Hi Jared😊🙏🏻😇 I'm your fan from Russia. Lately I've become very interested in your videos on TH-cam. I came across your channel by accident. So I decided to tell you about one unusual fruit. I myself found out that it exists a couple of years ago, when I accidentally came across its red fruits in the garden. It's mostly just a weed. The plant is called Thladiantha dubia. When studying Wikipedia, it turned out that it grows throughout the entire Far East (from the Far Eastern part of Russia to Thailand) It is a liana with fruits similar to cucumbers (cucumber is its relative) In the fall, when the plant dies, its red fruits similar to bright light bulbs remain hanging on the trees.. They taste sweet with a slight peppery flavor! Maybe someday you will be able to make a video about this fruit! I wish you and your channel all the best. Byeeeee😀
Have you ever tasted a fruit of the syngonium plant? There is an interesting post about it on Instagram A common houseplant not much is known about its fruit
My general assumption is that Aroids have toxic fruit (Monstera deliciosa being an exemption). Interesting to hear that there may be others. @user-lq4po4jd4f
Im kinda suprised you get to have one of these, these were EXTREMELY rare until a couple years ago even here in Brazil. Mr Lorenzi traveled to a spot where locals said it was a little river side with 2 or 3 trees of these fruit , he found them with a dry annona hanging and this is were he recovered some seeds. it was an extremely rare species growing in a very small and specific territory. He may have saved it from extintion.
If you love Annona’s you should try the royal kepel apple! It’s very rare and a near extinct fruit found only in Central Java, Indonesia. It’s considered a fruit of royalty because it makes all your body secretions like sweat including urine, feces, saliva smell pleasant and aromatic.
If that's true, Indonesia is sitting on a potential gold mine. Obviously it would take years of cultivation to produce stable crops, but a fruit like that would be highly desired around the world in the beauty industry, the pseudo-health industry, and as a status symbol.
the species we have here 🇵🇭 is the green one. We call it "guyabano" .... We have the sour variety and the sweet veriety,, unfourtunately the sweet one died coz of the other fruit trees over grown it and covered it from sunlight... What i used to make is i get the unripe fruits then slice it thin, then i fry them, then cover it with caramelized brown sugar... Its a sweet treat i learned from my dad..
For me is not vermelho (red) is araticum laranja(Orange), you also can call it a araticum de raposa (Fox ' araticum ) or (Fox ' anonas) Greets from Brazil
Lmao orange is also my favorite color, but I didn't expect someone to say "I love orange food". But I do love carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, oranges.. But I'm also not a picky eater lol
So interesting that it tastes more savory than others of its type, I would have never guessed that, these types of fruits tend to always taste so tropical
I don't think savory is particularly out of character for tropical fruits. I often find mango savory, and obviously fruits like the avocado trend toward savory. 🤔
I'm more amazed that it's one that doesn't have poisonous skin. Most of the members of this group that I know of if you make the mistake of eating the skin or the seeds you are going to be regretting that for a very long time or if you ate a lot of it your family will be regretting that.
Been following you for a long time and even after years you still give me that adventure vibe I love! And the level of scientific information is perfect for me. Thank you for helping show us the world!
Im gonna go out on a limb and guess that the main reasons this fruit almost went extinct is that many people didn’t care for the taste compared to lots of other fruits and they also didn’t want to deal with all the seeds. So it got tossed aside.
There are species that doesnt spread much. the last known trees of this species grew next to a tiny extension of a river side in brazilian north east region.
@@Noneofyourbusiness.-iw6zb the biodiversity of Brazil and the rest of the Amazon basin is so incredibly cool. Right now I'm concentrating on Eugenia and Psidium species for the most part. Where I am in the NW Caribbean it is somewhat difficult to get things to work but I am grateful when I do succeed. For instance I have the Psidium eugeniaefolia purple forest guava growing in a stand of 7 mature and heavily fruiting plants. Then after research and watching one of Jared's videos I became aware that it is different from the araca una, which is Psidium myrtoides the other purple forest guava which is said to have a better taste profile. I just planted about 40 or so seeds which I got from raindance seeds along with other species and I'm really hoping they sprout, survive, thrive and give me fruit in the years to come!
