The Earthbound music was an awesome addition. Do more of that.
Clovers are legumes and are edible have even seen bush clover there quite exotic there is a lot of cool mimosa edible like water mimosa
I have to correct Steven. Ivi Nut (Inocarpus fagifer) is not in the mango family, it is in the pea family, Fabaceae. I don’t believe this plant was introduced to Hawaii by the Polynesians but was spread around the south pacific islands like Fiji and Tahiti.
Thanks for the info Joe!
I was confused about how you commented a day before the video for a sec
wrong! WRONG!!!!!!!!!
No i am joking i had no idea thank you for educating us all.
Hawai'i was only settled by humans about 1000 AD, so the Polynesians were unlikely to be dropping off plants there 2,000 years ago.
It's pea shaped. I would have never known. Thank you for the info!
As a Fijian that lives in America we call them Tahitian Water Chestnuts ( Navy) in my family
Jared, I watch at least 1 of your fruit reviews per day usually in the evening. There is so much negative stuff going on around the world watching your videos is an escape from that stuff for at least a little while and it’s a learning experience and enjoyable. Thank You!
If you love this, you'll love Atomic Shrimp's videos. He's a true gem!
@@applegal3058Shrimp is awesome. This audience would certainly enjoy his content.
I'm a Fiji-Indian living abroad and it's so lovely to see your recent videos from Fiji. It's like i get to experience little slices of home. Thank you!
Oh! We call these huutuu nuts on Guam! Because they make you fart. Lol
I just love the way that you tell things you're very straightforward and humble. Just love your videos
So nice of you!
Looks like an anatomically correct kidney
Their knife skills are scary to watch.
Legune not a drope /stone fruit Inocarpus fagifer, commonly known as the Tahitian chestnut or Polynesian chestnut,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the subfamily Faboideae of the legume family, Fabaceae. The tree has a wide range in the tropics of the south-west Pacific and south-east Asian regions, and a history of traditional use by the peoples of Polynesia and Melanesia. It is the only edible and culturally important member of the genus Inocarpus.
I'd love to try the Toast Nut! 🍞🌰
I'm digging the balcony setting - hearkens back to your early vids!
😅 it was either on the balcony with the street noise or in the hotel with bad lighting. it came out better than I thought!
Some day you should check out New Guinea and the Bismarck archipelago - its where many of the domesticated plants spread throughout Oceania originated (though I'm not sure about this one). If the edible plants of remote Oceania are obscure, the edible plants of New Guinea and the Bismarcks are virtually unknown.
I’m guessing expense has a lot to do with traveling to lesser known island chains…
@@laurajames8071 I mean, its not like where he went is going to be cheap. New Caledonia is pretty pricy, as its a vacation spot and reasonably well developed. He had to take 3 major flights to jump between island chains. New Guinea would probably be a lot cheaper than this. It would also be *way* sketchier though, but then again Jared is very well traveled. Really, I don't see a good reason not to go.
Watching these videos I always think about etiquette in other countries and he always does the right thing. I have never been outside the US but I hope I have half the decency as this guy when I do
Most excellent video. Alternative foods are extremely interesting. They could come in very helpful in times of poor crop production. You always seem to find things that a minimal amount of people ever see.
A peculiar thing about Fly agaric mushrooms (Amanita muscaria) is that they smell and taste like bread and honey when they are dried. Fresh, they don't taste or smell anything but slightly like mushrooms.
I mean not my experience. The dried ones I had smelled like dried mushrooms. Tasted that way too 😂
Could be a difference in drying method. If you dry them naturally there could be some other processes going on than when drying them in a oven.@@snesguy9176
Random theory - correct me if I'm wrong: Maybe they also boil it because that loosens the flesh from the nut and makes it easier to peel?
The best mangoes in the world are in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. Go and take a stop and find out for yourself.
I second that. Jared PLEASE try the mangoes when you come to Australia. Queensland has some beautiful fruit.
Absolutely 👍
Also can't wait for the dragon fruit episode currently I'm growing some
Cool! there's a couple cactus fruit videos coming up soon
OMG, how did you even find it. I love this hierloom nut and didn't knew what it even was. lots of love from north east India.
That sounds amazing... I wonder if they'd be good in a cookie
Neat! I love toast. And Polynesian History lessons
What a team great educational point in my day!
You had me at "These Giant Nuts..."
As a vegan who is interested in new food sources, I wished this could be sold here in the US. 😊
Wow that’s nuts!
That sounds delicious to me! Dip it into some garlic butter, or fry it in butter...yum!
Great idea!!
Mainly commenting to appease the almighty algorithm. I hope everyone is doing well and having a great day.
I do the same thing for creators that I really like!
4:18 🤣
Makes more sense to me , to cook the hells and all if green , then heard of the RIPE ones , which like walnuts , have a shell thatts worth leaving untill its rotted off or spilt as a minimum to make easier opening .
I wonder if the cooled seeds , ground up , could be used to make a type of bread ?
