Sapodilla Review - Tastes like pumpkin pie -Weird Fruit Explorer Ep 290 

im in cali so i cant D:

I am looking for Scions (10 each) for Hasya, Alano and Makok varieties. Please let me know if you or any on can supply.

Think of something mushy with a bit of resistance when you bite into it, that tastes lightly of butternut squash (or pumpkin, if you've had it), with a rich dark brown sugar/molasses taste, paired with cinnamon, nutmeg, and occasionally a hint of ginger. It's usually not cloyingly sweet, but some recipes certainly are. I also don't know if he mentioned a pie crust flavor, but that's another element of the experience. Hopefully that helps a bit. :)

pervychipmunks that actually does help, thanks!

pervychipmunks Wow! What a great description! Well done! 👏👏

pervychipmunks Your username, though! 😂😂

mria621 I know, I forget how it came to me, lol. 😅

Sounds great!

Lol i eat it growing up in india so sweet and tasty yummy my favourite as a kid. I never seen this in canada.

Pumpkin pie does sort of have a maple syrup/brown sugar taste to it.

No way, pumpkin pie tastes like mamey sapote or baked sweet potato. Sapodilla tastes more like brown sugar. They're both great, but the winner has to be sapodilla because it's so juicy, full of nutrients and so sweet. As you would expect as brown sugar is sweeter than pumpkin pie or sweet potato. But sapodilla is so much better than brown sugar. I'll go ahead and say that I believe it is my favorite fruit (if I have to pick one).

@@TwistedChains i heard Helva is made from sappdila but still don't know if it is because it seems more expenisive thanks for sharing. Would you place it above a Cherimoya? Or eggfruit?

@@halilacikgoz7865 i know you didn’t ask me but i would put it above a cherimoya absolutely. And i love cherimoyas!

so glad to hear it!

For sure! Keep making great videos

Mexican markets should have a different variety as the ones shown here as of the Indian variety, but they grow in tropical regions

Turn it into an erotic video haha

I always get concerned when he eats off a knife. Then I remember he's a sword swallower.

Visit the Caribbean Island during spring to summer time and you will get a taste of a variety of fruits. Go to the markets and tours.

I found that mango, so good!

Juice in a bag yesssssss

Didn't have one with me...

Yeah, I was cringing as I watched. Maybe it's the variety but I have a little tree, and our fruit is like the fruit you reviewed earlier.

/s

Wow, have you subscribed and become a regular here? Welcome to the club!

how in the actual f*ck did you get here Justin Y.? I mean how do you find people like this guy????? Its kinda creepy if you ask me.

SinViper Uh, the channel has quite a number of subs, and come on, he is a dedicated commenter. Add RU-vid's ever unpredictable algorithms and you have the answer.

He won't reply guys don't even try

Real samurais drink strawberry milk Can you get pumpkin or canned pumpkin (preferably) where your from? If so they’re super easy to make!

LitAfuseiCantStop yeah we get superfresh pumpkin here nearly all year round, but all the recipes I've found on the net require pumkpin spice and we don't have access to that here

You should look for canned pumpkin that already has the spices in it. Pumpkin spice is just multiple spices mixed together that are commonly used for pumpkin pies, it is mainly cinnamon, then nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves. The main 3 that constitute most of it are the cinnamon nutmeg and ginger.

@@rdizzy1 these canned pumpkins with the spices in them are not available here, but I can try to make the spice mix if I can find a recipe for it. Thank you so much for the reply! :) I'm not sure what all-spice would consist of, but I already have the other spices you mentioned right now in my kitchen, so if I can manage the all-spice bit, I think I can give it a go :)

Allspice is a plant itself that has berries called allspice berries spice is made from that. Scientific name of the tree is pimenta.

I've only had the jam too, good stuff

I've been wanting to try that, it looks so cool

The traditional method of eating it is to nuke the pine nuts in a pressure cooker so as to cook thoroughly (and save a few hours) and loosen the leathery woody rusk that is extremely attached to the nut, then you squeeze the nut out or cut it, but do it while hot otherwise the rusk glues itself back on. You can also roast it and the rusk falls off easily but I find it a bit underwhelming that way. Otherwise it's great after cooked and chopped and fried or sauteed with meat or in a soup or ground as a kind of rough flour crumble thingy. BTW the resin of the Araucaria has not many uses but I like it for it's very aromatic as an incense but it's messy, thing turbo turbo pine resin but less pinny more incensy and extra sticky. BTW don't even think on foraging it, it's easy to find stalls selling it and for the good trees you would need to go deep into the woods, and the tree is tall and the cluster heavy so if it hits you you die, but it's more common to some adventurer to try to climb the tree and fall and die. but all of that is on the plateau highlands in Parana, near the ocean there is a small mountain range covered with a dense subtropical forest with the Atlantic forest, it's quite cool and misty and there are quite a few fruits not well known even in Brazil (as is most stuff that isn't from São Paulo, Rio or Minas or the Northeast), the sight itself is worth a visit, there are plenty of people living there in small communities that sell mostly homegrown crops of the more usual stuff like banana, ginger, papaya, booze from banana, banana candy, palm heart and corn for some reason etc but if you ask you will find somebody that will get you the wild stuff stuff.

Those are insanely endangered, listed as critically endangered.

No, that does sound good though!

I've had acai in Bolivia. The other ones I don't think I've had. I've got to get to Brazil still :)

Carambola is star fruit I am pretty sure that you have had it

Yep, they're reasonably common in the US. The waxy skin unfortunately is a pain to peel and the ones that I get have a tough, stellate inner core that wants to be cut out

Anthony D'Atri weird, I've had starfruit before and they were quite easy to eat, the skin is kinda waxy on the surface but that isn't a bother when eating and they are generally very juicy. Maybe it's a different subspecies or the soil.

Anthony D'Atri must be the variety star fruit I've had you eat whole no problem after you pop out the seeds.

I used to have those tree in my yard and it gave a lot of fruit all year we ended up share it with our neighbors. it's pretty tasty, sweet and refreshing. you're in for a treat :D

No clue on the variety, but it was found in Mexico, so you may want to find a mexican variety. Indian and Malaysian ones were good too, but this one was my favorite.

The ones I tried came from robertishere.com -- got them along with a mamey. I was a bit disappointed in the taste, it wasn't bad, just not up to the hype. Jared mentions several times proper ripening, but it'd be great to have a sense of that. Is this a fruit that really has to be tree-ripened to be best? All I could find was to wait until a scratch test went from green to brown.

I found those in the Philippines I think they're under the name "camachille" in my videos if you do a channel search

i'll have to try that

I don't grow, but when I get interesting things I send seeds to high level patreon supporters. I had the Feijoa, theres a video on it somewhere, great stuff

wow i just found your comment and lol, i have both fruit side by side in my house.. Super super good fruits

@@yohanesbobbysanjaya3541 So lucky!!

Do you live in SE Asia? The ones I saw in Malaysia were light colored and oval shaped like you describe.

So nice to hear. thanks!

There are tens of thousands of fruit species out there some with a thousand cultivars.. so probably not. It might start getting boring though.

*weird vegetable explorer intensifies*

Weird Explorer Great! Never heard of it! 👏👏
