I didn't make some jam sadly 😕 I just didn't have enough of the fruit to make some. But a jam is still a burning desire! Hopefully I can find a good bunch of them one day and share that jam making little project with you guys 😊
If you have just enough of the delicioso in the future, you could add it to some other summery fruits such as pineapple, kiwifruit, apricot, nectarine and mango. You could just call it a 'summer fruit salad' jam. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?
It’s not the most delicious fruit in the world, lol. There are over 400 distinct fruit varieties around the world, so I know you’re just being enthusiastic about it. I’ve picked them myself and they’re pretty good, but I wouldn’t say they’re the “best”.. all tropical fruits, at their best, taste like heaven. However, I had a durian once that tasted like exploding orange sherbet soda, so, it’s all subjective, no? Wanna hit the big Isle of Havvai’i sometime? I invite everyone, so it’s not just you. Got something incredible to show you if you’re curious. Cheers 🍻
The MD grows very well in Miami, so much so that mine has gone as high as 40+ feet up a Royal Ponciana tree. I use the fruit to make ice cream. Few can guess the source of the ice cream’s flavor as it also has a perfume like scent. Delicious. Great video!
@@JeanEDeaux although it does not get as cold in So Florida, we see many days in the 40’s during the Winter and it does not affect the plant one bit. It likes a moist soil and the richer the better but it will also get along fine in sandy soil, sun or shade. To be sincere, it’s almost it has the habit of weeds here, just grows no matter what. It’s a very inexpensive plant so you would not be taking a big risk to try it out. Here it’s being used more like a base plan for landscaping.
Don't know about where you are but it does grow in South Florida. Probably really sensitive to frost. Used to eat them as a child and teen.@@JeanEDeaux
I am from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺.I've Never heard anyone call it a Monstera Deliciosa, it was called a Monsteria Deliciosa. We grew one of these when I was really young at our then family home. I love them. Also known as the Fruit Salad Plant. We were taught as soon as the plant had fruit on, that you had to wait for the skin to come away from the fruit before you could eat it. Otherwise you'd end up with prickles in your tongue.
So my wife has a very green thumb, we have massive monstera plants. We live in Illinois so ours will never fo this. We are in Hawaii right now and my wife just found 3 almost ready. She said,they just made her whole trip. Thank you for the information.
Wow, I have had an enormous and very mature monstera plant along my side fence (about 20 feet wide by 6 feet high) for the 3 years I've owned this home. It was planted by the previous homeowner and I had no idea that those weird things are edible! I have literally thrown out about 50+ of them over the years; the plant is that large! I have about 10 of the fruits out there right now!... As a matter of fact, one just fell off today! Thank you for the instruction! Definitely excited to try this. We also grow tons of bananas (I harvest and give out about 400-500 per year), as well as pineapples. Can't wait to add the monstera fruit to the harvest!
Excellent Roy! I cant wait until you try it and be sure to comeback and weigh in what you think. Its such a great fruit. That's a great size Monstera you got there! Be sure if you get enough fruit to try making some jam with it, that's the next thing I want to try... just need to find enough fruit :-) Sounds like you have a very nice smallholding there and very productive! :-)
Let us know what you think of it. Don't forget- you can't pick the little segments off and eat them until they come off easily. Otherwise it won't taste very nice. You have to wait for it to ripen, section by section.

I have picked a fruit off my plant last week, and the hexagons are coming off easily now... I have tasted this now for the first time, and it IS the most delicious fruit I have ever eaten. So glad I have this plant in my yard.
You lucky son of a gun!! I wish I had one mature enough producing fruit. I have one in a pot that is growing well outside. Maybe one day 😊the taste is epic!! Got to be the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted.

This is possibly my favourite fruit ever! I've only had it three times but have loved it. It's also commonly called the 'fruit salad' plant as it really does taste like a bunch of tropical fruits all at once. My introduction to the plant was when I was a teenager. My family had a connection with a green grocer who would occasionally bring us fruit and veg. He taught me how and when to eat it. The last time was when I saw some for sale at the Sydney Royal Easter Show a few years ago. I wish I knew where I could buy these when in season. It's not something seen commonly at the grocery. I've thought about growing a monstero deliciosa plant but it could be such a hit-and-miss as to when or if it might grow the fruit.
wow that's great! ive never seen them for sale here at the store, in fact most people just let them fall off and rot and they have no idea its edible. which is good for me...lol. I would defiantly try growing one if you have a garden, it should grow big enough to produce regular fruit :-)
I'm in Sth Australia and have one of these outside which I planted. Within 6 years and when it was about two and a half metres high, I started getting fruit on it.
I have a massive Monstera growing in my small backyad in Melbourne, Australia which has been giving me fruit for the past 10 years. I learned through trial and error how to ripen them. I wrap them in any kitchen paper and put them in the cupboard until ripe. I have quite a bit in my freezer also because of how much fruit I got. I had radiation treatment for lung cancer in 2021 so now I like to eat it for more than just the marvelous flavour. Nice in a smoothie too.
@shelaine61 I'm on the NSW Central Coast and i have a tree full of fruit, but they're smooth and not rough like the ones shown here, are yours smooth when you pick them? mine never get to the rough stage as they rot and fall on the ground.
I watch them now for about 10 to 12 months as they ripen. I pick them just before that and if I put it in a brown paper bag in the pantry, within 3-5 days it will have ripened to that falling apart bit by bit as it will still take another day or 2 to be totally edible. Also I found out that because of a medical issue with my tongue the little black bits that look like tea leaves burn my tongue & throat like pepper. So it's not sweet'n'sour, it's sweet'n'spicy. I have tried to rinse them all out and have had some success freezing the fruit instead of eating it. That way I end up with a whole piece of the fruit, not just a mouthful at a time.
