@S Mavi actually the strawberry itself is the inflated flower stem. The little "seeds" are the fruits. So not really fused together, but still on the same strawberry
Please try a savory (ish) banana. It's called "saba". In the Philippines, we have to cook it with sugar so it tastes like, well, banana-ey. We also add it to savory soups to give a subtle sweetness. It has a super hard skin and you have to cut it with a knife.
@Anelle Savares I've had sweet kashmiri banana and creamy Keralan plantain dishes before but I wasn't thinking of either when I posted that. Just of how savoury banana could fit into a dish with, say, coconut milk and cinnamon leaves.
If you had asked me before the video what they looked like based on the thumbnail, I would have been legit flummoxed Edit- it kinda skirts trypophobia-inducing, doesn't it?
talking about freaky banana, there's one freaky banana that native to Papua island in Indonesia, it's a giant banana, Musa Ingens. The tree can grow up to 25 meter high and have 2 meter diameter at the bottom. The fruit itself can grow more than 20 cm long. They can harvest up to 60 kg of banana from 1 tree. Unfortunately, it's quite hard to find outside Papua.
The best way to tell if a banana, or almost any fruit, is ripe, is by smell. A ripe banana should have a rich, mellow, sweet smell, not the slightly acrid, green smell of an unripe banana. It’s not wrong to say you can judge by softness, except that some banana varieties are softer than others when ripe. So it takes experience with the particular variety. If you have one of the firm varieties, it will never get as soft (before it rots) as one of the softer varieties.
I love the fact we can be so passionate by something like fruit, its juste so humble and calm. The opposite would be something like sex and politics...
So cool they are almost grafted together over time of growing. Also my eyes lit up when you said Miami fruit! I bought some cacao pods from them. Small world!
Well if all else fails and you accidentally peel an adjoining banana, chop it up and freeze it for smoothies/shakes! =) EDIT: OH! My exotic fruit order is due to arrive tomorrow and I have the Daca/red banana to try! I also have two dried varieties to try, one is "apple banana" and the other I can't remember ^-^'
So it's a fruit consisting of several smaller fruits stuck together to form a larger fruit, like the ananas/pineappple but with bananas? I'll call it a banananas
*Bananas, talking to Nature before existing:* ... and I want a *flamethrower* , and *fangs* an- *Nature, pinching the bridge of her nose in suppressed rage:* *FFS BANANAS* for the *last time* you get to be *yellow* and *slightly curved* and THAT'S IT. *NOTHING ELSE, OK?* I don't need you going all exotic looking and starting another *starfruit scandal* and upstaging all the other fruit. *Bananas, muttering under his breath:* hmpf
Could you review a bunch of random common fruit, and versions of those fruit that you think would be a better replacement? I had this idea for a while and wanted to tell you :)
Weird Explorer: “You got to separate these carefully, one by one, so you don’t rip the peel on the next banana and end up having to eat more than on…” Me: “Time for banana bread and banana nut muffins!”
Prayer Hands might be my new favorite fruit, the way you described it. Also I mentioned it in the comments of another video months ago, but the Louisiana Strawberry Fest in April 12-14
I really appreciate your videos and your presentation skills. Have for a long time. Was excited to see this review since I know your opinion on cavendishes so well : P This type of banana sounds lovely, let the hunt begin; thank you for all the work you do in opening the world up to new and tasty experiences through entertaining education complete with laughter and temptations to explore.
I've had some of those tiny bananas right off a tree I was trimming in florida. Just some random cross breed that tasted like clover flowers and tea. Next one I had? Like smooth dirt. THey vary SO SO much lol.
In Java different banana for different purposes. This one is for boiled banana with the skin. Whatever the food is always boiled with the skin. The BLUE JAVA banana on your other video are very good for fried banana.
In indonesia they call it "kepok" banana If you get the unripe you have to steam it Or if you wanna get more sweety taste you can dry it like raisin But you have to cut the banana into 2 part And then dry it using sun it takes about 3 days (5 days to gain more sweetines) And fry it Feel the sensation 😁 Sweets like a dates fruit
I was thinking if you accidentally rip the peel, you can just use a spoon to scoop the next banana out. That way you're only eating 2 instead of the whole "hand" in one sitting.
VERY... The way these bananas look make me so uncomfortable that it's hard for me not to look away. I don't get why. I know it's not rational, there's no reason why they should repulse me this way, But they do 🤷 especially the picture of the sliced piece from the woman. Just Ugh!
Sweet? I thought plantains were like banana potatoes. Effectively like potatoes but shaped like bananas. I didn't know you could cook sweetness into them.
@@Bubu567 I mean, they're sweet when they're ripe like any fruit, you just don't eat them as is. You cut them into slices, not vertically but horizontally at an angle, and then fry them so you make fried plantains. In spanish you can also call them amarillos which basically translates to yellows. They're also used to make other foods. They're very soft and sweet when done right.
Plantains can be eaten raw if fully ripened and green bananas can be cooked. I believe in Jamaica they cook green banana. I'm from Colombia and we cook both ripe and green plantains but you can eat them raw when ripe if you don't cook the green ones it's like eating raw potato not good for you.
Yes! they are all bananas, all can be cooked and all can be eaten raw but they ripen at different times. I have a raw plantain review on here somewhere
Looked like a catchers mit. I had these the other day. I got mine from my local supermarket in a small town in texas. My daughter loves them. Your shirt is freaking awesome btw.
This is..I guess I have a new channel to explore. I wasn’t expecting to be watching a fruit channel of all things but thanks for the content mate, you present the fruits well.
in my country we called it กล้วยเทพพนม but I think it might native to archipelago of southeast asia but it also fine in many many part of Thailand too we usually cook the same way as the Silver Bluggoe or with out cooking.
That is awesome. I have never seen one up close. These look awesome but like that one person said when you cut it it looks like pineapple makes me think of a pineapple the way of pineapple looks. They’re beautiful I’m sure they’re delicious.😋😋😋❤️
In Malaysia we sometimes get it but not common .. difficult to sell .. the grower himself will make fried bananas or make sweet dessert .. not eaten raw fresh ... matsu
