You are an apocalypse person, I was born in a place that produce chirimoya, close to another place with mango, I remember eating from morning to night, refusing regular food, causing trouble with my father, and stomaches too, I have the best skin, women asked me if I was wearing make up, because you could not believe it.
If you eat a cherimoya with a utensil, you take away substantial enjoyment of eating eat. Break apart the fruit with your hands and nosh it, nicely :),…. that gives fullest, substantially so, soulful eating experience with cherimoya.
I had cherimoya recently in peru and when I tasted it i instantly thought it tasted like tropical punch juice but the consistency was a cross between banana and pineapple but this fruit was serious good. I always give me dad the contrary on things but I had to admit to him that this fruit was the best I ever tasted.
I just bought my first bag of cherrimoya’s and while I’m walking home I’m rewatching your videos. Can’t express how exited I am to try it after hearing you talk.
I lived in Ecuador 20 years ago and we had an huge cherimoya tree in the front yard. Delicious beyond words. On par with mangos, strawberries and other luminaries of the fruit world. I think people called it an Anona also.
I just bought one of these partly after seeing some of your videos and partly after reading a quote saying that "Pineapple, mangosteen, and cherimoya are the best fruit." It cost $8/lb! (Love these old videos btw)
Good description of the taste. Someone told me recently they thought it tasted like ice cream. I don't get it. Ice cream comes in thousands of flavors. But I guess it's better than my usual description: "It's good, really good."
I tried these in Santiago de Cuba for the first time, fresh off the tree and loved them. They're especially good slightly chilled. Apart from mangos, they're probably my favourite fruit. I'm glad I can find them here in Canada at Asian grocery stores.
Thanks for talking about the dangers and the side effects as well....I tried rambutan for the first time today, adore it!!!! However, i did have a somewhat strong allergic reaction to it......bloodshot eyes, throat irrigation, stuffed, drippy nose and raccoon eyes..like a severe hayfever... hopefully it goes away soon so I can eat more lol. I have a cherimoya sitting on my counter. Wish me luck!
Randomly, a Safeway near where I live has these, Feijoa, Pepino and Kiwano melons and Rambutan right now. Time for a fruit spree! (though I may pass on the melons.)
They grow pretty well in southern California. I'm in Ecuador right now and it is very easy to find very plump and ripe cherimoyas in markets and from vendors on the streets.
@@lusfit6903 H-mart in Gaithersburg. 9639 Lost Knife Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 There's one in Wheaton, too, but I found things living in my sugar cane purchased from that one. I stick to the Gaithersburg location.
I just realized I ate my cherimoya unripe, it was hard and dry. It tasted exactly like juniper berries and was actually quite good in some weird way. I got one more so I'm gonna way untill this one is ripe and soft.
I had no idea what a cherimoya was until I came across a tree by accident. I had been cutting guavas from some tree a few houses down(with permission). When j looked to my left, I saw a tree with strange fruit growing. It looked different, curiousity got the best of me so I cut one. I asked around and come to find out what it was. It isn't ripe yet but I'm dying to sink my teeth in. There were only a couple on the tree, some not easily accessible.
Those are super popular here in Chile. They are used to make a sorbet called "chirimoya alegre" (happy cherimoya), which is basically frozen juice of cherimoya and orange.
I heard of this fruit a couple years ago in an article I read on my final exam. Ever since, I was obsessed with wanting to eat one. At some point, we were finally able to get our hands on one but my mom had to throw it away because it was already like rotten or whatever. I went to Bangladesh, and it was said to have cherimoyas. We tried to get one, but there were possibly snakes in the way so we couldn't get to the tree :( Have yet to eat a cherimoya.
Same person, different account. My mom got one from the store today. It was tiny and black, but it tasted alright. Kind of sweet. Not the best fruit I ever tasted, but probably because it was tiny and black. I'll be back to update whenever I get my hands on a ripe, big cherimoya.
@@peacemaker2427 in Peru and Bolivia those are common but seasonal. There are GIGANTIC cherimoyas, twice or triple the size of what you see in the video. We don't really eat them when they are black, as far as I remember we eat them when they are green. I assure you, a ripe cherimoya is spectacular and the average usually is consistently delicious. I live in Bolivia so when the season comes we always get our hands on some cherimoyas. My favorite fruit.
When I had it in Peru it was the flavor of tropical fruit punch. It was soft like banana consistency and closer to the seed it was stringy like pineapple consistency. It was delicious.