I have so many of these for years and today is the first i knew it was a fruit , just look outside and actually it have two fruits right now,am very excited to try them when they are ripen
I always think of how many people unalived or seriously hurt themselves figuring out what was safe to eat and how to eat it, lol. They’re the real heroes
@@JayDee-b5u Correct, I am no expert but short hand is they would super dilute things in water, and try it externally, then internally, then ramp the amount up slowly.
Yes, had the great pleasure of eating the ripe fruit straight off my mom’s monstera plant back in Rhodesia decades ago. The plant was growing abundantly in a pot near the front door as l recall & l noticed that very odd looking fruit protrusion as l passed one day. The buttons had literally lifted away from a large portion of the fruit & the yellow flesh was en masse visible. I was curious and lifted up one of the hexagonal (?) buttons & tasted it😂 No stopping me then, l ate a lot! Absolute yumminess! So glad l saw your video cos l am now actively seeking a Fruit Salad Monstera to grow in my garden in Australia. Thank you ❤
@miketacos9034 except tomatoes don't cause pain along your digestive tract and upset stomach, whenever you eat them too soon. Some people don't eat blowfish
@@miketacos9034 Seem they were distributed fairly quickly after they were brought over from south America though. Then like 50 years from Spain to England. Ironically it took even longer to the north Americas, at around 100 years after England. 🤔 In any case, maybe it wasn't that strange. The plants have a fairly aggressive chemical defence triggered at the slightest touch.🙀 Potatoes were also cause of some confusion at first.
I have had this plant for years and not paid much attention to it until I started seeing this Fruit. I'm super excited to try it. Thank you for showing us how to eat it. ❤
Thanks for the raphides explanation, I tried one of these 30 years ago with great anticipation and excitement and was so disappointed after the irritating mouth feel. I was blaming the little black separators. Since then of watched our monstera flower and fruit and have thrown the fruit in the compost. If I live to see ours flower again I now know how to eat it
I've always known the fruit was edible, but watching you explain how to consume it safely, I will give my plant outside a try - has 4 fruits hanging on it right now ! Thank you ! 🍌🍍🌱
I’d been trying to grow it for years without any fruiting and the plants never did that well. But, after planting it under a tree in Oakland, California, it started to fruit. That was about 8 years ago that it started fruiting. Great stuff!
Alex, Such an awesome video with great content. I've never heard of this fruit before and the fact you called it a delicious monster was great. Kept me wanting to finish the video to the end. Take care good friend.
I managed to get my Monstera to flower last season. Its 4 years old now and completely grown indoors, now in a 100L pot (only one transplant so far). My seasons go from -10 in winter to 40 degrees in summer. Just waiting for the ripening to enjoy this season…
mate, absolutely insightful video, thanks so much! The variegated monstera that we have in the kitchen grew a fruit and it has just literally fallen off. Is there a way to use the seeds in the fruit to plant more or should we just nosh it when it is ripe?
If you find seeds they will be in the little fruit cells... I'm yet to find a seed, 😕 but yeah definitely get them planted! Not sure it will produce a variegated Monstera tho. What you got, would love to see it! Those white leaf Monsteras are beautiful. Yes nosh away indeed!!
My monstera in the house close to a sunny window produces these fruits every winter, but I always done the same mistake, to try it after picking. Thanks for the advice!
Mine has 3 of these fruits all about the 12 inch mark, thanks for this information particularly how to remove correctly, and how to eat in the stages, my mums one was always eaten by the ants, funnily enough by more than one breed at the same time, thanks again for your knowledge.
You're so right about how delicious this aptly named fruit is! I live in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia and have had a monsteria in my back garden since before I was born. It's huge and dominating, and although I liked it and thought it gave a jungle-like feel to the garden, its dominance was a little annoying! I used to just throw the fruit away, but after watching your video I found a ripe one and what a treat! I'll cherish my monsteria from now on. Incidentally, I've noticed that monsteria has, and still is, a very popular indoor potted plant. They are in a lot of movies, especially film noir films from the 40s to 60s
Saw these from a flower planted a couple of years ago and was wondering what they're Google lens led me hear this is so informative and life saving,Thanks so much
These grew just outside my grandfather's house in the Florida Keys!!! I had totally forgotten about them until seeing this! He usually had a few ripe ones in the kitchen whenever we visited :)
PhD biochemist here, born and raised in Florida, and used to eat lots of these when I was a kid. I quit eating them after a good friend of mine got calcium oxalate kidney stones. It was excruciatingly painful for him, took several surgeries to deal with it. So was it due to the monstera? I don't think he ate it at all. He claimed the docs said it was from eating too much broccoli and spinach, which he ate almost every night. They both have some oxalate, but monstera has much much more. So logic tells you it may be even more likely to cause kidney stones. Confucius said "moderation in all things" is the key to long life.
Very true. A friend of mine got kidney stones for because of their voracious appetite for salads... lol. Moderation is key, especially with Monstera, its a little treat but i would not go eating huge amounts of it.
So excited to see you show off this fruit. I’ve known about this since I was very young. It is so delicious but you are right, it’s quite rare, and hard to find.