Most of Brazil has incredibly bad soil (it's one of the reasons deforestation is such a problem, reforestation is unlikely to occur without a great deal of human effort) so it's entirely possible the plant that bears this fruit is too difficult to cultivate, regardless of the fruit's taste.
I just love your absolute perfect explanation and realness like is the fruit there just to say it’s a rare fruit in your dish or is it contributing anything for flavor
I find you down the YT rabbit hole and I find that I haven't heard of a lot of these fruits and it's fascinating to learn about them. Subscribed for that reason.
Nice, just tried some bright yellow african custard apple (annona senegalensis) for the first time in tenom agricultural park. Along with dozens of other fruits.
Pond apples aren't usually eaten anywhere they grow. They are, however, used as animal (horse) feed and alligators love them, hence the common name of "gator apple"
I have two ilama trees on my farm and they taste pretty good, but I still prefer soursop far more. If you look on the Bellamy Seeds or the Anderson Tropicals websites you will see maybe a hundred different cultivars of the ilama, so there is quite a diversity with them, also referred to as the old woman's sapote in the English translation of its original name. They seem to be alternate bearers as well.
@@jonathanAdam-vr1qi how would you compare ilama to cherimoya. Because for me cherimoya is far better than soursop. That’s awesome to hear though. Unfortunately I live in CT so growing them here is extremely hard without a large greenhouse which I’m looking to build soon so we’ll see. Any seeds would be appreciated though I’d pay something. Bellamy is expensive af lol
@mitchellsousa484 Typically, people who grow lowland Annonas can't grow cherimoya (an alpine species that can't handle summer heat) and, sometimes, vice versa. In soursop territory, the hybrid "atemoya" must be grown instead (it got some heat tolerance from its sugar apple parent)
YEAH A. SPINESCENS. There's awesome beetles that eat these, huge yellow and black beasts. I've heard some specimens are used medicinally. This tree tends to be even worse for individual cultivars than other annona. Instead of that sandy grit you just get dookie flavor. Supposedly some cultivars even have a deep and rich pumpkin flavor. This is one of the species I want to use to hybridize in the future, I am extremely excited to watch this video now.
Oh yeah, there is an actual A. Muricata that is yellow. In Africa there's two yellow/ orange annona. A. Senegalensis and A. Stenophylla. Stenophylla is actually insane in that it's an annona that spreads via rhizomes, and has annual not perennial growth (it can survive but rarely more than two years), on top of this it's drought resistant. When you were searching for orange custard apples I feel like you were after A. Senegalensis not A. Reticulata. They are another annona who has similar name problems to Spinescens. If you ever go back to Africa, check out the far east, you'll find them there near the swamp regions.
@@Sgt.Groove Another couple weird facts about A. Stenophylla, the reason it has that growth habit is because it is designed to grow in savannas where fire is a regular occurrence, so it is designed to burn back frequently. Additionally, since it comes from upland regions, it is one of the cold hardiest non-Asimina annonaceae, IIRC down into the 20's Fahrenheit. I've personally theorized that this in combination with the rhizomatous habit could make it possible to grow in some fairly temperate regions, as long as the ground doesn't freeze. Haven't tried this yet but its very promising.
@@StuffandThings_ It's one I've studied in detail, it's awesome! I wanna use it to make hybrid species to hopefully, one day, allow for indoor annona grow ops. The downside is, Africa has really funky soil there and the growing requirements aren't well known. I hope someday I'm able to grow them, thank you for sharing
I'm from Brazil and recently I ate a species of nona that grows in high altitudes, that tastes like sardines with tomato sauce. It is sweet... But has this weird taste, specially if it's very ripe. My friend said it tastes like vomit. But I liked it. It has some creamyness, kind of oily. It doesn't get super red in colour. It's more yellowish
@@NotIdefix the fruit has been shown to reduce inflamtion in mice studies, and might also have beneficial cancer reducing properties. The seeds aren't edible, you're correct, they contain Annonacin which is a neurotoxin. So never ever, Ever, eat the seeds. But the flesh of the fruit legit has studied health benefits (healthline has an article on soursop and cites studies in it's sources) so it's a contradiction in that sense.
I ❤ Anona fruits. I live down in Ecuador decades ago and and they were all over. People also called them cherimoya. They were sublimely delicious I think maybe the pawpaw from the mid Atlantic usa is also an anona, although its not quite as delicious alas
Pond apples grow everywhere in the Florida Everglades and near other bodies of water. I’ve heard they taste terrible but I’d like to try it one day. I like foods many other people don’t.