I was in my local produce shop and saw these I passed right by them thinking nothing of them then I thought of your videos and decided I should be more adventurous and try it, searched up the name of the fruit to find a video explaining how to eat it and of course you popped up!
When i was little, dad got some of these (was very expencive in that time) and did a drink with it. Smelled like sweet heaven, and thanks to the blender, had a milky apparence. Sadly im not good with fruits cause textures and that, but was a sweet-refresh-milky sensation (i was a child, my memories are difuse). Is another faborite flavor here for desserts and ice cream (mixed with orange we called it "chirimoya alegre" (happy chirimoya))
So I’ve heard that there are some farmers successfully growing cherimoya here on farms along the coast in Southern California and I’ve got some cherimoya seeds from a cherimoya (imported) that I just finished. I’ve heard that they can be grown here in the Central Valley and that very warm summers improve fruit size (with hand pollination required due to lack of appropriate pollinators). But it does get below freezing in the winter here at night for maybe 7-14 days every other winter. Any thoughts on successful cultivation of cherimoya here in Sacramento?
I found one and a Soursop at WFM yesterday. Left the SS there because it looked kinda weird and it was rock hard, but I picked one of these up. Excited to try it.
finally got a ripe one and got the non pear flavors...it had a cotton candy tooty fruity taste then was mild mixed with pear. closer to the skin i get a not unpleasant bitterness.
I once tried a custard apple (or something similar to this) from a store, and when I opened it, the inside was brown and tasted like vomit. I'm guessing that's not normal?
Very interesting - I just had a Madeiran anona which I believe is a variety of Annona cherimola and the flavour is nothing like the combination of tropical fruits described! Still tasty, but i definitely want to try the South American cherimoya now
Declan Vasil You should just do some research online. "Nanosin". I'm pretty sure you'd be fine though, your body will filter it out over time, the longer the time the more filtered out it will become. Ps 10 pounds is a damn LOT, 6.99 x 10 = 70 buckaroos fellow.
Also my favorite! Mamey might be next. It reminds me of pineapple, pear, bubblegum! Can you do a vid on the diff btwn these, sugar apple and other similar looking fruits? I wanna know the diff in taste & growing locations
Ha.. that's one of my favorite fruits as well, Had 3 different varieties of Cherimoya/Annonaceae trees in our back yard when I was a kid & this is including the Soursoap(Annona). I really liked both varieties of Cherimoya. Oboy! I didn't know the fruit seeds and the bark of this tree can be dangerous stuff, Haha glad I'm still healthy and alive. I've also had Pinkish Cherimoya few times. However I am quite confused with the Chrimoya/Annonaceae family varieties. Maybe I've seen too many hybrid versions of this fruit.
Yes there are a lot of varieties, one of these days I'd like to do a comparison of some of the different anona cultivars. They are one of my favorite types of fruit
I don't have a lot of luck with cherimoyas. Only tried it a few times because they're very expensive here, and they were mostly slightly green or slightly overripe, not very sweet or with an unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Only once had a good one (the first time I ever tried it and never again could find another one like that) and it was the most delicious fruit I've ever had.
"The seeds are poisenous" My cherimoya was completely full of seeds XD. I've had cactusfruit with less seeds then this. Hopefully the next one will have some flesh to eat haha
I just tried it and it had a little bit of a cheesy taste or a fermented taste, could it be that it was a little fermented because it was really soft and the top just fell out? Other than that it was great.
Hi, I like your analytical approach to testing food products. I've just recently tried cherimoya, we watched your video first before tasting it today with other exotic fruits and I found it to be very much like a banana in texture and flavor with bright tones of starfruit. That would be my discrption, what are you thoughts on that? (p.s.~We had starfruit on our testing tray also, or else I don't think that would have come to me)
Hi Robin! Totally can see the banana texture. I never picked up on the starfruit taste, but next time I try a cherimoya I'll see if I can taste that flavor.
@@WeirdExplorer most understable, I was having starfruit so it was that strange brightness it had that triggered the banana/star mix, if I was doing cherimoya solo I don't think I would have pulled it out of the blue.... Thanks for the response and love your vids!!
I had a couple recently, but was thoroughly unimpressed. The first I tried was unripe, and I tried to leave it to ripen, and a week later it was still hard. The second I waited to ripen, and ate it. The taste and texture was reminiscent of a grassy pear, but with lots of large poisonous seeds throughout. Definitely eating a pear was a much more enjoyable experience. Not sure if I did anything wrong.