I wish I'd had this video 30 years ago lol we had one in the back yard but we ate the fruit way too son and it was an awful experience. I'd be great to try again now I know what to do with it :)
@@GreenthumbsGarden one day I’m sure I will. I love tropical fruits growing up in Australia they were like apples and pears to us. It was so normal I do miss it which is why I’m trying to grow tropicals here in the UK xox
@@BloosSelfReliance Are you trying to grow tropical fruits in a greenhouse? I don't think you'd get very far in a non-protected environment. I'm in Sydney so can't grow all the tropicals here. The monstero delicioso would have to grow in my back window if I were to try. I've got grow lights and some rechargeable power banks to use with them if I do grow them in a very small tent.
@@loverlyme I was living in Auckland at the time. It was an IMMENSE plant with several fruit on it. I can't grow them where I live now in York in the UK unless its indoors and homes here are so small even the cat gets cramps let alone having one of these here in the living room xox
They grow very well in Cape Town, South Africa. I started with one plant, & when it grew too big for it's spot I cut pieces off & put them elsewhere. After 20 years my best year was 35 fruit. When fully ripe the fruit droop & are ready to eat.
I recently tried the fruit & you are correct it it delicious , we have it in our back garden in Kona Hawaii , I looked & we have 6 fruit hiding under the leaves . Thanks for the video .
I have a farm here in Zimbabwe & we have about 20 "Delicious Monsters" in our jungle section in the farmhouse yard! I've eaten the fruit before & I'd describe it as a cross between a pineapple/passion fruit/maize! They are indeed delicious!
I had this once in Gran Canaria when I was a kid and I’ve never forgotten the taste! Been wondering what it really was for years so thank you! It literally tastes like banana and pineapple. In norwegian we call pineapple “ananas” and banana “banan” so we just mixed them and named it “bananas”, since we didn’t know the real name haha
Awesome :-) We visited Norway and the fjords this year, incredibly beautiful! Forests carpeted with tiny low Blueberry bushes... shame we didn't come in the month that the fruit was ready 😋
We had one in Adelaide, South Australia when I was a kid my dad planted it outside near our gas water heater which gave it the little extra warmth needed to fruit. We only got a couple of fruit before we moved as we moved just as it began to fruit but it was probably one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten.
Thank you brother you earned my sub, cant wait to eat one of these one day. Ive had them before and didnt know about them.. one day ill try one and i cant wait. Thanks legend 🙏
I used to have one in the backyard in Brisbane, but I didn't know if you could eat it even though some call it fruit salad plant. I could see it looked it had a sharp hair in each "button". Don't know if yours had that.
My old family home had a plant growing on the back fence,( Brisbane Australia) must have been thirty feet long approx, had been growing there for decades when we moved out, Miss this fruit so much, was really good with ice cream. sometimes we had mulitple fruits rippening at the same time, we used to put them in a brown paper bag on the top of the fridge,
I was reading that Calcium Oxalates are water soluble, and can be reduced by blanching, boiling, and steaming with the liquid discarded. If you were making a jelly this might help. Also, using calcium salts can be helpful, such as by cooking in milk or macerating in whey.
Oh interesting to know. Thanks, will experiment maybe next time I get some fruit. Its been more than a year and that was the last fruit I managed to find... for its pretty rare.
Here in the Philippines we also have that the same plant and fruit , but inside the fruit instead of having the white color, here the inside of that fruit is Orange. Do you think it is eatable or safe to it? Or it is not the same from the original. monstera deliciosa?
Wow, didn't know they were edible. My mom has a plant of this in her house and now I'm eager to try its fruit when it ripens up, it has 2 pods of these.
Thanks for sharing this video! I have never seen the fruit of this familiar plant. The fruit looks similar to Annona squamosa, aka sugar apple, which I’ve had many times and really enjoy. Have you ever had sugar apples? I’m curious if the taste is similar, most of your description of the monstera deliciosa sounds just like it. You’ve made me very 🤤
I grew up eating these as they were in our backyard. And now have them growing in our backyard. One thing not mentioned by the vid nor other comments is the little black bits are sticky.
We had it first time on our huge 12yo monstera, tastes like banana crossed with pineapple, very very smooth texture, propably tastiest fruit i´ve ever had. We had the plant inside as we live in eastern Europe, but when we put it in indoor garden the 6 huge fruits popped up.
Great video! My Monstera has 4 fruits, I can’t wait😎 First time, I had no idea they made fruit. Can you harvest the seeds at the same time as it ripens? Good times - thanks.
So what you're telling me, is that this is the Puffer Fish of fruits? SIGHS Well I guess it'll never be allowed in a market near me in the US......too many dumb people and lawyers around here.... but it seems like it would be the perfect fruit for a scifi or fantasy novel! Thanks for introducig me to this exotic fruit, which tastes like some of my favorite fruits, perhaps one day I might get a chance to savor it.
One side of our yard when I was growing up had a line of 12 giant Monsteria Deliciosa. Each would give a dozen or more fruit per year, so when they were in season we had loads of fruit. The Jam was delicious, but excessive consumption definately had a laxative effect.
I had some a month ago from the farmers market in Funchal Madeira. Pricey (didnt realise!) but like a cross between banana and pineapple, so soft, sweet and really juicy. Didnt realise unripened can be toxic!
I'm a bit late, but yes, I have eaten these before, and have been hoping to find more. It's been at least 20 years since I last had one. Lo and behold, the place I currently stay at has 4 in a bunch on one plant, so I'm waiting patiently for them to ripen. In fact, your video reminded me to check them. Not ready yet though. Cheers from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia.
We had monstera growing in our garden when I was a kid. After several years it was amazing when I discovered that they make fruit! I remember trying the unripe fruit and the spines. The sweet ripe fruit which was so delicious.
