Recently I tasted an unknown berry like fruit In southern part of India which was sweet in texture after consuming I felt like all of my blood are getting warm. Which fruit it could be ?
I know lots of haition fruits in the swap shop in florida, theres so many exotic fruits. I'm also half haition. Things like these little berries that taste like mango and berries that taste like coconut. The mango berries are green and they are pronounces ken-nent I think or key-nt? I also have a tea plant my grandma gave me. Its a haition plant you can grow and use the leaves as tea. Also dont be suprised if your arm itches for a split second when you touch the leaves, also the flowers are pink with green buds at the bottom. When adult they have a woody trunk. They are kinda like a tree but a plant. Haition mangoes are also HUGE. SO good. Theres also these plants near the beaches in southern florida that grow berries that taste and look like grapes. They arent grapes though.
how you comented 5 days before today?
Hey, you still got a big black purpley booger seed thing from that fruit on your lip.
@@isaquedopao6667 that's what i thought
“The seeds can be used to make a flower”.
Me:” no shit it’s a seed”.
…
Also me:”oh flour”
Lmao, no shit sherlock
DUDE! I thought the same thing and didn't realize what he meant until half way through the video 🤣🤣
😆🤣🥰
I imagine oven roasting would be better at caramelizing the sugars, the microwave is more akin to steaming.
It seems unlikely but the microwave absolutely can brown and caramelize things. I know it's counterintuitive but it can keep adding heat past boiling point - steaming can't. (Unless you superheat the steam)
The problem with that fruit is finding it. Animals are usually all over them when they ripen. I bet they gotta REALLY PROTECT those in their garden.
Yeah, everytime i go out to see if i can forrage some, they are gone as soon as they rippen. Bugs, birds, rodents, everyone wants it
Yeah I feel like lots of desert fruits/veggies would be a hot commodity for any life there.
That may be why it's not really something anybody talks about out here; this species is everywhere where I live, but I never even knew it had a fruit that people could eat, let alone a delicious one. I'm very interested to eat it, but it's such an arid environment I actually do feel bad taking something from the animals who rely on it when I can simply eat something else. I will keep on the lookout, though, and perhaps make a trade with some other fruit if I find a good pod. I think I will also grow some in my back yard; apparently they must be cross-pollinated in order to produce fruit, but they grow fairly quickly. Maybe by next year I can have my own stash of this fruit.
@@radium_habit6869 Prickly Pear is avoided by some critters, but others try their best to get it lol.
Ive got lots of yucca plants, theyre very protected and they dont even want to fruit :(
0:50 “after several noise complaints, they’ve stopped being annoying”.
Impossible
I think they might have been kicked out. They are undoubtably still being annoying somewhere.
@@WeirdExplorer *undoubtedly
Glad to hear it, my ex had horrible neighbours that I ended up having to deal with, and I'm horrible with confrontation :/
@@thexbigxgreen bro are you really out here correcting peoples spelling in a comment section. You are assuredly as annoying as Jared's neighbors.
@@WeirdExplorer Do you still have neighbors that kick out their kid into the hallways to scream and cry?
@@-jank-willson those neighbors moved out! they left and then these new mofos moved in.
Flowers are pretty good stuffed with cheese, seasoned, and fried
Sounds like stuffed squash blossoms bet it takes good,cool. 🤤
Doesn't every thing lol
Yup! My favorite is breaded zucchini flower stuffed with goat cheese. Nothing like it!
the immature flower stalk is also really delicious sautéed with butter, onions, and peppers!
Yucca flowers add a "ranch dressing" hint to salad.
a sweet and delicious fruit that has the consistency of jam and the prettiest royal purple color? wow, nature is so incredible!
I audibly laughed when you put a "safe" pointer showing the giant knife.
Was so happy to see that 'contains paid promotion' badge- and like the sponsor too! Really glad to see you getting opportunities like this 🙌
Thanks! Since passing 100k subscribers, I've been getting a lot of offers from sponsors. However I only accept ads for things that people that watch my channel would be interested in. Wren was a good fit and for a good cause too!
