@mariavasquez9504 Год назад

Your suppose to place it in a bowl of salt in water to take the bitter taste away lol.anything with a bitter taste place in salt in water for minimum of 20 minutes then rinse out with fresh water. hope you do another one this way to see if you like it better love your videos merry Xmas take care.

I'm confused and very surprised. This channel resonated with the dark and strange corners of my soul. Thank you very much for your creativity. This is truly art. There is nothing like this in my native language and in my country. Thanks again.

@pattheplanter Год назад

The flowers smell great but we never got fruit in the UK in the years I lived with that garden. Edited to add: I just checked and it needs two genetically different individuals for cross-pollination to produce fruit. We only had the one vine.

@amberpalmer444 Год назад

I bought one vine and after doing my research I found these plants need to cross pollinate to reproduce any fruit so I am going to buy my second vine sometime this spring.

Akebia is such a cool plant! I watched your first video about it and I was like "Yoo this looks too cool to grow in central Europe climate", then I found out it actually grows here! I once was buying bamboo from one hobbist and casually when talking about cool plants in gardens I asked her about Dead man fingers, and Akebia. And for my surprise, she had one Akebia trifoliata flowering! I ate flowers and it was tasting like unripe strawberry with a bit of bitterness. Gonna plant it this year for sure! it looks soo exotic yet it grows in 7a!

@Yaksoup98 Год назад

Be careful because they can be easily become invasive So if you do I'd probably recommend doing it in a pot or something

@pattheplanter Год назад

You need to grow two vines to get fruit. Different genetically, not just cuttings. If you don't have space, perhaps give one to a neighbour as a present.

@russelllukenbill Год назад

Finally, the long-awaited sequel to the Akebia Episode 1. "Fists of Rice: Akebia's Revenge!"

@jeremybyington Год назад

One thing to keep in mind when comparing peppers and akebia for stuffing is the growing seasons. Peppers are ending their season when akebia is just starting to ripen, so there would only be a few days where you could choose between the two rather than be stuck with one or the other. This is, of course, only an issue if you were limited to local growers.

@loganlogon3720 Год назад

I'm liking the sound of that tea.😋

@mrrooter601 Год назад

if its so like eggplant, I wonder if salting resting and patting it dry could help with the bitterness?

@HeyRaeSunnyDay Год назад

The stuffed Akebia is certainly darling, maybe the minty-tingle-astringency is an acquired taste! Great video Jarod, love the choice of music too.

@Verlisify Год назад

would be weird if you have an obscure mild allergy with the seed and pod tingly reaction

@sazji Год назад

To quote plant explorer Dan Hinkley, "It looks like slime, but it's snot." (He was actually describing the fruit of a related vine, Holboellia. Another one in the same family is Stauntonia. Hopefully you can taste those some time!)

If it's like eggplant, you would need to cook til it's v soft, no stiffness at all, like the pepper. Like eggplant maybe then it turns magically tasty. But bitter until then. (?) Just a thought.

I live in Japan and have never seen nor heard of this fruit, however, I'm really interested in trying it. LIke with most good fruits here, i'm sure they're only available for a month of the year while it's in season, which means I'll have to do some research and hussle between markets to find it

@jolus6678 Год назад

This is a very common vine in the deep south of the USA. I think it's actually considered invasive or at the least very aggressive growing. I didn't know it was edible. It's planted for the ornamental blooms which smell of chocolate, hence the name "chocolate vine".

@WeirdExplorer Год назад

That's a fun collection to have. Any prized items in your collection? I just keep antiques in general but there are a few bottles kicking around.

@TrilobiteTerror Год назад

@@WeirdExplorer Antique poison bottles (and any quackery medicine bottles which contained toxic substances) are some of my favorites to collect. One of my favorites in my collection is a late 19th century Fraser's Tablet Company bottle of "Chocolate Coated Iron, Arsenic & Strychnine" tablets. The original label suggests taking one tablet "three times a day, ten minutes before meals". My collection also has focuses in 18th century free blown utility/black glass bottles, mid-19th century blob top (rounded applied lip) soda bottles, and early-late 19th century flasks (including some like your soy sauce bottle, lol). Just last night, I won an auction for an 1870's Carl Schultz Central Park Mineral Springs, New York mineral water bottle (an early blob top version of their distinct 'ten pin' shaped bottle). The company has an interesting history and actually operated a Mineral Springs Pavilion in Central Park (at the north end of Sheep Meadow) starting in 1867.

@jaxxx010 Год назад

I think they're called leaflets. The 3 leaflets make up the whole leaf :) Maybe you can use the inside of the fruit the same way you might make a desert out of passionfruit? Love your channel

@goiterlanternbase Год назад

To get rid of the "grassieness" put the fresh leaf's(any fresh green) in a jar and let them simmer @ 120F /50 C for a few hours. Enzymes will deconstruct all that chlorophyll, who makes up for the grassy taste.

I bought myself one of these vines on Amazon and right now it's dormant. I'm going to buy myself a second vine in order to reproduce more of them because I heard they're invasive whenever there's more than one vine growing together. They produce both male and female flowers but they need a second vine for cross pollination. I always try to grow invasive edible plants to provide emergency food Incase I am ever in need of emergency food like if I run out of food. Right now I am in no need of food because my cupboards are jam packed full of food including my fridge and freezer. I'm a prepper. I prep for emergency situations.

So I honestly have no idea about this plant, but since you said the insides taste a little bit like persimmon, I’m wondering if the astringency of the outside is because you ate one that’s under ripe? Remember how you said the little ones look great well the big one looks like it is going to go off? Maybe the big one is more properly ripe then the little ones were.