Making jam???? Pure and utter sacrilege of the nicest fruit on earth. Now I know why I got a sore mouth. I could never wait once they ripend. Thank you, great video
Wow fantastic!! I have a Monsteria the leaves are finally getting larger and more splits in them .. I'd love to try thay fruit may be a while before my plant gets that mature.
I've been given one of these about 8 years ago as a gift that my parents brought from their holiday. It's my favorite fruit since then (followed by durian). I wonder if I'll ever be able to get one of these. I've never seen one for sale here in Germany.
We just got a plant that had the fruit and the scales were falling off. Before trying the fruit I did some research (including this video). It really tastes great, but I can feel a bit stingimg around my lips, similar to eating kiwi. I guess it is a good idea to check if you have any kind of allergic reaction before pigging out.
Also known as the fruit salad plant - had the privilege of having some of the fruit myself, and fruit salad felt accurate to me - warning though they say it can be poisonous.
Over the years We had a big bush of this plant, bearing so many fruits at the time..had no idea we could eat it, would have been nice in home made fruitsalad with all our other local fruits. Thanks for the heads up.
Just found one of the fruits fallen on the ground and it has the scales falling off... I tried a few pieces and there were shards even still, didn't much like that feeling I can say. I will attempt more of the fruit in a couple days, but I am not completely sure it will be worth it vs the discomfort if I get it wrong.
Someone may have pulled it off and the scales as well to try it. First time i tried it i just picked an unripe fruit peeled it tried and it felt like a bunch of little needles on my tongue so i spat it out.
@@simonlewis457 setting as we grew it, and I can back several times over the week as the scales fell off, I doubt it. Unless falling off the plant when ripe cause premature loosening of the scales that kept falling before ripe. It wasn't heaps sweet either.
@@GreenthumbsGarden oh allo there! And yeah. They really are a treat. I like your analogy of pineapple cross banana as well. I’d dare throw in a third fruit mix, custard apple?? Keep pumping and to infinity and beyond 🙏
custard apple, we get that growing here but ive never really been a fan. I need to give it another go as i cant even remember the taste it has been so long.
I just moved back to mainland us after 6 years in Hawaii. I had these all over my property there. I knew they were edible, but I never tried one as I had been told over and over that it was a starch based “survival food”. Not one person ever described them as sweet, or even referred to it as “fruit”. I had so many other fruits on my property, from coconuts, to lilikoi, to white pineapple and mangos and such that it never even occurred to me to try these.
Well this is new for me! I have a monstera at home and I searched on internet how to cut it to make it bigger. That's when I stumbled upon the fact monsteras could have fruits. (Not in the Netherlands where I live). But this is pretty cool!
Sounds like a relative of pineapple. I had the house plant, loved that thing. It was labeled a 'lace leave' plant. Now we can't find one anywhere in Southern California.
I've never tasted the fruit of the Monstera, but IMO, the most delicious fruit is the feijoa. I adore them and eat anywhere from 10 to 20kg during the very short season.
From the picture, the plant is familiar to us in native Kerala. In forests and sides of Paddy fields, it’s never grown by us. But to my surprise, have not seen any one uses it. But no one eats or considered it’s edible to consume
Can you isolate or process the calcium out? It would be cool to be able to make natural calcium supplements if you can mechanically break down the raphides while not chemically destroying the calcium.
Thanks I wish I'd seen this a few years ago. I live in Australia and have several, 5 fruiting Monstera but it was only last year I ate my first and yes they are delicious. I was a real glutton and added thickened cream...try it or even custard. I just have to make sure the possum's don't beat me to them. They worked out Passion fruit are good to eat once they had a go then they beat us to all of them. Take care.
I didn't make some jam sadly 😕 I just didn't have enough of the fruit to make some. But a jam is still a burning desire! Hopefully I can find a good bunch of them one day and share that jam making little project with you guys 😊

Cheers 🍻
I wish you the most of the lucks findng enough fruist for your jam!
Would be nice if someone found a way to cultivate these like Avacados and market it, in a jam or "safe" form that could be sold.
What location was this video shot?
The MD grows very well in Miami, so much so that mine has gone as high as 40+ feet up a Royal Ponciana tree.
I use the fruit to make ice cream. Few can guess the source of the ice cream’s flavor as it also has a perfume like scent. Delicious.
Great video!
Oh wow, I bet the ice crème is fantastic!
I wonder how well it would grow in Southern Texas and Louisiana. 🤔

I'm in Sth Australia and have one of these outside which I planted. Within 6 years and when it was about two and a half metres high, I started getting fruit on it.
I have a massive Monstera growing in my small backyad in Melbourne, Australia which has been giving me fruit for the past 10 years. I learned through trial and error how to ripen them. I wrap them in any kitchen paper and put them in the cupboard until ripe. I have quite a bit in my freezer also because of how much fruit I got. I had radiation treatment for lung cancer in 2021 so now I like to eat it for more than just the marvelous flavour. Nice in a smoothie too.
Monstera Deliciosia was popular i saw it everwhere.
@shelaine61 I'm on the NSW Central Coast and i have a tree full of fruit, but they're smooth and not rough like the ones shown here, are yours smooth when you pick them? mine never get to the rough stage as they rot and fall on the ground.
