Have you ever went to Brazil and had jabuticaba? Its a sweet little black berry with a seed in the middle, the entire thing is edible but you can remove the skin or seed if you feel like it.
Would you please make the video of such fruits world-over who's seed locates outside of the fruit. e.g. cashew (India, mostly available in coastal part of Maharashtra).
Seriously. This is the most incredible resource out there for rare fruit and his amazing ability to describe the flavors he’s tasting in such relatable terms is priceless! I’m constantly going back and referring to old videos when I’m debating whether or not I should make the effort to track down a fruiting plant for my collection!
If you said that Bull's Heart tastes like yogurt, and just a little stirring turned it into a yogurt consistency, I would have to wonder if there could be a market for for it as the base of a vegan yogurt.
Big Blue Weeaboo yogurt has dairy in it, vegans do not eat or wear anything from animals. Including milk, cheese, honey, and some things with food coloring contain beetles.
Baobab is so "addictive" because it's one of the only things in nature containing both fat and carbs in significant amounts. That combination is just too hard to beat. It's been said that sugar alone is more addictive than cocaine, and the combo is on another level still.
Baobab is identical to a native brazilian fruit called Cupuaçu, it's sour and kind of creamy too, very hard to separed the "meat" from the seed, but it's incredible as a icecream or juice
@@dmanzawsome first of all which nuts (because theres so many, that to make a generalization like you did and as I will isnt very smart) but most nuts --atleast the most common nuts consumed in the west-- dont contain too much carbs actually being mosty a fatty choice, that's why theres plenty of cooking oils that are made from nuts.
That is a very ignorant view. They are far from the primary colors. Try eating a natural strawberry. Hardly any flavor at all. The cultivars we consume have been bred to have tons of intricate and deep flavor profiles. The issue is you are used to them so they seem regular and ordinary to you, meanwhile fruits not sold here have the allure of being exotic. If you lived in the countries where they grow it would be normal to you and some of our ordinary supermarket fruits would be exotic.
@@klicer3068 What you believe a strawberry is is actually a cross between two wild varieties that are as small as peas and flavorless in comparison to their hybrid.
@@klicer3068 So you are replying to an American channel talking about American fruit but think your wild strawberry is relevant? Yikes. Even still I would highly doubt that your wild equivalent is better than the cross varieties that can be made with it.
@@Luckingsworth "I'm not wrong! You're wrong! Are you even American? This is an AMERICAN channel talking about AMERICAN fruit, like... thimbleberries... and... oh crap, that's the only one in this video."
I only tried rose apple,actually we had a tree of this fruit in the backyard but had to remove it due to neighbors getting mad about leaves falling in their terrain but I still remember being a kid waking up 2am cause I really needed to eat rose apple dessert with table cream
If you're in Europe, you can find them only in the largest wholesale markets - Rungis of Paris, Ortomercato of Milan and Covent Garden of London. All they are open for public on Saturdays. Also in some companies in Barendrecht (Holland) specialized in importing of exotic fruits As a rule, the best varieties of fruits never appear in supermarkets
Get a little plot of land or use a Terrasse. There is no reason you cannot grow indoors. There are plenty of things you could grow in a sufficiently big pot and most Appartments Happen ton have windows. An led can support growth. Start with easy stuff that grows allmost everywhere like marakujas. Bananas also grow in a lot of dif climates. Growing some easy crops like salad and onion, sweet potatoes, basil and other herbs can go a long way in reducing expenses for food and increase variety. Like any other plant most root plants can be grown in pots. Best fertilizer is piss btw, 10% mix. A human can provide enough fertilizer for him/herself through urine alone so it is another thing to save money on. In a ln Appartments I would suggest a bukashi compost. You do not need to travel abroad to get fruits from all over the world, they can come to you as clones, seeds, fruits. Sometimes it takes time. Like trying blueberry cactus. 7 years from seed to fruit for example. Other things go much faster. I have just ordered around 20 different marakujas. Some almost extinct some extinct in wildlife and seldom cultivated. Fruits you cannot even buy if you travel abroad unless extremely lucky. Oh and purple bananas
You know, I wake up everyday, and scrub-up, and start my day. Then I trudge, trudge, trudge until the clock tells me I have to go home. I do this year, after year. To you it seems like a long seven years, and you may think, "Where am I going with this?", but hell, what do you want out of life? Sure, more money would be good. Look, all of us are going run down our time. I think you are spending your time much more wisely than most. In fact, most people would love to spend their last seven years doing what you have done in your last seven.