Looks similar to an African annona. Annona stenophylla, been trying to get my hands on some seeds. Now I have a new obsession to try and get my hands on!!
I am not that surprised that this fruit tastes a bit like a carrot it probably contains a lot of beta carotene pigment which a lot of orange fruits do and that also gives it its vibrant orange color
@teacul that's what I understand. But the ones at the market I go to apparently are not lol. They're hard. I've tried paper bag, plastic bag, a bag with a banana, no bag just open air.. they start to rot. The parts that are not rotting are still hard.. the only time I've had a good one is when I find them soft already. Also another thing about those kinds of fruits.. like bananas, sure they can ripen off the plant, but no matter what, they will not produce more sugar or nutrients, when you pick them that's it, they're cut off from nutrients. Also, it doesn't matter if they are picked too early... or frozen. Tomatoes are a perfect example. You can pick a green tomato & let it sit. Eventually it turns red, but you want to pick it when it starts showing red already. It will be an ok tomato. But if you pick it when it's green & still hard, you won't get a good red tomato. You're going to have to eat it green. Ifyou let it vine ripen, it's full of flavor & nutrients.
I just tried kentucky coffetree seeds cooked green, it was good. Like giant edamame or lupin beans. There's info about it on a site called Forager Chef, he calls them Mastadon Peas. Might make a nice video now while it's in season
As perishable as (north american) paw-paw? It is in the annonaceae family, and for me personally, best eaten when it's over ripe and close to spoiling.
Even if it isn't as good tasting as the other fruits in the species, at least it might be useful for crossbreeding with other cherimoya fruits to create new colorful and good tasting hybrids. And even if color doesn't matter much to me, a colorful fruit might have better success gaining popularity in North American markets, something that regular cherimoya fruits have not managed.
Next time you're in Australia, try the fruits of the Zig-Zag Vine, Melodorum leichardtii. They are bright orange, sweet and tasty and they are in the same plant family as custard apples, ie the Annonaceae.
doubt they ship to UK. but my fig tree has fruited for the first time, so i have figs to look forward to, i finished the blueberries today and have plumbs ripe
Very cool, wonder if you can hybridize it somehow. Pumped for the pond apple video, there’s video somewhere of an alligator walking up to a pond apple gobbling it up, apparently it’s a common enough occurrence it’s sometimes called alligator apple
I think next time on the juice you need to Stir It Up again before drinking look like it had some separation on the top so I think that's why you was getting more lime taste
There is also native annona with the same colour with this in my country. I forgot the name but It grow on Java Island, I bought and taste it when I go to Purwokerto
I have found some pond apple trees in my hometown in Jalisco, Mexico but sadly haven't been able to get even close to the fruits since they're far from the shore in a lagoon with crocodiles. Maybe someday I'll get a boat and/or a long stick to grab some
Anona/Atis is part of Kapampangan cuisine. Eating them brings back great childhood memories visiting my grandparents in the old world. Instead of latin salsa perhaps try a SE Asian chutney?
With these fruits that have seeds with the pulpy parts stuck to them, or a juicy but stringy, I often find that the thing to do is to squash them with you fingers without breaking the seeds, into a pan with just enough water to wet them, and then adding some wine yeast and stirring now and then. Whaat often happens is that the bubbles from the ferment lift the pulp off the seeds, which go to the bottom, and the strings float on the bubbles to the top. So your fruit (or stalk as I do this mostly with rhubarb) is nicely separated and in the middle is a great fizzy drink (or the starter of wine), with stones and the bottom and a drier,floating cake on top that you can lift off while the bubbles are hoding it up. In most cases you can have your juice, and still use the floating pulp in a cake or pudding or bread if you just adjust acidity and sweetness to taste.