Brilliant to hear! I've just been onto the link, had a look around and signed up to offset 50% (nice to have that option as it's a bit more affordable for me right now!) I've been sceptical of a lot of these kinds of carbon offset schemes but I'm pretty impressed and encouraged by what I see. I do a lot of work on our company's sustainability too so I've emailed myself the link to check out their business scheme....interesting!
@@WeirdExplorer Dang, I was hoping for some Raid Shadow Legends excitement.
@@EvanBoyar 😆🤣😂
Planning a permaculture food forest type thing in my predominantly-desert home state, when I eventually settle down, and this is something I’ll definitely have to propagate!
We LOVE to eat yucca flowers but had no idea they made fruit. Always learning something new here.
I really like the music in the background your neighbors added for you. Its like being at a dinner party.
My grandma grew a yucca plant and she usually couldn't get much fruit off of it before the squirrels/chipmunks/various rodents got to it. On the rare occasion she could, the jam she made with it was amazing.
I’m stuck in a desert called New Mexico where we have yuccas EVERYWHERE. I had no idea any of it was edible.
depends on the species
Better watch out for that nasty UV radiation.
@@Pseudoplasmagore And the killer bees and the rattlesnakes and the lack of water and the history-making heat (will make you history). But the skies are BLUE there. Worth seeing. Carefully!
@@-jank-willsonI’d love to propagate this 🥺
Came here to say the same. Totally gonna look for it in my neighbor's yard yuccas.
I find a lot of these a few miles outside Goodsprings. Just have to get to them before the Fire Geckos and Radscorpions do.
For snacking, they beat honey mesquite pods and mutfruit, that's for sure.
... Just gotta check to make sure there ain't any bloat fly maggots in it unless ya want a chest bursting surprise, eh? >)':^/
Can always make some bloat fly sliders if you're desperate. Benny isn't gonna shoot himself.
Bruh the only necessary food for me is stimpak, and copious amount of chems
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for... some delicious yucca fruit??
I’ve been watching for about 2 years now and I love that you have ads now. I’m glad to see you move up in the TH-cam world and make money off these amazing reviews. Thanks for always making good relaxing content!
A very important plant out here in Arizona, highly recommend coming out here to rural AZ. We have saguaro, prickly pear, barrel cactus fruits, berries, tons of edible plants, and I've even seen wild chiltepin plants around.
Saguaro is very good :)
What about peyote?
A lot of cactus fruit can give you diarrhea if you eat too much, but yeah it would be cool if Jared could do a whole series on various cactus fruits
@@mhm6 duuuuuude
@@mhm6 I've heard peyote fruits are nice but they don't grow wild in AZ, Texas yes. Peyote and saguaros are both legally protected from wild harvesting though, private property with permission is okay
Meanwhile I have learned to predict your ratings like 75% of the time, just your reaction is so telling. That's why I love this channel.
Love from Germany.
We have either Yucca Glauca or Yucca Baccata and it's just setting fruits now. The sheep LOVE THEM, flowers and fruits both.
The only time since the birth of ad-reads on TH-cam that I have actually clicked the link and looked into it. Thanks for taking such a worthwhile sponsor
The root vegetable Yuca is the common name in Spanish speaking countries. In English its called Cassava. Its used to make tapioca among many other dishes.
And funnily the cassava name comes from the Arawak word "cazabe" or "casabe" a native flatbread made with the flour of the yuca root. Cazabe is still prepared in many parts of South America and the Caribbean.
I, for a change know it both as cassava and manioc.
Yep in the carribean is also called Casabe but I mainly know it as yuca, had Casabe bread once as a kid and it was good.
But the plant this fruit comes from is NOT cassaba, if im correct?
@@drakonanta you are CORRECT.In spanish cassava is yuca,these fruit is yucca
the needle point on the leaves and the strings in the leaves can be used as a needle and thread to sew up clothing in a pinch. Our yucca flowered but never mad fruit.