I’d be interested in learning how he bankrolls his travels while also appearing to live comfortably at home. Likely a grown up trust fund kid if I had to guess, but if there’s a secret to it shit id love to know
Yeah, simply the fact that he travels so much is fantastic in terms of personal growth, experiences, organization and world view/putting things in perspective.
Locke3000: I think he lives tight. I'm pretty sure he doesn't own a car. His clothing don't look expensive. His cook wear look second hand. I think he just values different things in life.
Thank you for showcasing thimbleberry! I've eaten these as a kid and never knew their name, you've solved a decade old problem of mine, childhood me and current me thank you.
Gosh maybe I overlooked the thimbleberry's. I ate them a couple of times when I lived up in Redmond Washington but I wasn't very impressed by them compared with the blackberries.
This is epic! And historical. Honestly no one comes close with fruits or vegetables on RU-vid as far as sheer numbers of species. National Geographic or some college should be funding it, it’s adding to the general knowledge of plant species in a humanitarian way

You should've come to Bangladesh, there's a mango called "lakfajli" in Rajshahi. I feel like it comes straight from heaven. It is the best mango, the best fruit I've ever had. I can't describe how good it is.
I'm about to start a mango turf war here, as is my desi birthright. Fajlis are good, but nothing beats a good Amrapali. Those things taste like something from a dream you've had on a sweltering summer afternoon before the storm, under the boughs of a mango tree in bloom.
@@gomboc5146 It's been two years, and now I agree with you too. My opinion of Lakfajli being the best mango ever has changed. Finding a good Lakfajli is a game of luck. You have to have a good fruit-finding nose like me as well as good luck. But Amropalis are ALWAYS good. They taste and look like somebody imagined them while tripping on some heavy drugs and their imagination came to life. I skip regular meals in summer just so I can eat Amropalis to my hearts content. My stomach fills up but my tastebuds want more.
Yay thimbleberry! :) they're lovely I missed eating them this year due to timing. Thanks for mentioning a wonderful woodland treat lol They grow all over the East Kootenays in Canada. We have a lot of berries in our area :)
i live where thimbleberry grow wild, and thank you for acknowledging their greatness. they are an unnoticed staple in the berry community and i wouldn't mind if they replaced strawberry in the throne of berry fame.
oh god, rose apple just bringing back so much memories to my childhood. i spent the early part of my childhood in the southern china guangxi province. me and my friends would go into the bush of my neighborhood's park and climb the trees to get some rose apples for snacks. they're so good that i surprise no country that i been to sell them as produce. and by the way, this is the first time i heard they called rose apple in english, back then i heard people called them "water grape" in chinese, but we just thought they're some sweet fruit grows in the park lol
It is sold in the supermarket near my house, but they are very expensive. I had a tree in my office, we used to pluck and eat from. Hence never felt like buying it.
Hi, the number one fruit in Brazil is named BACUPARI, is a Garcinia gardneriana / Garcinia Macrophylla. And there lots of different varieties of them in the country. And the correct name of the Achacha is Achachairu , is a south american indian name (as the bacupari). Very difficult to pronunce in some languages.
The rubus illecebrosus ( balloon berry) is a amazing looking fruit like a raspberry a size of a large strawberry, it's popular in Lithuania. There are a lot of rare syzygium's in australia like the Syzygium luehmannii and the really rare native water cherry ( syzygium aqueum )
great video man, keep pumping them out. really enjoyed meeting you in NYC and thanks so much for the fruit tasting. Got to try cacao and tamarillo for the first time and i loved both, and your coco de mer documentary was extremely well made. You should enter it into a film festival, it is that good...