I'd love if you could share growing info on fruits. For example, growing zones, dimensions, and can it grow in a pot that can be brought inside for winter. Plus, pros and cons.
definitely wondering if "like a carrot", here, is just what beta-carotene tastes like i had these chew candies (like starbursts) from a dollar store a few times (over a decade ago), that were imported from turkey; two of the flavours, orange and green apple, were explicitly coloured with beta-carotene and chlorophyll (they were in the ingredients list and labelled as colouring), and i could taste some slight "carrotness" and "leafyness" in each - not much, but not so little as to think it was my imagination of course, it's also very possible the "beta-carotene" colouring listed in the ingredients was more like "reduced carrot-juice", so the taste might have been more straight-forward than even that, ha
Looks great, and I love carrots, but I would rather make it more like carrot butter and apply it to a pasta. [focusing on a lot of butter, much less garlic, and no pepper] It could also work on rice or a white vegetable [such as broccoli or white squash], maybe on butternut squash.
Have you ever tasted a fruit of the syngonium plant? There is an interesting post about it on Instagram A common houseplant that not much is known about its fruit
Did anybody else notice how that bread looked like it resembled the inside of a dragon fruit? I wonder how they could do that with bread that's really cool.
I was walking in the jungle in Panama and I smelled something... I looked down and saw what looked like an orange soursop split open on the ground, having fallen from the tree in perfect ripeness. It was about 8-11" long and the color of cantaloup. I shooed away the fruit flies and tried it. It was a lot like soursop and winter squash had a baby.
It would be wonderful if you could mention when some of these species are known to be hardy, because sometimes seeds are available and, living in Middle Europe, it would be very helpful to know if some of those species could be grown in the garden.
Because you talked about its savory applications, I was wondering how it was fried in just a bit of butter (or a vegan alternative), the way one might cook plantain
I don't think fruit based dips are bizzar at all. Some may need to be mixed with vegtables but others may be amazing for dips or spreads of all kinds as the foundation ingrediant. I love this channel and would love to see see more fruits displayed and tasted as dips, as I'm sure in most of these places they are in some shape or form used for dips and or spreads. If not u could be the first to try. I'd also love to hear or see (if it exists) hygene products that are make or that you think could be made from these fruits, because I always said that traveling the world isn't just about sights, sound, taste, touch, but also smell, and it would be boring to go world wide and all you smell is Axe body wash/oldspice deoderant/tommy cologne. I'm sure some of these fruits are used, or could be used for hygene... I have always told myself one of the companies I'd want to start is one were exotic plants of all kinds would be used to create hygene products, with facts of were they are from. While some may be a combination that makes them from all over the world others would be made from ingredients that are from specific areas.
fruits of the same color have similar chemical compounds, some have the same exact compounds, thats why it taste like so many other orange/reddish fruit
For more evidence that they are NOT all the same, check out the annona playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLvGFkMrO1ZxJ2FMzRxfHALbAUa4IVfMQU.html
To make it more confusing, there are some other 'red ____ ' Annona fruits. E.g. Annona nutans & Annona cornifolia
Hi Jared😊🙏🏻😇
I'm your fan from Russia. Lately I've become very interested in your videos on TH-cam. I came across your channel by accident.
So I decided to tell you about one unusual fruit. I myself found out that it exists a couple of years ago, when I accidentally came across its red fruits in the garden. It's mostly just a weed. The plant is called Thladiantha dubia. When studying Wikipedia, it turned out that it grows throughout the entire Far East (from the Far Eastern part of Russia to Thailand)
It is a liana with fruits similar to cucumbers (cucumber is its relative)
In the fall, when the plant dies, its red fruits similar to bright light bulbs remain hanging on the trees..
They taste sweet with a slight peppery flavor!
Maybe someday you will be able to make a video about this fruit!
I wish you and your channel all the best. Byeeeee😀
@@GromNeba welcome! that's a cool looking one. reminds me of tindora, which I reviewed recently. I'll keep an eye out for this.

If you love Annona’s you should try the royal kepel apple! It’s very rare and a near extinct fruit found only in Central Java, Indonesia. It’s considered a fruit of royalty because it makes all your body secretions like sweat including urine, feces, saliva smell pleasant and aromatic.
Is this the reason royalty think their shit don’t stink? :-)
hell yeah
If that's true, Indonesia is sitting on a potential gold mine. Obviously it would take years of cultivation to produce stable crops, but a fruit like that would be highly desired around the world in the beauty industry, the pseudo-health industry, and as a status symbol.