Just signed up to Wren under your affiliate link. First time I've ever actually signed up for something because of a TH-cam ad
I'm watching this and I can't stop thinking of that one cyanide and happiness bit. It's a naturally occurring a sac full of jam. Ted Bear would approve.
BEWARE! Yucca aloifolia is unique in this genus of about 150 species in being bee pollinated and having fleshy fruit. It’s also unusual for being native to the Southeastern US. Almost all of the other species are In the western half of the continent, are moth-pollinated, and have dry mature fruit. Most important for the squeamish, the moths lay eggs on the flowers, and their larvae (maggotlike caterpillars) eat half of the developing fruit, leaving their frass (poop) behind. Not quite blackberry jam!
I looked up the study( only a single study that showed honeybees pollinate this?) but i'm not convinced that bees are the main pollinators of the plant, it doesn't make sense for non native european bees to be the only pollinator observed, the main native pollinator could still be the yucca moths, or some other native insect. Where i live there are no yucca moths and i don't believe i've ever seen any Yucca aloifolia set fruit, i'll definitely take a closer look in the future.
The moth larvae would be excellent food
@@quitlife9279 the southwest US has many species of native solitary bees. Most are digger bees that nest underground away from the heat.
And it is satisfyingly squishy! Thanks for squishing it at the exact moment I really wanted you to! Fantastic 😊! 🍠
This looks like it would be fun to make a wine out of!
Oooh yeah ✌🏻
Probably more like a mead since it has a high sugar content 😉
I've lived in AZ my whole life and never knew those plants have sweet fruit.
I've honestly never seen a fruiting yucca myself
Animals absolutely destroy them. The couple times I’ve been on foraging trips while out there the fruits had already been bitten and torn asunder by birds and such. 🤷♂️
Goth fruit. Also I love that you put "safe" while holding that knife like a serial killer
This is my new totem fruit. Weird but well-rounded and helpful...
when we took the sunset tour at White Sands National Park our guide was a retired entomologist. He showed us that there are actually several species of yucca plants and that each one has a different species of moth that lives with it, pollinating it.
Bro I used to watch this channel back when he had like 1,000 subscribers. He would usually only get like 500 or so views on his videos. I haven’t watched his videos in forever but this just randomly popped up on my feed. My man now has 250k subscribers. Congrats on the glow up
I bet yucca fruit would make a great tasting wine. Dark purple, sweet, a little bitterness to balance out the sour.
Definitely! I'd love to try that
Ocotillo wine and Yucca wine are absolutely on my list. Tried prickly pear wine and it was... underwhelming despite the overwhelming thorns.
Yucca flowers are great in salads 👀❤
I love seeds in my jam! Thanks for showing us!!!
The weirdos on that show Naked and Afraid seem to like finding yucca plants, they eat it but I imagine they also use it to wash up after pooping in the woods for a month with no TP.
I only knew this existed before this video because its in a game I play(7daystodie). In the game you can eat it raw, cooked, or make a smoothie.
That "New York New York" music whenever neighbors are mentioned lol
This is the good thing about making a fruit channel random never heard of Fruits can appear from time to time.
The beast of yucca flats was the best old movie clip I've ever seen ahahaha
If your neighbors blast the bass again try applying a Hi-Pass filter (this omits any low frequncies below a certain frequency) with a high Q and turning it up to the highest frequency that doesn't suck all the bass out of your voice. Somewhere between 120 and 240 hz should do it depending on the curve of your EQs Hi-Pass. You can get rid of quite a bit of that bass usually without effecting the voice too much.
They grow here; they were popular as landscaping plants decades ago. Sometimes the only sign a house used to exist will be a yucca plant marking where the driveway once was. However, they produce no fruit because the moths that pollinate them didn't follow them here. I may try to hand pollinate some.
You can make shoes and even fish hooks and also can eat the blossoms before they fruit, and the stalks have a lot of sugar water in them too before they get too woody. I saw Bob Hansler's channel on your clips & I'm already subbed to him lol, he doesn't post as often these days because of health issues but everyone should still go check out his channel!
