Peanut Butter Fruit Review (Bunchosia argentea) - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep 152

I have to agree with you on this!

buying it for my brother who's deathly allergic, excited to see his reaction

If anyone with nut allergies actually tries this, make sure these fruit aren't an allergen too. Allergies are caused by specific proteins, which can also give the fruit/nut it's distinct flavour. Not always but sometimes and it's better to air on the side of caution with these things

Sunut butter from sunflowers tastes pretty darn close. If a recipe calls for peanut butter great substitute in the kitchen. My son has peanut allergies

@@oleksiishekhovtsov1564 *err

just waiting for welches to market this

Peanut-butter and jelly sandwich fruit*

i've tried both, i can say that would be a very nasty combo.

I really like that comment.

great idea

Interesting. I gotta give it a try, sounds like they're worth the wait.

Good to hear. Ive recently acquired 2 small trees. How long did it take to fruit indoors?

@@DankFroot it didn't take long as a house plant to produce fruit.

@@olucky11 its grows fast. Mine is 1 year old and it already has a lot of flower buds.

Larry Pseudonym peanut butter and peanut butter jelly.

thanks!

Thats great to hear, hope you find lots!

Agreed!

Thats what I love about making these videos. Something so ordinary in one place is exotic to another.

sounds good to me

Hey wait If you make jelly out of this fruit And then make a nut butter out of grape seeds You’d have reverse pb&j

And have it w bread fruit and you got yourself a sandwich! Lol

This actually sounds like the best idea to me. I actually don't like the stickiness of peanut butter. It's cloying to me

what's the name of your farm? I don't have plans to go that way soon, but I would like to in the future

Awesome, you're going to love them :)

Update? How'd they grow?

yeah how'd your plant go

No! I'll have to try that next time

@@WeirdExplorer Also try to make a jam and let us know the next time. I am interested in getting a tree now I have acerola or Barbados cherry. Will see about the ease of growing one. if it is like the acerola where you break off a piece and stick it in the ground and it catches. And like you said how perishable the fruit was. That reminds me of how the acerola loses it vitamin C content so fast and easily after its picked from the tree.

cool! Good luck!

Nope, I don't usually do international gigs. Though when I was on this particular trip I was training with a yogi.

Good to have you back :)

Exactly!

Achei um comentário em português... Eu ganhei uma muda, o que me diz??

Thanks Ken! No worries, happy to try them when they are bug free :)

DecaCastro ah I'm jealous :)

Can you eat the seeds...? Like eat them raw or roast them...?

@@ekasukmawirawanrall You can eat the seeds raw. :)

Yeah I think they should be bright red and soft to the touch. I tried an unripe one once and... no good.

@@WeirdExplorer Will be interested in hearing how did it go with growing the PB fruit tree.

Do you have any pictures and did the tree require a lot of attention. Super interested in the tree, but I am also super interested in a green leafy shrub or plant that has leaves that taste like peanutbutter, if you or anyone else does please let me know.

Yes when he said that I knew he was genuinely caught off guard and that sh*t really tasted like peanut butter!

I would love to visit one day but haven't been yet. I would love to try some of the "bush fruit" that you can find.

That would be amazing.

I list a location at 0:30 in :)

Serian, Sarawak, Malaysia

I believe so!

Those are sago worms. :)

Thanks! I don't really have the skill or schedule to grow fruit unfortunately. I am going to the Caribbean soon though, any places you'd recommend for fruit hunting?

Yes, if you like the idea, I can guide you to all the strange places with strange plants having strange fruits. :-) Please note: due to global warming and climate change, for the last 4 mounths (!) it was just raining, raining, raining here. Many fruit plants are a bit delayed or produce the edible parts in smaller amounts, as the agriculture here suffers by that endless rain. If you come in January or later, it might be a better time than in December. Besides, then a number of strange fruits will be in season again. I need to look at your videos, I don't know if you know already the Purple and the more rare White Starapple, or the Red or the more rare green/white Sorrel. Many more, beside them. Just a question of the season. How can we communicate? here's my e-mail address: jamaica_sven [ AAATTT ] yahoo [ DDDOOOTTT ] com,

I don't believe so!

Juan Pedro Mariano tabo? I Never Heard That Even If I'm Filipino

Very cool! Its a great little market!

I've seen the fruits for sale, but didn't have the ability to cook them. Hopefully I'll get the chance in the future.

I don't think they are edible

Thanks

I'm not sure, its not common there so honestly was surprised to see a vendor selling it at all.

Kacang Amazon.

For this one... yes. Maybe I would have phrased it differently, but the nutty flavor is distinct.

thanks!

it's a winner

​@@WeirdExplorer They finally fruiting! The texture is definitely peanut butter, love it!!

Sure! Check out the vendors in Chinatown they are at Mulberry and Canal street. Also hit up EATaly and Manhattan Fruit Exchange

Yes. check the archive at www.weirdexplorer.com :)
