I managed to make jam out of the petals. First you have to dice them and put them in the oven for about 40 minutes (baking tray with a little water and covered in tinfoil), then you throw all in a blender and turn it until you purée it. Run that through a sieve and ONLY then you will get almost all the fibers out of your elephant apple (if you don't follow these steps you will end up with a green coconut husk in your hands). Now just put it on a pan, add sugar and simmer it until you get the consistency of jam. Its actually pretty good with cheese, specially cheese bread.
They taste delicious after cooked , sweet and sour, you can also make spicy jam out of it , also the seeds are quite useful to use like a conditioner for hair like the hibiscus flower. if it's in good condition some actually smells like shampoos you find in bottles.
In Assamese it's called Ouu(elephent) tenga (Citrus/sour). It's available in abundance in Assam. Regularly used in Assamese cuisine with lentil soups , fish curry's as an souring agent.
the cool thing is that the ''petals" of the fruit are the actual petals of the plant's flower. When the fruit starts developing the flower folds in and forms a shell around the fruit.
It is called Chalta. When ripe, it becomes yellow and can be eaten with salt and dry chili powder. It is also very good for making pickles and very tasty. Available in Bangladesh, India.
My wife reminded me that we had some elephant Apple pickle from a relative of hers from Trinidad. It was very intense and had more of that garlic funk that you described. It looked far less processed than the one you had, and had large chunks of the petals with the outer skin still on. So you may want to try some Caribbean markets if you find yourself craving the flavor. Unfortunately it was far too advanced for my palate so we ended up getting rid of it after a few months. She also gave us some chili and "raw" garlic infused tamarind balls that were spicy sweet and savory that I found repulsive at first, but eded up eating the entire bag. Now I start drooling every time I think of them(need to find a napkin)
The pickle in the video would be call kuchela Mostly eaten with curry dishes Not the regular way to make pickles but its very delicious with savory food indian spiced foods
The thing about Indian "pickle" is that is it not "pickles." There's lime pickle, mango pickle and others. Salty, spicy, and dry. They are not soaked in a brine. They typically are used to season rice or curries when you are eating them. A teaspoon will serve for a whole meal, generally. I lived in South India for a year and loved curd rice with lime pickle. My favorite lunch. I'm a real salt lover, so this was high on my list.
Omg! I found a tree full of those fruits on my college and looked for a video of yours reviewing it a few weeks ago to know more about it and got so sad when I didn’t find anything I’m so glad that you finally done it!!
Same for me, i was walking through cairns (far north queensland, oz) before christmas and found them in the street from trees planted at the side of the road in the business center. I had to grab some, eventually 'planted' them in a mixed fruit forest at the barron river in mareeba - without tasting them. Now finally i know them to he edible, i wish i would have tried them. I hope i will find them again! Thanks. By the way, mine were bright yellow, orange-ish, so i assume yours is unripe?
@@AlbinoAxolotl I guess you don't watch every video because he uses that word quite often with slimy things. You didn't Supply him a new word and it seems in your comment that we all know what mucilaginous means. Have a great day! :-) isn't that such a great word though?! If it rolls off your tongue easily it is not only an interesting word but can leave some people looking at you like waa? Lol :-)
Elizabeth Shaw ? I don’t know if you meant to reply to me since I wasn’t the OP commenting on the definition of mucilaginous. I was just responding about how apt and unappetizing the word is in this case... (edit: also that mucilaginous is far more unappetizing than the word “slimy,” hence my preference for using that word over the other)
My cousins in America say they use horn like 3 times a year here I use 3 times when I am still in my garage. Ok that pulp we never use in anything. The Patels we put in currys and pickles.
Such a fascinating fruit -- I think with the slime and the garlicky flavor, it would be pretty good sauteed. I wonder if the elephants would like it that way, too! By the way, I wore my mandrake root t-shirt to rehearsal yesterday and all the other dancers were obsessed. Expect some orders!
I have a gig with Jill Sigman's Thinkdance at Gibney on October 18, 19, and 20. Jill is awesome -- her last show was about weeds, and she has a book about the many huts that she has built out of garbage. I know you have done fruit foraging in NYC, but Jill has also taught me how to forage edible weeds, some of which are actually super delicious. So, Jill and all her company members are all about unusual plants and eating them.
I got my t-shirt last week as well and went to a thing called the Strange Folk festive and had SO many people comment on how much they liked it! I let them know where they could get one ;-)
KrishnaWashburn, wow! That sounds so interesting. Foraging weeds is such a great skill to have, I only know a few basics, but still feel my perspective shifted when I walk through a park. Good luck with the show!
imguessing he has a backlog of videos maybe and probably maybe arranging the order or trying to get the old ones out faster i know some youtubers do, but who knows they are all interesting regardless of origin in my opinion.