I watch them now for about 10 to 12 months as they ripen. I pick them just before
that and if I put it in a brown paper bag in the pantry, within 3-5 days it will have
ripened to that falling apart bit by bit as it will still take another day or 2 to be totally edible. Also I found out that because of a medical issue with my tongue the little black bits that look like tea leaves burn my tongue & throat like pepper. So it's not sweet'n'sour, it's sweet'n'spicy. I have tried to rinse them all out and have had some success freezing the fruit instead of eating it. That way I end up with a whole piece of the fruit, not just a mouthful at a time.
@@joydivisionboy1 If leaves don't have holes it is not monstera.
I sure hope that some of your comment is true
Beautiful tiles behind you! The fruit looks like an alien corn cob.
Yeah right! They very nice tiles 😃 very typical here in Andalusia.
@@GreenthumbsGarden I can imagine from that glimpse! Lovely!
@@GreenthumbsGarden Funny I wrote alien cifn cob before I heard you say it.
@@GreenthumbsGarden You are from Great Britain 🇬🇧, but live in Spain? How nice!
@@thegatesofdawn...1386 Yeah that's it 🙂
I have so many of these for years and today is the first i knew it was a fruit , just look outside and actually it have two fruits right now,am very excited to try them when they are ripen
Did you end up eating them? What did you think about them?
@@normalisoverrated He mistook it for a different plant and it killed him.
Hey you still there? MEDIC!!!
Fruit that tells you EXACTLY when it wants to be eaten. Neat!
like banana?
I always think of how many people unalived or seriously hurt themselves figuring out what was safe to eat and how to eat it, lol. They’re the real heroes
@@ashleejones586 I often think the same.
@@ashleejones586 I'm guessing they were probably very careful and would only taste it and then observe the effects.
@@JayDee-b5u Correct, I am no expert but short hand is they would super dilute things in water, and try it externally, then internally, then ramp the amount up slowly.
Yes, had the great pleasure of eating the ripe fruit straight off my mom’s monstera plant back in Rhodesia decades ago. The plant was growing abundantly in a pot near the front door as l recall & l noticed that very odd looking fruit protrusion as l passed one day. The buttons had literally lifted away from a large portion of the fruit & the yellow flesh was en masse visible. I was curious and lifted up one of the hexagonal (?) buttons & tasted it😂 No stopping me then, l ate a lot! Absolute yumminess!
So glad l saw your video cos l am now actively seeking a Fruit Salad Monstera to grow in my garden in Australia. Thank you ❤
Thanks :-) it is very delicious! an absolute taste explosion.
I have had this in my yard my whole life and I never knew that you could actually eat them
oh well your in for a real treat Santi!! let me know what you thought of them once you get to try it :-)
This is probably how Europeans went so long not eating tomatoes 😂
@miketacos9034 except tomatoes don't cause pain along your digestive tract and upset stomach, whenever you eat them too soon. Some people don't eat blowfish
@@miketacos9034 Seem they were distributed fairly quickly after they were brought over from south America though. Then like 50 years from Spain to England. Ironically it took even longer to the north Americas, at around 100 years after England. 🤔
In any case, maybe it wasn't that strange. The plants have a fairly aggressive chemical defence triggered at the slightest touch.🙀
Potatoes were also cause of some confusion at first.
I've been looking for this plant name for years. I grew up with it now. I can actually go buy one. Thank you
I have had this plant for years and not paid much attention to it until I started seeing this Fruit. I'm super excited to try it. Thank you for showing us how to eat it. ❤
What a beautiful geometry on that fruit! Thank you for this video. I'll be planting one soon in my edible landscaping.
Isn't it!
I never knew those plants could grow fruit! As someone who enjoys exotic fruit, I'd really like to try those!
Well it's never too late to join the party!! 🥳😄 Now you know, keep on the look out!! It's a real taste sensation.
@@GreenthumbsGarden will do! It looks absolutely amazing 😍
@@latetotheparty266 be sure to check back in and let us know what you thought of the fruit when you finally get to try it!! 😃
@latetotheparty266 - such a cute cat!
Thanks for the raphides explanation, I tried one of these 30 years ago with great anticipation and excitement and was so disappointed after the irritating mouth feel. I was blaming the little black separators. Since then of watched our monstera flower and fruit and have thrown the fruit in the compost. If I live to see ours flower again I now know how to eat it
Your welcome Ian :-) hopfully next time you can enjoy it much more :-)
I've always known the fruit was edible, but watching you explain how to consume it safely, I will give my plant outside a try - has 4 fruits hanging on it right now ! Thank you ! 🍌🍍🌱
Wonderful!
I’d been trying to grow it for years without any fruiting and the plants never did that well. But, after planting it under a tree in Oakland, California, it started to fruit. That was about 8 years ago that it started fruiting. Great stuff!
thanks :-)
I refuse to die before trying this
Then I hope you don't get to try it for a very very long time 😅 it is an incredibly tasty fruit.
To beratna fong
I live in Hawaii & am fortunate to have several huge plants on our farm. Thanks for the jam idea!!
Alex,
Such an awesome video with great content. I've never heard of this fruit before and the fact you called it a delicious monster was great. Kept me wanting to finish the video to the end. Take care good friend.
😅 thanks Badge! You have to try it one day, keep a look out if this plant is able to grow outside. So delicious!!
After peeling, you can put it on a kitchen sieve and rinse under running water then eat. It reduces the stinging after-effects.
I managed to get my Monstera to flower last season. Its 4 years old now and completely grown indoors, now in a 100L pot (only one transplant so far). My seasons go from -10 in winter to 40 degrees in summer. Just waiting for the ripening to enjoy this season…
Sounds great!
mate, absolutely insightful video, thanks so much! The variegated monstera that we have in the kitchen grew a fruit and it has just literally fallen off. Is there a way to use the seeds in the fruit to plant more or should we just nosh it when it is ripe?