Taste and texture on this fruit are great, but the seeds dampened this heavily for me. Tastes like some old vitamins. Like grainy, and slightly citrus but not quite citrus. A delicate balance of sour and sweet. Buy yeah, large seeds. Mine was probably very very overripe...
Did you know that the fruit featured on The Rundown, which on there they called Kolobos, was really Cherimoyas? It just made the movie funnier by portraying that the flesh causes paralysis. Have to try these sometime. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds similar to jackfruit, word is it inspired juicy fruit gum flavor. Like a jackfruit it has hints of lots of different fruit only not just tropical ones though...like a juicy pear, super smooth but not grainy at all
IM PERUVIAN AND THE WAY YOU EAT IT MAKES ME LAUGH 🤣I WAS GROWN EATING CHIRIMOYA AND HAD MANY TREES IN MY BACK YARD IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE OF PERU ; WE JUST GRAV THE WHOLE FRUIT NO SPOOMS NEEDED; AND BITE IT MOUTHFUL AND EAT 3 OF THEM IN 2 MINUTES THEY ARE THE BEST FRUIT IN THE WORLD THE MOST YUMMY AND DELICIOUS IS QUITE EXPENSIVE AS WELL EVEN IN PERU AND THE ANDES REGION. IS DEFFENERLY SOMETHING EVERYONE NEEDS TO TRY BEFORE DYING
So I just found these in a Filipino shop in my small rural california city, imported from Santa Barbara exotics. Good-sized one is $18 so I didn't get it, but maybe I should run back over there tomorrow and grab one.
today i was shopping at my local grocery and they had cherimoya to my surprise. i had to google how to know if they were ripe n stuff so i did and they were so i bought one and i am now eating it. and it's weird, i don't mind the texture at all tho there's a hint of bitterness at times that i dislike. i am guessing bc nc isn't anywhere close to where these are grown that this probably isn't the best representative of this fruit so i'm not gonna be super judgy but as it is right now i wouldn't get another unless it was a local thing. but i only knew wtf it was thanks to your channel jared and it was neat to try 😊
They are called Anona in Israel - more bumpy on the outside. The seeds are so poisonous their poison is called Anonain. A woman put it in the blender as is and got really sick - was hospitalized. Watching all your episodes - got to this one. P.S - Passion fruit is called Pasiflora here. Continue this interesting work
I bought this fruit in an Asian market I frequent and it was expensive, almost 13 dollars for one, I had to return it because it had a giant hole in it and I couldn't tell at the time of purchase because of the packaging, I got another one and waited 4 days for it to ripen whew, I finally tried it today and it is a very delicious fruit 😁
They’re high in good fats, which raise levels of HDL in your body, the good cholesterol. This in turn attacks LDL, the bad cholesterol, and improves heart health.
I tried one here in SW Florida and it was not what it was supposed to be. It tasted like creamy pear but wasn't sweet at all. Maybe it wasn't ripe enough? I also saw a bunch at WalMart but they were $5 each and my first experience wasn't the best. I also bought a Mamey Sapote and had to throw it out. The flesh was like hard plastic, it wasn't edible. At least my first durian try was awesome.
Is there supposed to be any grit to it? I found one at a grocery store and it looked very much like yours, but the flavor was very lacking and even had a bitter finish, but what really threw me off was that it kind of had a grit to it, like something between your average pear and homemade ice cream. I think I may have found a bad one as the flavor wasn't at all as you described, but I'm still curious about that aspect of it.
thanks for your response. Can you explain what happens if you eat? I blend fruits including skin and I like to try unless you become sick or paralyzedd
In Bharat we have 4 types of these. (1) Seeta Phal (2) Raam Phal (3) Lakshman Phal AND (4) Hanuman Phal. Phal (pronounced 'ful' akin to 'hull' of a ship) or Phala is Samskrit for fruit (or result). 🙏💗🙏💗
Cherimoya: Is very delicious and has a flavor that is similar to pineapple and banana Me: oooooh that sounds good I would like to try it someday Also cherimoya: may cause Parkinson's if consumed in large quantities Me: *Ex-fucking-cuse me!?*
Two of Jared's videos singlehandedly summarize the legacy of America's impact on the world: 1. The Laos bombing docuseries. 2. 1:47 Calling every daMN FRUIT A VARIANT OF APPLE!!!!
250 calories is not horrible if you’re only having one. Say for breakfast or lunch. Unless you’re really starving yourself. Also, why is it that every video on RU-vid shows people cutting into the Cherimoya when it’s still pretty green. Is there some sort of ripeness indicator other than what is shared by Naturally Rawsome?