Not you calling the fruit a 'jerk'... As someone who loves to have them I definately agree.. Also my tribe from NE India calls it "sompa" and we don't actually eat the pulp, we eat the "petals"... the softer ones nearer to the pulp. We usually cook it with fish.
It only ripens on the tree, have to wait till outside becomes yellow. The flowers are very pretty. The raw fruit is used as a sour spice. I am lucky to have one tree growing in my garden.
We just discovered the beautiful tree by are garden entrance is an elephant apple (Dillenia indica) tree. The flowers the tree produces are stunning and the fruit, well, let's leave that for the elephants; )
Had my first mangosteen last week, after getting into your videos. I've been trying fruit a lot more lately. Mangosteen was good. I tried the dragon fruit as well. Refreshing but not much flavor or sweetness. I found them at the local Walmart here in Oklahoma. Not the best variety of fruit so I was surprised to see them there. I also did an apple taste test out of curiosity, I tried various variety's that I was curious about. 5 different varieties, not including red Delicious or granny smith. Just the ones I wasn't sure i have tried in the past. Out of the five, gala won, and jazz was a close runner up. Pink lady was good too. Thanks for turning me onto the world of fruiting lol. 👊
we use this fruit in Trinidad and Tobago, we curry it, also make chutney, and red preserved the center is the seed, we do not eat we use the layers mostly. by cooking, love your videos.
I would love to see you doing vlogs about getting these fruits and exploring the world. I also think your TH-cam channel could grow a lot quicker if you did vlogs. Btw love your videos even though I have just found you I have watched at least 30 videos
I open my elephant apples with a machete! XD Trivia: here in Brazil people call these fruits "coco de Adão" or "Saco de Adão", witch translates as "Adam's scrotum". haha They are not usually eat, but used in local medicine (I use them in my kombuchas, however).
I would love to find a source for this tree here in Pinellas county Florida. One of the local botanical gardens here has a huge tree of it on their grounds. The bark peels and has various shades of reddish, beige,and mahogany. The leaves are evergreen, so very large, rigid, leathery and beautifully corrugated. It produces an abundance of fruit which the squirrells don't seem to bother It's just such a gorgeous tree.. wind resistant, drought and deluge tolerant. It tolerates a light frost. I've ordered seeds online several times but I always get old dead seeds 😭
Omg somebody plzz tell this guy that the slimy part is not the part to eat. And it doesn't tastes like garlic or onion. The inner layer of petal can be eaten.. It tastes sour btw not garlicy
People misuse the horn a lot in India and Bangladesh. I live in Bangladesh and when I drive, I rarely even need to use the horn. It's strange how other drivers and I drive on the same roads with the same situations but my usage is so minimal. It gets really annoying to be woken up by stupid drivers yanking their horns excessively. I wish it wasn't like this.
If you can get ahold of a true woodapple (Limonia acidissima), one that is not spoiled, in Assam, it would make a great video. It might be time for your do-over video with a fresh and unspoiled wood apple, so you can finally see why it is so good. Also I heard of elephant apples when I saw them on a tree at Redland
Love your channel, thanks for all the informative videos (mouth is still watering over that $80 Japanese mango). You should do some videos on wild north american fruits. Some that come to mind are the salmonberry and thimbleberry.
Excited for the thimble berry video! It's true, a lot of them pretty much only grow wild and are not cultivated at all. Another interesting wild fruit is the may apple. I saw the plant on your chokecherry video at 1:00, but it wasn't mentioned. Seems like you got to be really careful eating it though...unripe ones are poisonous.
I am assuming you are back in NYC. It will be great if the fans (like me) of your channel can all meet and do a fruit crawl / exploration through the ethnic markets in NYC. I really enjoyed your posts from NE India - it would be great to meet and exchange our travel notes. My wife and I did a 7 day tour through Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh last December - January.
Oh cool, I was there in March. How did you like Arunachal Pradesh? I spent a few days in Ziro. And yes, Ive been thinking of doing something like that in the future. Glad to hear that you're interested!
Arunachal Pradesh was great - we got lucky that were able to take the subsidized helicopter service from Guwahati straight to Tawang. Tawang was magical and very beautiful ! I have lived in many parts of India and traveled through 22 countries but some the most friendliest people in the world were in NE India. It is an authentic experience and still not very touristy... and far less traffic, people, and annoying honking :)
Its actually a huge subset of species not just pot, the sativa and indica aren't weed the cannabis part is. So cannabis sativa and cannabis indica describe the type of cannabis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sativum
hysterical ! the balance of you and the exotic places you visit is sort of amazing - I just hope all you come in contact with appreciate your sense of humor !