If you find seeds they will be in the little fruit cells... I'm yet to find a seed, 😕 but yeah definitely get them planted! Not sure it will produce a variegated Monstera tho. What you got, would love to see it! Those white leaf Monsteras are beautiful. Yes nosh away indeed!!
My monstera in the house close to a sunny window produces these fruits every winter, but I always done the same mistake, to try it after picking. Thanks for the advice!
Mine has 3 of these fruits all about the 12 inch mark, thanks for this information particularly how to remove correctly, and how to eat in the stages, my mums one was always eaten by the ants, funnily enough by more than one breed at the same time, thanks again for your knowledge.
You're so right about how delicious this aptly named fruit is!
I live in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia and have had a monsteria in my back garden since before I was born. It's huge and dominating, and although I liked it and thought it gave a jungle-like feel to the garden, its dominance was a little annoying! I used to just throw the fruit away, but after watching your video I found a ripe one and what a treat!
I'll cherish my monsteria from now on.
Incidentally, I've noticed that monsteria has, and still is, a very popular indoor potted plant. They are in a lot of movies, especially film noir films from the 40s to 60s
Saw these from a flower planted a couple of years ago and was wondering what they're Google lens led me hear this is so informative and life saving,Thanks so much
Oh cool! Google Lens lead you here? That's sweet 😊 thanks and glad you enjoyed it 😄
These grew just outside my grandfather's house in the Florida Keys!!! I had totally forgotten about them until seeing this! He usually had a few ripe ones in the kitchen whenever we visited :)
Very cool!
PhD biochemist here, born and raised in Florida, and used to eat lots of these when I was a kid. I quit eating them after a good friend of mine got calcium oxalate kidney stones. It was excruciatingly painful for him, took several surgeries to deal with it. So was it due to the monstera? I don't think he ate it at all. He claimed the docs said it was from eating too much broccoli and spinach, which he ate almost every night. They both have some oxalate, but monstera has much much more. So logic tells you it may be even more likely to cause kidney stones. Confucius said "moderation in all things" is the key to long life.
Very true. A friend of mine got kidney stones for because of their voracious appetite for salads... lol. Moderation is key, especially with Monstera, its a little treat but i would not go eating huge amounts of it.
Spinach is pretty much the highest in oxalates, so it's probably because of that...
So excited to see you show off this fruit. I’ve known about this since I was very young. It is so delicious but you are right, it’s quite rare, and hard to find.
Thanks Nadia, they are an exciting find.
I wish I'd had this video 30 years ago lol we had one in the back yard but we ate the fruit way too son and it was an awful experience. I'd be great to try again now I know what to do with it :)
😧 yes I bet it was not a good experience at all! Hopefully you get the chance again, it's truly a wonderful fruit, full of flavour!
@@GreenthumbsGarden one day I’m sure I will. I love tropical fruits growing up in Australia they were like apples and pears to us. It was so normal I do miss it which is why I’m trying to grow tropicals here in the UK xox
I remember eating mine as a child but it left me with a prickly mouth! I know it tasted delicious though
@@BloosSelfReliance Are you trying to grow tropical fruits in a greenhouse? I don't think you'd get very far in a non-protected environment. I'm in Sydney so can't grow all the tropicals here. The monstero delicioso would have to grow in my back window if I were to try. I've got grow lights and some rechargeable power banks to use with them if I do grow them in a very small tent.
@@loverlyme I was living in Auckland at the time. It was an IMMENSE plant with several fruit on it. I can't grow them where I live now in York in the UK unless its indoors and homes here are so small even the cat gets cramps let alone having one of these here in the living room xox
They grow very well in Cape Town, South Africa. I started with one plant, & when it grew too big for it's spot I cut pieces off & put them elsewhere. After 20 years my best year was 35 fruit. When fully ripe the fruit droop & are ready to eat.
Awesome! I would love to get enough fruit to make some jam 🤤
Fantastic bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing Alex 😁🌱☀️
😃 your welcome Fletchy
Fascinating! I've had a huge monstera in the living room for years and never thought it could produce something like this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I recently tried the fruit & you are correct it it delicious , we have it in our back garden in Kona Hawaii , I looked & we have 6 fruit hiding under the leaves . Thanks for the video .
I have a farm here in Zimbabwe & we have about 20 "Delicious Monsters" in our jungle section in the farmhouse yard! I've eaten the fruit before & I'd describe it as a cross between a pineapple/passion fruit/maize! They are indeed delicious!
thats a pretty good description, it is a real amazing fruit :-)
I had this once in Gran Canaria when I was a kid and I’ve never forgotten the taste! Been wondering what it really was for years so thank you! It literally tastes like banana and pineapple. In norwegian we call pineapple “ananas” and banana “banan” so we just mixed them and named it “bananas”, since we didn’t know the real name haha
Awesome :-) We visited Norway and the fjords this year, incredibly beautiful! Forests carpeted with tiny low Blueberry bushes... shame we didn't come in the month that the fruit was ready 😋
We had one in Adelaide, South Australia when I was a kid my dad planted it outside near our gas water heater which gave it the little extra warmth needed to fruit. We only got a couple of fruit before we moved as we moved just as it began to fruit but it was probably one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten.
Thank you brother you earned my sub, cant wait to eat one of these one day. Ive had them before and didnt know about them.. one day ill try one and i cant wait.
Thanks legend 🙏
Hey, welcome to the channel! Glad to.have you on board 😊 if you ever manage to try it, besure to let us know what you think.
