño but completely different in appearance and texture. Its weird, woody brown appearance has earnt it the nickname of "Potato Jalapeño" and is a extreme form of the corking (basically scarring or stretch marking) that occurs when a pepper grows too fast for its skin. Unlike the Perfume, I haven't tried these but I hear that they have serious crunch.
I just filmed three pepper episodes, which should be coming up in the future and have more planned. I'll look out for these, they look very interesting!
Just a SUGGESTION! Oil (cooking oil is what I use) up your hands and tools when preparing jack fruit. It still might be sticky, but once you cover it in some rice (it’s actually the powder that come off it) it will make it better.
hey hi ,i'm from india. if i am not wrong gooseberry means" amla" One of the easiest ways to eat amla "indian gooseberry" is to cut the fruit and eat it raw. To balance the sour taste, sprinkle salt on it. ... This will help enhance the taste and make it easier to consume the fruit. You can also boil amla in water along with turmeric powder and salt and then eat it once it cools down.

U should try to eat them by making a paste of it with chilli, sugar or jaggery and a bit of mustard oil and coriander leaves.... They taste amazing

Concerning the wood apple vs bael fruit thing; idk if you came to this conclusion already on your own, you probably did, but here it looks like you were thinking that bael fruit and wood apple were different things because you had only seen over-ripened wood apple, but they actually are the same thing. I believe the region that refers to them as wood apples lets them over-ripen so it can be used for jams, and the region that refers to it as bael fruit barely let it get to full ripeness, so you pretty much got their on your own they just aren’t different fruit :) I saw that you got a good wood apple earlier this year so maybe you do already know.
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe that’s why you had a hard time finding wood apple; because you were in the region that would normally refer to it as bael fruit maybe? The guy who sold you the under-ripened wood apple maybe came from the wood apple region but knew the locals wouldn’t buy it once it turned? 🤷♂️
Man the deep fried cempedak is honestly one of the best deep fried foods out there
This is what I wanted! Very descriptive ways to express the taste of these fruits!...thank you!🙂
Hahah. That should now forever be how you describe Noni to people Jared lol. Noni ~ A horrible Turd of A Fruit... . . . So great.
"tastes like you ate some cheddar then vomited that cheddar onto a lemon and ate it again."
@@BibleStorm locally known as shit fruit, or rotten cheese fruit......best use we found as kids is playing high steaks brandy/dodge ball
Watching your videos continuously from 2 days 😅😂
New subscriber ❣️
When it comes to bad fruit...better you than me. When it comes to fruit like "egg of the sun mango" or merange....wish it was me and not you...ok, we share.
My grandma has like a noni tree and when it gets too ripi the whole garden smells of it...so gross, and she insists me that I should try 😔
Same here funny enough...
Your description of the noni tasting like puked up cheese on a lemon is HILARIOUS! I nearly passed out laughing!!!
You gave me a good laugh when I least expected it. Glad I saw this channel.
hey i love cempedak...... if u make cempedak fritters, its lovely
Why does a weird fruit explorer never carry anything that he might need to open fruit? At the very least, a 'Swiss Army Knife' and a small hammer. Even in the tame and poorly fruited UK I used to rarely go for countryside walks without a good collection of tools and bags and long sticks,for bringing back foraged goodies. Am drinking 42y old elderberry wine at the moment, as a result. Tastes just like Summer! :)
ah dang, my house has a ton of Nonis around it
I've never worked up the courage to actually eat one of em tho
dont do it!
@@WeirdExplorer noni are good for health though some makes tea and coffe out of it
I'll eat all your noni!
If you have a tree around do try them, they taste good ripe but not so ripe they fall off the tree, have someone experienced pick out the right ones for you.
They are not very tasty, they have a very very mild fruity flavour and have an aftertaste like pepper, the aftertaste is probably stronger than the actual flavour of the fruit.
the elderly like ripe noni, but the youngster boil them for birthday prank. The unripe ones tho, usually used for rujak.
Do you think that Noni will ever be displaced from the #1 slot?
I fear the day...but probably :/
I enjoyed this video best of all, absolutely hilarious. You're a naturally funny guy and this was too funny.
You need to try a juniper berry. I'm sure it would make a future list of worst fruits. Be prepared for the taste to linger last all day long.
I thought I was the only one who thought Juniper berries are just really gross. My mom used to harvest them for medicinal and religious reasons and kept them in a little jar. I tried to make a tea out of them one time and the bitterness stayed with me for a good day or so.
A good juniper tastes like orange zest
I’ve tasted juniper berries. The flavor wasn’t so bad, but it did linger for while. If I might ask, what is their religious use?