It's very sweet and very sour and delicious , but hard to shallow because it's super fibrous when it's used fresh in cooking . So you need to chew and spit. But you can make spicy jams from it which is easy to eat.
I wish I could find one online but having a hard time but, my favorite fruit is soursop shame that people in the US don't have it on a regular basis. D: If you haven't tried it please try it, it's awesome! :D
Did you close the bathroom door so your backdrop was no longer a toilet?! There is a haunted hotel room in India. Think of lime pickle in India it's dry as well and you can buy it here in the supermarket.
Hahahahahahaha....when you bent over to spit out the elephant apple, your toilet appeared in the background, you know, where other bad stuff goes.......what a coincidence!!! Mwahaha!!😂
Like your shows a lot. You're sweet I'd say a 7. One video you apologized for dirty finger nails. I experienced PTSD. It almost ended my bromance. But I do enjoy your videos.
Wow, finally the fruit eater in India..Wow Get used to noise here ☺️ When one sixth of the world's population stay in a small country, it happens a lot. And this one we mostly consider as a vegetable than a fruit. You should try it pickled
We just bought it. I try to eat it raw. Believe it or not, it tastes disgusting. 🤮 Not many people can eat them. After I tried my daughter call me “ You are not human and you are animal “ and I think she right. LOL . 🤢
Check out this review of an extremely rare relative of the Elephant Apple: th-cam.com/video/wFuR9PQdhps/w-d-xo.html
It's actually Used in Curry to give a Tangy taste. Specially With fresh water small fish.
And the slimmy Seed can be used as conditioner for Hair.
I managed to make jam out of the petals. First you have to dice them and put them in the oven for about 40 minutes (baking tray with a little water and covered in tinfoil), then you throw all in a blender and turn it until you purée it. Run that through a sieve and ONLY then you will get almost all the fibers out of your elephant apple (if you don't follow these steps you will end up with a green coconut husk in your hands). Now just put it on a pan, add sugar and simmer it until you get the consistency of jam.
Its actually pretty good with cheese, specially cheese bread.
চালতা, It is used raw in lentil soup(dal) to make the soup sour, the raw fruit is also used to make jam.
They taste delicious after cooked , sweet and sour, you can also make spicy jam out of it , also the seeds are quite useful to use like a conditioner for hair like the hibiscus flower. if it's in good condition some actually smells like shampoos you find in bottles.
In Assamese it's called Ouu(elephent) tenga (Citrus/sour). It's available in abundance in Assam. Regularly used in Assamese cuisine with lentil soups , fish curry's as an souring agent.
Im amazed by how many fruits in Asia have either an onion or garlic taste to them.
Teresa Simpson
It’s so strange! I never would have imagined. I wonder why ☺️
SPOILER ALERT!
@@tkr6536 Watch the video first then idiot.
This doesn't have any garlic or onion taste ,its super sour and sweet.
Layers, they have LAYERS.
thats deep
So does parfaits and everyone lives parfait.
the cool thing is that the ''petals" of the fruit are the actual petals of the plant's flower. When the fruit starts developing the flower folds in and forms a shell around the fruit.
@@foozlebagel7488 woah! thats so cool
We make super yummy chutney with this..
I've seen this growing in the Brisbane botanical gardens and have always wondered what it was like... I still want to try it!!
We call these 'Chalta' here!
They taste quite nice when made into a chutney.
It is called Chalta. When ripe, it becomes yellow and can be eaten with salt and dry chili powder. It is also very good for making pickles and very tasty. Available in Bangladesh, India.
Panama Jack But, good point about that particular fruit being underripe.

Interesting! I'll have to try another brand I think. Same on the tamarind balls, I wasn't a fan at first, but now I love them.
The pickle in the video would be call kuchela
Mostly eaten with curry dishes
Not the regular way to make pickles but its very delicious with savory food indian spiced foods
In Trinidad, we call this fruit Chaltar and make Chaltar amchar. I love it.

I love it too.

By the way, mine were bright yellow, orange-ish, so i assume yours is unripe?
i want to see elephants eating these 😍 i love how they just put massive fruits in their mouths and eat them whole.
My first thought was that this was going to be about marula, a favorite of elephants in southern Africa. Someday.
So if I mix some unripe grape and garlic and then add some lube, I’ll have something like this?
Not too far off.
