I am so happy I found this channel. I have eaten easily twice as many types of fruit as ever before. Jared has improved my quality of life immeasurably. Thank you!
I haven't gotten to the rating scale yet, but I'm excited to see how you rate it on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is a lemon! Edit - I was not disappointed!
gasoline: aromatic hydrocarbons , terpenes, etc .sort of amazing more plant dont have these. after all, hydrocarbons are chemically altered carbohydrates. very closely related.
I'm addicted to your videos. Also, the thing you said about cross-pollination, you cross pollinate onto a flower, and then the fruit produced by that flower will be the same as the rootstock plant (the one with the flower). Then, when you take the seeds from that individual fruit and plant it, you will get your hybrid. It can take several generations to get a consistent variety.
😂 Reminiscent of a lime thing he did that I recently watched. It was an older dust off the archives video. I noticed he uses a clip of a reaction he had in that to underscore sour recoiling in more recent ones. Not to talk about you like you're not there Jared lol.
Not sure I’ve seen that type of sour orange, but sour orange juice is common in Mexican cooking and sour oranges are usual for British orange marmalade. The sour oranges I see here in Florida are similarly seedy with similar flesh. Often they get mold-covered in the stores.
I will try to explain how something makes a new variety to those wondering. Like Jared said on you cross pollinate one variety with another when it is in the flowering stage. You then harvest the seeds and plant the seeds. That is where many people get confused. The initial plant will stay the same but the seeds will become the next generation. You then grow out plant after plant from generation to generation to make sure it is a stable breed before sending it out into the market. It actually will take years to get a new breed which is why most people will patent certain varieties and there will be no propagation clauses on certain plants like raspberries that tend to spread out new shoots all the time.
Biologists gonna get mad that you put taiwanica in capital letters in the title, lol. That was quite the vid! So many different species of fruits. The other day I had an apple that was EXTREMELY sweet, and it had a litchi taste to it. They also had a dark spot on on side that was very hard, almost woody, but still crispy, kinda hard to bite through. IDK the variety, but it was a bit too sweet for my liking lol, I like slightly tart apples.
Definitely relatable! I describe some things smelling resinous or camphor-like. Holy basil, for instance, tasted and smelled like gasoline to me last year. This year I like the way it smells.
I think i know a food item that is worse in scent than noni, its the spice known as asafoetidia. Its a resin extracted from the roots of the ferula genus. The scent is from a lot of trisulfide compounds, however, its suppose to mellow to a rich, cooked onion/leek when cooked! The closest thing i can say the snell is like, is really strong durian mixed with certain types of algae. Ive not cooked with it yet!
I totally understand your gasoline comparison. Never had marang, but I get gasoline whenever I have Durian or durian flavored things. I also have always liked the smell of gasoline haha.
I hope one day you get to try type another sour orange (scientific name: Citrus indica) which is sour than a lemon as well but only grows here in my home state
it would have been interesting for you to try the zest and express the oil from the rind. bet the zest of this would be amazing in a salad dressing or just straight up on a salad
you can make a drink with it more delicious than orange juice and has almost no carb in it, it tastes really good with sucralose (artificial sweetener)
when i first got a seville orange to try before i knew that it was used for marmalade i found it to be more sour than a lemon but in reality it could have been a 9/10 since i wasnt expecting it and took a big bite like how one normally does with an orange i got a lot more sourness than if i took a bite from a lemon cuz it would be a smaller bite. but i do sense that there are plenty fruits out there far more sour than a lemon and at least a different type of sour
I'm not surprised that you ended up making orangeade from these since you deacribed them as being so sour. I guess that makes three types of oranges that are suitable for making orangeade: the trifoliate orange, the seville/calamondin orange, and the nansho sour orange.
Would the potent sourness of this fruit be lessened or made to taste super sweet by chewing a miracle fruit tablet? Thanks for this review, and have a great week✌
Thanks for trying this for us. I like eating fresh lemon flesh, but I think I would try this fruit as a sweetened watered down drink to see if I enjoy it. Especially after seeing your reaction to it. Love your video content.
Hey! Love your vids! Kinda off topic but what is the bands name on the shirt you’re wearing? I can’t for the life of me remember but I love their music.
@@KINGKHAN-zn2ed for sweetness the gold nugget because the satsuma have that tart flavor but are considered the sweetest. I’m not sure if your a fan of that. But for flavor the satsuma because it has the best of both worlds. Overall satsuma is considered one of the best tasting citrus fruit in general tho so I would go with that. Are you just eating it by itself or did you want to incorporate it in a dish.
@@andyn7478 I never taste Satsuma and Gold nugget.I saw many videos about these mandarin.Everyone says,"both are so sweet"Any way,Can I tell Satsuma is better than Gold nugget or any mandarin?Thanks for your precious information.
@@KINGKHAN-zn2ed in all honesty I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if I had a blind fold on and the pieces were cut up between satsuma gold nugget or even Clementine. I love all types of citrus they all taste great.
Apparently, Citrus taiwanica is critically endangered, tho the last assessment with a conclusive result was in 1998, recent assessment in 2012 and 2017 categotized it as data deficient
Interesting. I've been on a quest to figure out what one of my citrus trees is. When we purchased this home we were told it was a tangerine, but it is so sour, a bit of a turpentine smell, more of a yellow color than orange, especially on the inside so after watching this video I was going to declare it Citrus Taiwanica, but after your comment, I'm again unsure.
@@katrinakeppler6627 It's endangered in the wild, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily rare in cultivation. The dawn redwood is also endangered but fairly commonly grown.