Gary Cooper Theyre used to damn the consumer to hell
I'm sure that it depends on the variety you eat. The one I tried was a shaggy bark juniper (I think). I did have another type of juniper at the same time, but they spoiled before I could work up the nerve to try it.
To me it tasted like eating raw rosemary, and like rosemary I think it might be great if used as a seasoning, but I wouldn't recommend it raw.
Wood Apple is called Kob Bel not bail fruits which is yellow on the inside but wood apple is brown on the Inside. It is actually the most famous street food in Bangladesh. I used to eat it everyday with my friends after school.We eat the pulp with spices and lime zest and it tasted like spicy,sour deliciousness....well now that I think of it...maybe all of these fruits have a certain way they are eaten were they were originated...you just have to find out what's the best way to eat them and try that out maybe?.. Haha poor dude really tried all these fruits raw. He's committed gotta give him that.
You can tell someone has ate durian when they fart.
ha never heard that one
Thank you for the information :'D
Yeahh absolutely.. or while theyre talk to you in closely. Haha
You know nothing about the king of fruit. Not fart but Burp !!!
Tigers, elephants and beats do hunt these fruits in the bush. It make your little pecker, Vavavroom ! No Viagra needed. Don't eat the frozen one or from Thailand . They ate lower quality and have bad taste !
@@amrozh755 yes I have seen this durian vavavroom happen!
i just subbed and ur vids are awesome! 😄😄😄😄
Oh come on. Cempedak isn't that bad. We call it cooking gas fruit. LOL!
Cempedak sedap cik ooi 😂
He is definitely don’t have a good taste buds on good fruits specially as durian, chempedak and other Asian fruits . Maybe he can stick to eat his hamburgers or hotdogs.
@@albertchu7926 well, I guess different tastes for people doesn't exist.
I guess that everyone has to like what you like.
Gabriel, you can said what ever you like because that’s your opinion. Look at all the comments and its telling the truth about that he definitely doesn’t have good taste bud on Asian food.
It's the same for soup. Asian soup is water to western taste bud, and western soups are gravy for us. Everyone lives with it.
Noni's description man, I'm literally crying in laughter 😂
I knew what number 1 was going to be. HA!
Let me guess.....? Uhhhh idk jackfruit?
Wrong it was noni lol
Jackfruit is delicious!
The goose berries you showed around 1:46 are called Ma-kham pom in Thai. Mostly used as cough syrup ingredient in ayuravedic medicine. It really soothes throat sores. People dip them in salt and chilli and have them as snacks. The more ridged type of goose berries (2:04) you show is another type we call Ma-yhom. This one is just sour and we snack on them like sourbomb candies.
Cempedak is very good, though you ate the unripe one (small and not the right color)
You can also eat the seeds
I love how you got so much more comfortable and outgoing on the camera over the years
Totally agree with Noni. the Wood Apple I believe is called Borojo in my country. if it is the same one, than it is delicious in juice with a bit of lime. just like passion fruit, it is really not meant to be eaten without a bit of sugar.
Gooseberries in Latvia taste very good. Very nice, very sweet, juicy, tough skin, makes for good ice cream flavor as well. My grandma had some growing.
He’s talking about the gooseberries in SE Asia, which are different from the traditional gooseberries
Hah, I am reminded of your description of noni often as there is a variegated noni plant available on Ebay and has been for quite a while probably thanks to your series. Also I am the guy that suggested the many colors and shapes of habanero pepper for a video. Just wanted to add to that, that I don't know how much of a vegetarian you are but having some dairy drink available when doing a video on habaneros would be a good thing. Either milk, ice cream or sour cream will all work. Water not so much.
Just filmed a few with a glass of milk on hand :)
Vodka works even better! Not a joke - it is the best solvent to get rid of the uncomfortable chemicals!
I just found your channel, love it, since i love fruit specially rare one, we should care endangered fruit species like endagered animal too
You should do stand up.
You're hilarious!
Glad to hear it. I make my living as an entertainer. Not stand up, but comedic contortion/sideshow.
LOL! I love your descriptions! Too funny!
Nice Space Ghost shirt!
cool vids, i really dig seeing just how many strange fruits there are, growing up in america you have a staple and while good limited number of fruits if you dont live on the coast or in a large city with a port and you dont ever consider just how much you dont get to see because it just cant be shipped cost effectively, awesome awesome vids.
That's funny Campedak is my favorite Artocarpus. There are over 100 varieties. Maybe you got a bad one.