@@WeirdExplorer lol 🤣
It doesn't taste anything like garlic tho
You explain taste of fruits really well & in a manner that any layman who doesn't have lots of experience in the fruity world understands.
That slimy texture would more aptly be called mucilaginous
Mucilaginous is such a great descriptor... or maybe a terrible one! If I were to eat it I think I’d prefer to just use the word “slimy” instead!
@@AlbinoAxolotl I guess you don't watch every video because he uses that word quite often with slimy things.

How long was this video in the making? Seems like the India section was recorded a while back, that's some fine dedication to your craft, love it.
imguessing he has a backlog of videos maybe and probably maybe arranging the order or trying to get the old ones out faster i know some youtubers do, but who knows they are all interesting regardless of origin in my opinion.
Yep I've got a back log, recorded this in March. :)

It is usually dried and cooked to make a spicy preserve
U can apply Dillenia Indica seed gel for hair smoothening..and it's really works very well..
These are called O tenga in Assamese and are generally used to make sour curry for fish.
Definitely sounds like a good ingredient type food.
love these videos. always great fun editing. thanks for the effort you put in
Found these lying on the ground in a local park! thank you for this video, now I know all about it!

So glad to hear it! No matter where you live in the US some oddities will show up at markets, hope you find some more cool stuff.
Weird Explorer I'll be keeping my eye out for new things, thanks for the reply bro 👊
Go try a Gold Rush apple. Those kick butt compared to red delicious and Granny Smith.
Cool looking fruit. But the elephants can have them.
we use this fruit in Trinidad and Tobago, we curry it, also make chutney, and red preserved the center is the seed, we do not eat we use the layers mostly. by cooking, love your videos.
We call it Ou tenga (tenga means sour, any sour thing has the term tenga in Assamese) in Assamese. We add it in curry, soup.
Welcome to Assam!
That definitely reminded me of an onion visually when you opened it up, very interesting.
I would love to see you doing vlogs about getting these fruits and exploring the world. I also think your TH-cam channel could grow a lot quicker if you did vlogs. Btw love your videos even though I have just found you I have watched at least 30 videos
Thanks Molly! Thats a great idea. I may try that on my Africa trip coming up.
Theres an alcoholic drink called Amarula, its sort of like Baileys (but better).. Its made from marula fruit.. Have you ever tried it??
You do a great job explaining the flavor of the fruits
Hey, just wanted to say hi and thank you for these amazingly human video's. Love them! Take care and have a great week!
Just found your channel and i must say that im happy i did
Oh my you caught me off guard! I am more than proud to be a Patron for you. :-)
The soft inner layers are great for fish soup.
It's called chalta, and it's no more eaten raw than breadfruit. It's one of the tastiest amchar fruits.
Is there any possibilty to get one of your awesome shirts in germany? I'd really like one
Sure, I ship internationally! Shipping is a bit more, but not terrible. www.weirdexplorer.com
I open my elephant apples with a machete! XD
Trivia: here in Brazil people call these fruits "coco de Adão" or "Saco de Adão", witch translates as "Adam's scrotum". haha They are not usually eat, but used in local medicine (I use them in my kombuchas, however).
The slime reminds me of that from nattō...
I would love to find a source for this tree here in Pinellas county Florida. One of the local botanical gardens here has a huge tree of it on their grounds. The bark peels and has various shades of reddish, beige,and mahogany. The leaves are evergreen, so very large, rigid, leathery and beautifully corrugated. It produces an abundance of fruit which the squirrells don't seem to bother It's just such a gorgeous tree.. wind resistant, drought and deluge tolerant. It tolerates a light frost.

I am from Assam
We call it "Ou Tenga" ঔ টেঙা
We eat the petal as curry
Elephants love them
Wow this is so fascinating, I thought it would taste mildly sweet, like a hard nectarine or something.
If you can get ahold of a true woodapple (Limonia acidissima), one that is not spoiled, in Assam, it would make a great video. It might be time for your do-over video with a fresh and unspoiled wood apple, so you can finally see why it is so good.
Also I heard of elephant apples when I saw them on a tree at Redland
I didn't find them. I did find Bael though. I would like to try woodapple again. I'm sure it will happen eventually.
(Face distorts, spits out)
"Not bad..."
Love your channel, thanks for all the informative videos (mouth is still watering over that $80 Japanese mango). You should do some videos on wild north american fruits. Some that come to mind are the salmonberry and thimbleberry.
I've got thimble berry in the backlog :) Oddly native fruits here are some of the trickiest to find.