We had this plant in our yard in South Africa when I was a child. It really is an extraordinary fruit.
I used to have one in the backyard in Brisbane, but I didn't know if you could eat it even though some call it fruit salad plant. I could see it looked it had a sharp hair in each "button". Don't know if yours had that.
My old family home had a plant growing on the back fence,( Brisbane Australia) must have been thirty feet long approx, had been growing there for decades when we moved out, Miss this fruit so much, was really good with ice cream. sometimes we had mulitple fruits rippening at the same time, we used to put them in a brown paper bag on the top of the fridge,
I was reading that Calcium Oxalates are water soluble, and can be reduced by blanching, boiling, and steaming with the liquid discarded. If you were making a jelly this might help. Also, using calcium salts can be helpful, such as by cooking in milk or macerating in whey.
Oh interesting to know. Thanks, will experiment maybe next time I get some fruit. Its been more than a year and that was the last fruit I managed to find... for its pretty rare.
Inside out corn
Here in the Philippines we also have that the same plant and fruit , but inside the fruit instead of having the white color, here the inside of that fruit is Orange. Do you think it is eatable or safe to it? Or it is not the same from the original. monstera deliciosa?
I'm not sure, be sure to check with an expert. Maybe its the same but I can not say, especially without a photo.
I wish I could send you a picture so you can take a look and decide if it is safe or not, sir!
Where can I buy the ripe fruit from?
Wow, didn't know they were edible. My mom has a plant of this in her house and now I'm eager to try its fruit when it ripens up, it has 2 pods of these.
Tried it, and it IS deliciosa! Mahalo from Hawaii❤
isn't it!! my favourite fruit to find that's for sure... a second favourite is mango!
As a kid we had multiple plants in our backyard... we grew up calling them "Monsterio Delicio" ^_^ they are great indeed
Yes they are!
I discovered this fruit when living in Madeira Island. It’s delicious!
They also grow well in South Africa and taste exactly like you mentioned. Combination between Banana and Pineapple.
Thanks for sharing this video! I have never seen the fruit of this familiar plant. The fruit looks similar to Annona squamosa, aka sugar apple, which I’ve had many times and really enjoy. Have you ever had sugar apples? I’m curious if the taste is similar, most of your description of the monstera deliciosa sounds just like it. You’ve made me very 🤤
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you will come across some one day and have a chance to try it 😊
I grew up eating these as they were in our backyard. And now have them growing in our backyard. One thing not mentioned by the vid nor other comments is the little black bits are sticky.
We had it first time on our huge 12yo monstera, tastes like banana crossed with pineapple, very very smooth texture, propably tastiest fruit i´ve ever had. We had the plant inside as we live in eastern Europe, but when we put it in indoor garden the 6 huge fruits popped up.
I have tried it and its very tasty. Have also heard it called a fruit salad plant.
Yes, you are right. Extremely delishiosa!
Great video! My Monstera has 4 fruits, I can’t wait😎 First time, I had no idea they made fruit. Can you harvest the seeds at the same time as it ripens? Good times - thanks.
Nothing beats mango. Its the king of al fruits
So what you're telling me, is that this is the Puffer Fish of fruits?
SIGHS Well I guess it'll never be allowed in a market near me in the US......too many dumb people and lawyers around here.... but it seems like it would be the perfect fruit for a scifi or fantasy novel! Thanks for introducig me to this exotic fruit, which tastes like some of my favorite fruits, perhaps one day I might get a chance to savor it.
One side of our yard when I was growing up had a line of 12 giant Monsteria Deliciosa.
Each would give a dozen or more fruit per year, so when they were in season we had loads of fruit.
The Jam was delicious, but excessive consumption definately had a laxative effect.
You made monstera jam!! Sounds fantastic. I'd love to make some one day.
I had some a month ago from the farmers market in Funchal Madeira. Pricey (didnt realise!) but like a cross between banana and pineapple, so soft, sweet and really juicy.
Didnt realise unripened can be toxic!
I'm a bit late, but yes, I have eaten these before, and have been hoping to find more. It's been at least 20 years since I last had one. Lo and behold, the place I currently stay at has 4 in a bunch on one plant, so I'm waiting patiently for them to ripen. In fact, your video reminded me to check them. Not ready yet though. Cheers from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia.
Patience is key! It can take months for them to ripen on the plant. :-)
We had monstera growing in our garden when I was a kid. After several years it was amazing when I discovered that they make fruit! I remember trying the unripe fruit and the spines. The sweet ripe fruit which was so delicious.
My family grew them in Sydney, Australia. Decorative and edible. Careful about the spikes in the fruit would sometimes force them through seives.
Making jam???? Pure and utter sacrilege of the nicest fruit on earth. Now I know why I got a sore mouth. I could never wait once they ripend. Thank you, great video
Well jam might be a nice way to save and preserve the fruit and then use the jam as a exclusive ingredient in other dishes or deserts 🤔
Wow fantastic!! I have a Monsteria the leaves are finally getting larger and more splits in them .. I'd love to try thay fruit may be a while before my plant gets that mature.
I've been given one of these about 8 years ago as a gift that my parents brought from their holiday. It's my favorite fruit since then (followed by durian). I wonder if I'll ever be able to get one of these. I've never seen one for sale here in Germany.
We just got a plant that had the fruit and the scales were falling off. Before trying the fruit I did some research (including this video). It really tastes great, but I can feel a bit stingimg around my lips, similar to eating kiwi. I guess it is a good idea to check if you have any kind of allergic reaction before pigging out.