Tomatoes are a perfect example. You can pick a green tomato & let it sit. Eventually it turns red, but you want to pick it when it starts showing red already. It will be an ok tomato. But if you pick it when it's green & still hard, you won't get a good red tomato. You're going to have to eat it green. Ifyou let it vine ripen, it's full of flavor & nutrients.
If I was a sci fi writer for TV and i needed an alien looking fruit, I would choose this.
I recently heard a story with calabash bowls in it, and I remembered it, this fruit knowledge doesnt come up often but when it does its fun as heck
I just tried kentucky coffetree seeds cooked green, it was good. Like giant edamame or lupin beans. There's info about it on a site called Forager Chef, he calls them Mastadon Peas. Might make a nice video now while it's in season
I made atemoya yogurt dip once for some breadfruit Frits its was very good
i absolutely love custard apples, i really want to try a red/orange one
Wow, I've never seen an orange guanabana!
Best types of fruits ever and in Brazil we have some specific names :)
That juice you made looks beautiful lol
Never knew there was so many fruits around the globe I wish I could try half of what you had
I learn something from you every time! Very cool
You should also try the Cerrado Araticum Annona crassiflora, native to Brazil too. Im sure you will like!
As perishable as (north american) paw-paw? It is in the annonaceae family, and for me personally, best eaten when it's over ripe and close to spoiling.
Even if it isn't as good tasting as the other fruits in the species, at least it might be useful for crossbreeding with other cherimoya fruits to create new colorful and good tasting hybrids.
And even if color doesn't matter much to me, a colorful fruit might have better success gaining popularity in North American markets, something that regular cherimoya fruits have not managed.
wow it's so vibrant and cool looking
Next time you're in Australia, try the fruits of the Zig-Zag Vine, Melodorum leichardtii. They are bright orange, sweet and tasty and they are in the same plant family as custard apples, ie the Annonaceae.
Great video as always, Jared!
That dip looks so good. I don't like annona fruits but I really want to grow these now.
doubt they ship to UK. but my fig tree has fruited for the first time, so i have figs to look forward to, i finished the blueberries today and have plumbs ripe
Try aligator apple it’s a Florida native/ North America native fruit that grows everywhere here. It kinda tastes bland but it’s pretty cool.
Very cool, wonder if you can hybridize it somehow. Pumped for the pond apple video, there’s video somewhere of an alligator walking up to a pond apple gobbling it up, apparently it’s a common enough occurrence it’s sometimes called alligator apple
I think next time on the juice you need to Stir It Up again before drinking look like it had some separation on the top so I think that's why you was getting more lime taste
There is also native annona with the same colour with this in my country. I forgot the name but It grow on Java Island, I bought and taste it when I go to Purwokerto
I have found some pond apple trees in my hometown in Jalisco, Mexico but sadly haven't been able to get even close to the fruits since they're far from the shore in a lagoon with crocodiles. Maybe someday I'll get a boat and/or a long stick to grab some
Anona/Atis is part of Kapampangan cuisine. Eating them brings back great childhood memories visiting my grandparents in the old world. Instead of latin salsa perhaps try a SE Asian chutney?
New upload yay!
Medium sized custard apple in my courtyard.. ohhboyy we love it.doesnt give enough fruit though😮
With these fruits that have seeds with the pulpy parts stuck to them, or a juicy but stringy, I often find that the thing to do is to squash them with you fingers without breaking the seeds, into a pan with just enough water to wet them, and then adding some wine yeast and stirring now and then. Whaat often happens is that the bubbles from the ferment lift the pulp off the seeds, which go to the bottom, and the strings float on the bubbles to the top. So your fruit (or stalk as I do this mostly with rhubarb) is nicely separated and in the middle is a great fizzy drink (or the starter of wine), with stones and the bottom and a drier,floating cake on top that you can lift off while the bubbles are hoding it up. In most cases you can have your juice, and still use the floating pulp in a cake or pudding or bread if you just adjust acidity and sweetness to taste.
I'd love if you could share growing info on fruits. For example, growing zones, dimensions, and can it grow in a pot that can be brought inside for winter. Plus, pros and cons.
definitely wondering if "like a carrot", here, is just what beta-carotene tastes like
i had these chew candies (like starbursts) from a dollar store a few times (over a decade ago), that were imported from turkey; two of the flavours, orange and green apple, were explicitly coloured with beta-carotene and chlorophyll (they were in the ingredients list and labelled as colouring), and i could taste some slight "carrotness" and "leafyness" in each - not much, but not so little as to think it was my imagination
of course, it's also very possible the "beta-carotene" colouring listed in the ingredients was more like "reduced carrot-juice", so the taste might have been more straight-forward than even that, ha
We need you to make a series in Miami Fruits and Truly Tropical.