Excited for the thimble berry video! It's true, a lot of them pretty much only grow wild and are not cultivated at all. Another interesting wild fruit is the may apple. I saw the plant on your chokecherry video at 1:00, but it wasn't mentioned. Seems like you got to be really careful eating it though...unripe ones are poisonous.
The framing of this shot directly in front of the toilet was.....a choice 🤣
I like anything with the word indica in it
hahaha
I'm dying lol your reaction was impressive. thank you!
sir pls tell how many years this dillenia indica can survive on earth maximum?
That looks cool!
I am assuming you are back in NYC. It will be great if the fans (like me) of your channel can all meet and do a fruit crawl / exploration through the ethnic markets in NYC. I really enjoyed your posts from NE India - it would be great to meet and exchange our travel notes. My wife and I did a 7 day tour through Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh last December - January.
Oh cool, I was there in March. How did you like Arunachal Pradesh? I spent a few days in Ziro.
And yes, Ive been thinking of doing something like that in the future. Glad to hear that you're interested!
Arunachal Pradesh was great - we got lucky that were able to take the subsidized helicopter service from Guwahati straight to Tawang. Tawang was magical and very beautiful ! I have lived in many parts of India and traveled through 22 countries but some the most friendliest people in the world were in NE India. It is an authentic experience and still not very touristy... and far less traffic, people, and annoying honking :)
Do you have an episode coming up on Ziro? Never been there...
You should try marula fruit from South Africa or Namibia.
Who eats (other than elephants :)) seeds and pulp of elephant apple? only petals is used to make pickles and is used in curry.
I'm doing it for science :)
@@WeirdExplorer Love you for this!
What about dillenia sativa?
It's similar, but it has a more intense flavor.
Would love to try it :)
Lmao i didnt know it existed i was just making a weed joke. (Indica and sativa are the two main species of cannabis)
Its actually a huge subset of species not just pot, the sativa and indica aren't weed the cannabis part is. So cannabis sativa and cannabis indica describe the type of cannabis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sativum
hysterical ! the balance of you and the exotic places you visit is sort of amazing - I just hope all you come in contact with appreciate your sense of humor !
It’s like the common item in every home cuisine in Bangladesh.
Great for making masala chaltar very tasty
New vid! How did RazzUK post here two days ago did you accidentally make it public?
It reminds me of an artichoke in the way it falls apart .
They go live on three days early for patreon supporters
I'm special ;).
I'm from Bangladesh and all pickles and and chutneys made from different fruits taste more or less the same, like different ketchups taste the same
I love it when pickle
I imagine that when you cook it it would taste like artichokes or a heart of palm...
It's very sweet and very sour and delicious , but hard to shallow because it's super fibrous when it's used fresh in cooking . So you need to chew and spit. But you can make spicy jams from it which is easy to eat.
tht pulpy has to be thrown and the inner coverings has to be sliced and eaten by chilli and salt raw
I wish I could find one online but having a hard time but, my favorite fruit is soursop shame that people in the US don't have it on a regular basis. D:
If you haven't tried it please try it, it's awesome! :D
He’s had it before
Those petal are edible not those middle fruit we though them away and only eat the petals
You said it was becoming popular for curry?
Is it used to thicken the curry like okra to thicken gumbo?
I'm having 1 in my backyard!!!
And Dillenia Indica seed is not eatable .. the uper layer is eatable...and cut some pieces of it and cook it with dal..
Indica like indacouch?
I have been watching this channel for awhile now and i just have to ask what is your name
I'm Jared, nice to meet you
@@WeirdExplorer omg i didnt expect you to respond, btw i love your channel and its nice to meet you too, thanks for all the great fruit knowledge
Did you close the bathroom door so your backdrop was no longer a toilet?! There is a haunted hotel room in India. Think of lime pickle in India it's dry as well and you can buy it here in the supermarket.
It was getting so loud that I went in there and jiggled the handle, must of left the door open :P
sees indica in the scientific name
Nobody, not a soul:
Me: Weed?
Bangladeshi product, produce by square food, brand ruchi, chalta Pickles
You have wait until it ripens
Did you know the cashew comes from the fruit.
Elephant apple ... You are only to eat the Cover not those slipery seeds
the part which you ate is supposed to be the part that is discarded... The fleshy white parts are used in cooking while the center is of no use.
*No one eat raw this in India..we make pickles, chutneys by them*
And so do jareds
You are supposed to eat the outside petals and throw the inside fruit in elephant apple called chaltha.. it is not supposed to eat it in unripe form 😂
people who knows which part to eat must be laughing hard lol🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahaha....when you bent over to spit out the elephant apple, your toilet appeared in the background, you know, where other bad stuff goes.......what a coincidence!!! Mwahaha!!😂