That would be wise.
Also known as the fruit salad plant - had the privilege of having some of the fruit myself, and fruit salad felt accurate to me - warning though they say it can be poisonous.
I've had kirimoja once, it's the most delish fruit i've ever eaten so far
Great video! Didn't know you could eat that. Always love your videos. Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do! 😃
Over the years We had a big bush of this plant, bearing so many fruits at the time..had no idea we could eat it, would have been nice in home made fruitsalad with all our other local fruits. Thanks for the heads up.
We just tried some of this...as it's name suggests it's muy deliciosa!! But we did get a little of those raphides.. can't wait for the next harvest!
it's a monster 👾 best to eat a little at a time. a little tingling is to be expected, the more ripen you leave it the better. it's very delicioasa!
Just found one of the fruits fallen on the ground and it has the scales falling off... I tried a few pieces and there were shards even still, didn't much like that feeling I can say. I will attempt more of the fruit in a couple days, but I am not completely sure it will be worth it vs the discomfort if I get it wrong.
Someone may have pulled it off and the scales as well to try it. First time i tried it i just picked an unripe fruit peeled it tried and it felt like a bunch of little needles on my tongue so i spat it out.
@@simonlewis457 setting as we grew it, and I can back several times over the week as the scales fell off, I doubt it. Unless falling off the plant when ripe cause premature loosening of the scales that kept falling before ripe. It wasn't heaps sweet either.
@@lifeofintention4711 ive had a cured one before that a friend i think bought? They are pretty amazing. I see why some call it the fruit salad plant.
It is actually quite amazing such a revered house plant like this can spawn such a delicious fruit most do not know about.
Used to eat it as a kid my grandpa grew them for ages before he found out they were fruit. Definitely one Deliciousa experience I will never forget!
Had one for more than 40 years and been eating them for as long too. They’re yum when really ripe !!
oh nice one! I wish I had know about it sooner, As I would have been on the look out for it.
@@GreenthumbsGarden oh allo there! And yeah. They really are a treat. I like your analogy of pineapple cross banana as well. I’d dare throw in a third fruit mix, custard apple??
Keep pumping and to infinity and beyond 🙏
custard apple, we get that growing here but ive never really been a fan. I need to give it another go as i cant even remember the taste it has been so long.
Awesome video, you answered every question I had in mind and also you showed microscope pictures which was really cool! Thank you! 😄⭐️
Amazing! More fruit to discover! Thank you.
I am from pakistan ihave this plant in my house but we are un aware of this fruit iam thank full for sweet information 🎉🎉❤❤
Curious, can the ripening process be accelerated with climacteric fruits sitting with it (like bananas or apples)? Amazing vid!
I'm not sure. As it is not an astringent fruit. Cpuld be worth experimenting with, though.
Used to see them in people’s gardens in Australia. Never see them now. Beautiful eating.
I just moved back to mainland us after 6 years in Hawaii. I had these all over my property there. I knew they were edible, but I never tried one as I had been told over and over that it was a starch based “survival food”. Not one person ever described them as sweet, or even referred to it as “fruit”.
I had so many other fruits on my property, from coconuts, to lilikoi, to white pineapple and mangos and such that it never even occurred to me to try these.
Looks yummy!😋 Where in the world would I have to be to find some?🤔 Doesn't look like I would find them anywhere near the US great lakes region?😥
Maybe not, but maybe online by order?
This reminds me of sugar apple and sweet sop from the Caribbean region....
Well this is new for me! I have a monstera at home and I searched on internet how to cut it to make it bigger. That's when I stumbled upon the fact monsteras could have fruits. (Not in the Netherlands where I live). But this is pretty cool!
Sounds like a relative of pineapple.
I had the house plant, loved that thing. It was labeled a 'lace leave' plant. Now we can't find one anywhere in Southern California.
Absolutely awesome video and a fascinating fruit!!!! Btw what is your accent I'm really struggling to place it
thanks mate. its a Yorkshire accent but I have spent along time living abroad.
I've never tasted the fruit of the Monstera, but IMO, the most delicious fruit is the feijoa. I adore them and eat anywhere from 10 to 20kg during the very short season.
Thanks for sharing! Hopfully oneday I will get to try it :-)
From the picture, the plant is familiar to us in native Kerala. In forests and sides of Paddy fields, it’s never grown by us. But to my surprise, have not seen any one uses it. But no one eats or considered it’s edible to consume
Can you isolate or process the calcium out? It would be cool to be able to make natural calcium supplements if you can mechanically break down the raphides while not chemically destroying the calcium.
You have a really fascinating voice, there’s a lot going on there. Interesting video too:)
@@justinspencer4472 yea I love hearing the accent and how it has influenced the Caribbean accent
Thanks I wish I'd seen this a few years ago. I live in Australia and have several, 5 fruiting Monstera but it was only last year I ate my first and yes they are delicious. I was a real glutton and added thickened cream...try it or even custard. I just have to make sure the possum's don't beat me to them. They worked out Passion fruit are good to eat once they had a go then they beat us to all of them. Take care.
I love the taste. Hopfully i can find some more one day and try it with other things and make some jam :-)
I’d like to try that. So many fruits I’ve seen online that I didn’t n know existed before.
I have eaten it many times. I have a huge patch of them. Very special fruit.
oh thats great mate.
What accent do you have? It's quite comforting.
A mix of Yorkshire, Polish and Derby I think
Thanks for the video! I saw a thai constellation that fruited, i wonder if the variegation affects the flavor
Would love a Thai constellation!