I loooove the clash of textures in a fruit !!
mmm jam fruit. sounds nice :D
Damn man. I don't miss apartment living at all. Sounds like the state fair is happening below you lmao. Best of luck to you.
you can use audio processing to remove extraneous noise from your sound recordings via EQs and gates.
have you reviewed the assyrian plum (cordia myxa) also known as the lasura fruit? its really good with a weird texture and has a flavor similar to a persimmon, and when you eat it, it has snotty like goo in the center, from where i live its called Bambar and its really good i highly recommend it.
also, if you want to make flour of the seeds, it is best to harvest dry mature pods.
Just this past weekend, I tried to explain to someone the difference between a yucca and a yuca. They are completely unrelated. Ironically, the person who didn’t know lives on Yucca Street.
Yucca and Yuca, kinda like Yarrow and Tarrow, completely different plants, but have similar names...
I LOVE bittersweet foods. I'd probably love this.
Cant wait to watch this video, I can't believe theres yucca fruit
So that’s the NM state plant and in this area they are growing wild everywhere. I have always thought they were ugly. I have never heard about any uses for this plant. I’m going to have see what I can do with it now. Thanks for the great info.
They actually have many uses from soap to rope making to fruit & seeds
those things are all over the place in Terrell County TX where I used to deer hunt with my dad. I used to pick wild prickly pears but had no idea multiple parts of this plants were/are edible. Now I really want to try.
That's really interesting how that species makes a berry. My Yucca filamentosa just dries and releases dry seeds to the air.
That is exactly what mine does.
As a jam connoisseur I need to try this 😎
My mom's yucca just bloomed this year so this is gonna be fun to show her!
"Clash of textures". Thats a good one.
Thank you for clarifying the difference between yuca and yucca.
Unrelated to this video, but I decided to plant cape gooseberries in my garden after seeing your video, just tried my first one and it was delicious! Maybe a little underripe because it was pale yellow rather than orange but I love it. Can't wait to have more, though not sure how much of a yield I'll get.
I’ve been trying to look this fruit up for a while but I would keep getting results for yuca. Thanks for the clarification!
Its probably better to search the genus name for this one. That extra C is too much for the internet to handle. 😂
@@WeirdExplorer kinda like bergamot, you could definitely do a "not yucca" moment
In google, if you type a "-" before a word, it'll remove all results with that word. In google, type "yucca -yuca". Google may say "did you mean-", or you can click Tools > all results > verbatim
@@sgtluka thanks!
I have yucca plants growing like crazy in my yard had no idea you could eat the fruit
Wow, never even thought! Great video. Now I wanna try this stuff out.
2:10 Bob Hansler!!
I got a yucca plant off the side of the road a few months ago and forgot about it, but i went outside yesterday to mow the lawn and saw that it now has a 4 foot stem, which surprised me because i didnt know what it was and i thought it was just the ground leaves like hasta, im now even more excited for summer
I almost had a heart attack at 3:37
Awesome video! This one I’ll have to try!
I have yuccas in my front garden as landscape specimens. I haven't seen any fruit yet, but I know what to look out for now. Sometime when travel to Australia is possible again, you ought to come here in our Spring and try red quandongs . They are a native fruit, very high in vitamin C. The fruit is like a loose rind around a round, pitted seed. When ripe, it tastes both sweet and slightly tart and very rich, really delicious. They are hard to get commercially, because the trees are hemiparasitic. You can make excellent pies from fresh or dried quandongs.
5:35 I love those pants!!!!
Id definitely love to see some other ways of preparing this, really cool fruit
Yucca is the traditional plant for the center of a four-square raised bed garden. And in the '70s, there was a shampoo called Yucca Dew...which had somewhat questionable ads.