Can you make a video about the corazon it look s like the same family we have them in Puerto RICO
Have you ever tried a red custard apple? I’ve been seeing videos of them and they look so good! Great video as always.
Looks great, and I love carrots, but I would rather make it more like carrot butter and apply it to a pasta. [focusing on a lot of butter, much less garlic, and no pepper]
It could also work on rice or a white vegetable [such as broccoli or white squash], maybe on butternut squash.
The orange anona is common in south Angola where it grows wild and is known as wild anona.
Have you ever tasted a fruit of the syngonium plant?
There is an interesting post about it on Instagram
A common houseplant that not much is known about its fruit
Did anybody else notice how that bread looked like it resembled the inside of a dragon fruit? I wonder how they could do that with bread that's really cool.
As somebody that is from a place that this grows like weeds (Both the Mamey zapote and guanabana). We normally drink it in a milkshake :).
You need to make a pumpkin smoothie type concoction out of this spiny Annona - thick and milkshake-like
Kind of looks like a human heart.
I was walking in the jungle in Panama and I smelled something... I looked down and saw what looked like an orange soursop split open on the ground, having fallen from the tree in perfect ripeness. It was about 8-11" long and the color of cantaloup. I shooed away the fruit flies and tried it. It was a lot like soursop and winter squash had a baby.
Your videos just consistently make my day man, thanks for your efforts!
Glad to hear it!
Have you tried making a dip that incorporates this fruit with avocado? The color would be lost, but I bet it would be amazing.
I use pond apple as rootstock in florida because its flood resistant and rootknot nematode resistant
The last soursop I had tasted literally like cotton candy, so the description of the flavor of this one doesn’t sound great. But wow is it pretty.
8:56 that looks delicious. I wouldn’t be able to help myself from putting a little vodka in that
It would be wonderful if you could mention when some of these species are known to be hardy, because sometimes seeds are available and, living in Middle Europe, it would be very helpful to know if some of those species could be grown in the garden.
When you mentioned dip and carrots, I was waiting for you to troll the audience by dipping it in Ranch dressing. 😁
Another great video from the fruit king. (NOT AN INSULT) lol
Try the Bangladeshi sapodilla fruit next!
I'd use it like a persimmon, & render the pulp to make cookies. or a sweet quick bread.
I saw that blue bread! Yum :)
I wish most Annona fruit wasn't impossible to find!
Great video!
Because you talked about its savory applications, I was wondering how it was fried in just a bit of butter (or a vegan alternative), the way one might cook plantain
I don't think fruit based dips are bizzar at all. Some may need to be mixed with vegtables but others may be amazing for dips or spreads of all kinds as the foundation ingrediant.
I love this channel and would love to see see more fruits displayed and tasted as dips, as I'm sure in most of these places they are in some shape or form used for dips and or spreads. If not u could be the first to try.
I'd also love to hear or see (if it exists) hygene products that are make or that you think could be made from these fruits, because I always said that traveling the world isn't just about sights, sound, taste, touch, but also smell, and it would be boring to go world wide and all you smell is Axe body wash/oldspice deoderant/tommy cologne. I'm sure some of these fruits are used, or could be used for hygene...
I have always told myself one of the companies I'd want to start is one were exotic plants of all kinds would be used to create hygene products, with facts of were they are from. While some may be a combination that makes them from all over the world others would be made from ingredients that are from specific areas.
There’s a Hawaiian flower that’s used for shampoo.
fruits of the same color have similar chemical compounds, some have the same exact compounds, thats why it taste like so many other orange/reddish fruit
I wonder if you could make a pie out of it, like pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie. It looks like it would be thick enough.
looks like pumpkin vibes should try it in pie form like a pumpkin pie the cinnamon and sugar might wake it up
Always appreciate your articulateness! [unrelated:]
"Is this worth doing?" [cat leaves room]
Itd be cool to see you plant the seeds from the fruit you get too