Also Indian gooseberry so good! I love sour fruits tho
Fried cempedak so yummy
His cempedak is so tiny and soft. I don't know if it's just different varieties. Don't know if his, is the ones people normally eat. But the ones I see are not supposed to be as big as anyone's head. It's supposed to be twice as long as a person's head. And when you open it up, the insides are not soft and mushy like durian.
yeah cempedak is good maybe he should ask the seller if the fruit is ripe or not
or after you buy it just let it sit in your house for 1-2 days if its not ripe.
Wow, I always thought Wood apple was the other one you described. I learned something new.
Aye, I've been looking forward to your third version of worst fruit! Are you going to do another video on your top ten best fruit?
The reason I love cempedak is because I've been eating it since I was little, although extremely sticky, it's really good if you remove the seed and the part of the meat that's surrounding it.
😂😂😂 'IT'S NOT VERY GOOD' what an understatement.
:)
this channel should have at least 10million subs.
You made this old mad smile and laugh out loud on a few. I spent 10 years in south east Asia and ate some god awful foods so you made me laugh. But I have to say I also had some very delicious foods. That is why I visit Asian super markets in St.Paul MN. I woke up in a lot of pain and your video was the first video of the day. TY Smile
I'm happy to hear that! feel better
Thank you for this video ! 😊💐
Yea the #1 pick was super predictable...dreadful tasting fruit it is.
Awesome video, super entertaining. Here after watching your pomelo, grapefruit, orange, tangelo, mandarin, tangerine video. I was trying to show my gf what a tangelo was. Thanks for the entertaining explanation :D
In indonesia we deep frying jackfruit so it will become crispy.. it is totally good
This guy know nothing bro. He just eat cheese n biscuit
I like yellow tomatillos lmao I used to grow them
Cempedak! the 1st part u describe the fruit is so true. not the 2nd part tho. haha. i love cempedak. 1 of my most fav fruit
I weirdly impressed that you got the sync to stick when you said "stick together" at 1:19
And, while we're on the subject of spicy, would you perhaps be interested in trying some weird chillies? I can't send them to you, since I'm in the UK and their uniqueness will be far more apparent fresh but Trinidad Perfumes and Farmers' Market Jalapeños are both quite different.
The Trinidad Perfume is essentially a heatless pepper (officially rated at under 500 Scoville) but it's not a capsicum annuum like the vast majority of other heatless peppers. Instead, it's the same species as Habaneros and Scotch Bonnets (capsicum chinense) and is marketed as having the similar flavour to those.
Where as the Farmers' Market Jalapeño is as hot as any other Jalapeño but completely different in appearance and texture. Its weird, woody brown appearance has earnt it the nickname of "Potato Jalapeño" and is a extreme form of the corking (basically scarring or stretch marking) that occurs when a pepper grows too fast for its skin. Unlike the Perfume, I haven't tried these but I hear that they have serious crunch.
I just filmed three pepper episodes, which should be coming up in the future and have more planned. I'll look out for these, they look very interesting!
"It makes you feel like you're going to die." This destroyed me lmao, oh my god.
Wood apple is not meant to eat just like that directly, we prepare juice out of it by adding jaggery and it will be very yum...
Drink water after a goose berry you will be amazed .
Mostly we eat it raw man . That is what it famous . Sorry if I'm late😁
Mouth feels sweet after eating amla
Jack fruit is grown in Jamaica , I love it
Jack Fruit is Indian
Cempedak is like fusion between jackfruit and durian
Just a SUGGESTION!
Oil (cooking oil is what I use) up your hands and tools when preparing jack fruit.
It still might be sticky, but once you cover it in some rice (it’s actually the powder that come off it) it will make it better.
So noni is a fruit??? I live in Hawaii and I see these on the ground everywhere and they look like overgrown caterpillars
hey hi ,i'm from india. if i am not wrong gooseberry means" amla"
One of the easiest ways to eat amla "indian gooseberry" is to cut the fruit and eat it raw. To balance the sour taste, sprinkle salt on it. ... This will help enhance the taste and make it easier to consume the fruit. You can also boil amla in water along with turmeric powder and salt and then eat it once it cools down.
Seeing your #1 pick makes me laugh . I can't believe you tried that horrible thing .
Hey! number 9 is Averrhoa acidus, same genus of starfruit (carambola) or bilimbi, both very sour fruits as well. Thanks for all the great videos!!
Oh interesting in lower Mexico we call the "tomatillo" just green tomatoes, interesting (fun fact: they are more related to gooseberry than tomatoes)
How many stomach aches did you get from all this? Some fruits are poisonous. How did you know what was safe to eat?
goose berry eat with salt
When I found this channel, I was inspired to try every fruit. Now I'm good. The good fruits will travel to me.