About timbleberries: I think wild raspberries might taste quite similar. I highly recommend trying it. You can find it for sure in Carpathian mountains, but they are probably common in many places. they're small but have super concentrated flavour and are sweeter than store-bought.
Your videos make me miss Bolivia so much!! Your #1 is great, but Bolivian Ice cream bean fruit (Or as I know it: Pacay) will forever be MY #1. Thanks for also making a video about that fruit- I got to share it with friends who don’t have the opportunity to try my favourite fruit here in Canada. If you ever go back to Bolivia, I suggest comparing our mandarins and other citrus fruits to the one’s you might have already tried. The ones you’ll find at fruit-vendor stands won’t look as pretty as the ones in North American supermarkets, but imo they taste so much better!
11:27 I think it is a Bacuri(Platonia insignis), the taste you have described match with the taste of Bacuri. On top of that, Bacuri grow in the amazon forest.
They’re one of my favorites too! I was able to track down some seeds and grow them so I’m really looking forward to tasing my own fruit! I was amazed how much they actually taste like a rose!
Thank you for showing the hamam mangoes. Never knew what they were called, but I called them unripe mangoes and hated them so much as a kid. Maybe I'll try some this summer 😀
Indian Alphanso Mango is the king of all Mangoes and king of all fruits. Try alphanso (haphus mango) from Maharashtra India. Surprised u didnt even mention in in ur video. It is the most famous mango variety and the most expensive and the most exported mango from india. But having said that, taste is very subjective
The garcinia intermedia is the lemon drop mangosteen/Baraba is smaller, like one of those berries, there is not much flesh to it and it definitely does not have the flavor profile you mentioned. Could you confirm the name of the fruit again, maybe local names perhaps, thx.
very interesting set of videos! while I lived in Malaysia, my favorite fruit was purple mangosteen, but they were only available for a short time per year. Rambutans (translates to “hairy things”) were available more frequently. The best bananas were pisang emas (golden bananas) about 5 inches long with amazing flavor. The best US super market bananas, in comparison, taste like styrofoam. I grew into liking durian (thorny thing) quite a lot. I thought it was like eating raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. Durian had the reputation of being slightly psychoactive and euphorogenic (“Makan badan panas.” = “Makes your body hot.”). Do you have any thoughts about other psycho active fruit?
I had Durian in Thailand this spring. I tried it twice because the first time I wasn't sure if I had actually gotten Durian because the flavor was mild and it didn't smell bad. The first time Im guessing it wasnt fully ripe. I would say an under ripe Durian is good but fully ripe tastes like the smell which is like death and rotten onions.
Lol! I was able to find a fresh durian here in San Diego and I was SO excited! When it was uncut I thought it smelled good and considering I’m all for trying every fruit I can get my hands on I was down for an experience! Then I cut into it. It was HORRENDOUS! Like gasoline and rotten onions. I tried to eat some but it was so bad and the awful taste lingered and only got worse! My adventurous, fruit collecting ass was shamed that day as I took the rest of it, triple wrapped directly outside to the garbage can. I don’t think I got a bad one either, since then I’ve smelled durian flavored things and it was just about the same. I think it just has to be one of those things like cilantro or broccoli that tastes different to different people. It’s the only way I can rationalize it’s popularity!
Agreed on the mamee apple, they're delicious. We were always told you shouldn't eat too much because the flesh contains pyrethrins, you found a live worm in one so there goes that.
#4 those come in small varieties in Philippines. Never saw a giant version. You can even eat the skin when its too ripe. The best mangoes in the world are in Guimaras Island, they are the Mangoes served to the British Royal Family, FACT! its a tiny island in the Philippines. They call that species Carabao Mangoes. They are everywhere. But the ones that come from Guimaras are fed to the Queen of England and Chairman Mao of China.