Every one hey that’s a neat looking fruit or wow that inside is so gooey
Me: I think I have the same kitchen knife
the genus yucca has a unique pollination strategy too. the plants are only pollinated by small moths that lay their eggs in the fruit, if the moths go extinct, so will the yucca! (unless you hand pollinate them)
there is an episode of indefence of plants regarding the topic :)
So, if I eat the fruit, am I eating moth eggs?
@@mirandamom1346 yup
Mmm protein 😋
What a nice cumbia your neighbors were listening to
Hey, nice video!
Too bad I was late with the chilling to reduce bitterness.
(Unless you had stored it in the fridge)
We should have more fruits you haven't covered yet in the next few months. Will keep you posted.
Thanks for the mention!
Do you know what the species of this yucca is? All of the yucca fruits that I've found go from hard and green to dry and dropping their seeds.
I don't know about using a food mill to get the seeds out. I've read about someone trying to mill some baked Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) and it resulted in the food mill launching the seeds out with great force.
Of course, Yucca aloifolia does seem to have smaller seeds so maybe I'd work.
man. you passion for fruits will go on forever. love the content
2:08 My man Bob Hansler!! He's exactly who I thought of when clicking this video
Hi! Its sooo satisfactory to watch your videos.
it would be interesting if you could compare more classic berries for example raspberries, they are available as red, yellow, black, purple.
there are many who claim that Rubus arcticus is the tastiest berry in the world.
I would like to hear your opinion on that;)
Yucca grows wild where I live. Now I have to go find some of the fruit.
I've saw this plant thousand times as an ornament plant here in Buenos Aires, I'll give then a try 😋
Today I grabbed a Vietnamese drink I'd never seen before because it was flavored by a fruit I ALSO never had seen before. Called "Sarsi" or "Sarsaparilla", not sure if you've covered it but it has a very interesting, root-beer-like, cinnamon-like flavor to it. And it originally grows in Mexico and the US
I loved drinking sarsaparilla (soda pop) as a kid - it makes me think of the old west.
This video has great dark aesthetics, I love jam and this fruit seems incredible.
I vote for adding a bitter 1-10 bar!
I have yucca growing all around my parent's house. Never would have though of eating it :)
This is a pretty interesting fruit. I wish i could grow this plant.
i live in a town called yucca valley in california and our town is full of many yuccas and the coolest in my opinion is yucca brevifolia trees, we had a super bloom last year and the amount of seed pods in my yard was crazy, sadly i found out that you can eat them after they were all gone i wish i knew before, id also like to note ive never seen the fruits turn brown and be jammy like that ive only ever seen them as green even when ripe, and when they rot on the floor they just dry out like a gourd would
Oh cool! I'll have to try that one too. I think the dark jam like quality is particular to this species
@@WeirdExplorer sounds good! and thank you for the review im now even more eager to try it out especially since in california you cant have many exotic fruits imported or shipped in
Those plants are all over here, but I've never seen the fruit. Animals must snarf them up.
You and your silver spoon🤣✌🏻💜
It looks just like the old fashioned (no added pectin) blueberry jam I make, and similar consistency. Black until you spread it on something.
You need to slow bake it over many hours as it has inulin like yucca and agave roots, stems and stalks.
It's also not a desert Yucca, it's native to the Southeast!
Oh! Good info - thanks!
Wow looks interesting , thumb up for your "documentary "videos 👍🏻💐
If we have to listen to the neighbors somebody needs to talk to them about their taste in music.😂😂
But will it ketchup?? This seems like a really good candidate to concoct clever condiments.
I have yuccas in my yard. Now I won’t cut those flower stalks off! I can’t wait to see if I get some fruit.
You must love your neighbours ;) And could you ferment the fruit, or turn it into alcohol. Being so sugary, I'd bet it would be potent. Whatever you can do with the fruit, have a good rest of the week :)
I’m in north west Ohio. I have this plant all over the yard.. it grows wild and it’s out of control. Spreads like crazy. I have the golden sord
All of his videos are like whole movies, these are amazing!
Haha 1:32 is a gem.
"You don't wanna eat a Yucca fruit" followed up immediately with "yucca however has many edible parts, you can eat the fruit"