Well i haven't heard about Hamam Mango in India.... If u want a real taste of mango, then try Dussehri of Malihabad (in Lucknow), Chaunsa of Barabanki (Near Lucknow), Langra, Gulaab Khaas of Behraich (Near Indo-Nepal Border), Khas-ul-Khas of Shahabad (near Lucknow), Husn-e-Ara of Malihabad (in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India).... And dont go for Alphonso only. Alphonso is nothing.
Now I’m happy to know that there is something that tastes like my favorite flavor of yogurt, I’m lactose intolerant and after corona is over, I’m heading over to baobab town 😎

Number 1 is Bacuri, Platonia insignis We have in Brazil also, if you go to Brazil and meet Helton Muniz he has 1.500 different exotic fruit trees in his farm, you have to visit Brazil next time
Mangos from Pakistan are really good as well. Chaunsa, Langra, Saroli, and Sindhri are among the few best types available there. I wanna send you some, let me know if you're interested.
i have had sabote since i was young(i am a Vietnamese so there are lots of those) and it is honestly one of the best fruits out there, and it makes a great smoothie too.
Very interesting and diverse range. Be good to have the botanic name listed as well (even if ?). Rose apple not endemic to the U.S. though. Not sure why you Americans have to talk so loudly though? Not sure if hearing is an issue in States but it sure aint in the rest of the developed world!
You should taste panganapalli mango from india, that is called so in Tamil nadu, I don't know what it is called else where but that mango can flutter your heart and give butterflies in your tummy just when it is being passed by your way, mom puts it in rice basket to ripen it, when ever she opens to scoop rice, the whole house gets affected by it's aroma
waiting for the next top 10, i have ordered so many of the top10 fruit trees that it is forcing me to add a sun room on my home, i,have over 60 citrus and all sorts of unusal friut trees it is additive.
Mangosteens are my favorite fruit. You have no idea how stoked I was to hear Garcinia was at the top of your list. I was literally fist-pumping like my team won the Super Bowl. Now I need to get my hands on Garcinia Intermedia!
By the way, that fruit was not Garcinia intermedia. I think it was a Platonia insignis, but it was not a Garcinia intermedia. Intermedia is sour and has a small amount of flesh.
Lived in Nigeria for 3 years, On our compound there was a very healthy and vibrant Mango tree. I used to pick the fruits off myself to eat as a kid, mainly red, but with some yellow when ripe, not the green crap you get in Tesco, those are way under ripe! Take the Tesco Mango home if you want to "ripen" it by leaving it in a bowl, but its NO WHERE near the same as picking a proper ripe one from the wild! The Mangos were awesome, a truly great child hood picking those bad boys for free. But...........there was another. It exceeded those juicy Mangos ! It was a fairly small shrub looking thing, not the mighty tree of the Mango! It was the Guava, if the fruits were available us kids always made a bee line for the Guava before the mighty Mango. So there you have it, there is a rival to the Mango!
For me, it's everything in peak season ripeness: Summer Indian alphonso mango! June German freshly harvested strawberries. A simple crisp juicy sweet and sour apple in fall. A fresh date of unbelievable sweetness and creamyness. A ripe cherimoya. A pineapple. Blackberries in my childhood plucked from my grandmas garden. Cherries fresh from the trea.
Yet I live in the part where it grows and yet to see any in stores or in the wild. Like on close to the edge of where it grows maybe I need to go to smaller stores and maybe I could find some but its hard to even find stuff that those big chains have.
custard apple is also very common here in the philippines, But for me, custard apple tastes like sugar apple. I love your show, I am amazed by the fruits that are very unfamiliar.
Some of my family live in Vietnam and have a big rose apple tree in their front yard. When I went to visit, I would always pick them off the tree and eat them. They are so delicious! Sweet, juicy, floral, crunchy, hydrating. A lot of the rose apples I've found at Asian supermarkets in North America taste bland and watery. I guess my family's tree produces nice and sweet ones!
Another very perishable and hard to find berry i grew up eating in texas is the mulberry. Very mild sweetness when ripe(purple) but sour and tart when unripened(green to red). Makes for a VERY strong purple dye when ripe. Like a permenent marker haha