You are truly taking fruit to a new definition…. Love your work
Meanwhile the coconut:
_amateur_
(yes I know not technically a nut but neither is this)
4:51
Glad to know I'm not the only one who uses meat knives to cut into fibrous fruit lmao
1:36 Steven jumpscare
When I visited American Samoa these are called "Ifi" (ee-fee) . Polynesia has similar words pronounced a little different. In Samoa these are roasted in a traditional earth oven called "Umu" (oo-moo). The giant flying fox fruit bats eat the fleshy outer fruit and leave the pit to fall on ground where it's collected by the locals.
Helpful wildlife!
This video is holding up to the name of this channel! Lol
You should try to find living American Chestnut trees that are still alive on the island in Maine.
that's a lot of nuts!
I didn't realize Jared was a fan of Earthbound. You should try a game called Eastward. Now that is a really Mother/earthbound like game with another awesome soundtrack.
This was SO interesting! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember that when I was a kid I watched a documentary about a neurodegenerative disease that occurred on some tropical island and documentary blamed it on a nut that the natives consumed by using it to make flour, I cant remember the details.
Tahitian chestnut, I grow a forest of them. Grate the nut, wash and collect the water, decant the water after it settles and you have a starch to make pudding with. The crumbles can be cooked and added to many dishes.
I really want to eat one now they look so satisfying
He mentioned noni please try it again
😆🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I imagine this would be so good in many dessert creations!
I really appreciate these videos!
Here this nut tree called "Gayam"
Back when I was a kid there's many or the trees around, but the majority of thek have been cut down for the wood
We have these! I want it!!! Yummy with condensed milk. Or a piece of coconut! But cooking it and opening takes forever!!!
That's what she said
Why on earth would the Polynesians bring Noni anywhere
Its a prank
Practical jokes. Well, they also claim it is medicinal. Vomit is probably more appealing than death. Barely.
Yeah, haha!
Famine food
Commenting for algorithm and also because I’m so excited for you to come to Australia. Please try our Mangos if you come to Queensland. Kensington variety are my favourite !!
Thank you for what you do!
My pleasure!
I wonder what these nuts would taste like as a vegan milk 😋
Probably taste like slightly sweeter and nuttier soy milk. This nut taste delicious, really, but it is very gaseous so you will brutally fart if you eat too much
They seem to be zero carb. I need these!
Starchy things that grow on trees are highly underrated.
Polynesians planted Noni on purpose? 🔥 Mind blown 💣
maybe its all just a big practical joke? I'm imagining them planting the seeds, ringing Hawaii's doorbell and then sailing away snickering.
@@WeirdExplorer 1,000 👍s and 2,000 ❤️s for this thought.
When Steven says the people “forgot” about the nut, what does he mean? People forgot it was edible??! Seriously? What if the nut wasn’t as practical as other food in Hawai’i?
He seems to make a few things up here and there 😂
Ooooh golden dragon fruit is gonna be interesting
rocks.
Eevee: ....they took my nuts..
if it tastes like toast, I'm in. i loooove toast 😋
I love Steve, but I wish he would walk around with a cane, a white linen shirt and a straw hat!
Drink some Fijian Kava while you're there.
Nooooooo!! 5:19 🚑
It looks like mango pit, which i think you can also eat.
Lol what kind of animal steven was😂😂😂
Was gonna say, it looks like a bean more than a nut :)
Much love to both of you and gosh, I hope you find a sharp knife in at least ONE place
They look like mango seeds 💀
Edit: I said this before I got to 1:30
Man he really hacked away at that thing 😂
It looks like mango seed but is actually more closely related to peanut
totally
It looks a bit like NumNum seed.
If you would stick around for mango season in fiji you would be surprised with the amazing variety we have..
When is the best time to find fruit? I'd love to go back to Fiji some day.
@@WeirdExplorer coming into season between now till Novemberish.
Shotout to Steven, great and wise guy!
I'll be kinda funny if you upload this review with this thumbnail in early December 😏
well they do look like nuts 🤣
I bet they boil them then remove the seed
You should have used this instead of breadfruit in your peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
I would definitely eat that!
im sure youve been asked this plenty but have you any interest in edible mushrooms/fungi?
I don't like mushrooms so I'd be a bad judge 😅
what are those gnarly carrot looking things in vanuatu?
probably kava
What a life 😍
deeez nuts😂😂
Can the Ivi nut grow into several different fruits depending on what you feed it?
No, it only reacts to fire, water or electric stones.
Every time i see you guys use a knife im certain this is the video where one of you loses a digit.
✌🏻😎💖
nutty
Do you know what are dewberries? They are like wild blackberries but a little blue-ish and it tastes different!
In the Southeast USA, "dewberry" is the common name given to multiple species of trailing blackberry. Rubus trivialis is the most common in the FL panhandle. It fliwers & ripens about 1.5 months before the most common local wild erect blackberry (species: no idea). I can't compare/contrast with cultivated sorts (they all died, though perhaps Deep Southern bred types like "Brazos" would work).
Wow. I'd like to eat some.
Cut toward your chum, not toward your thumb! 👍
Your title was very misleading sir.
33rd! Great video!
I absolutely clicked on this because nut joke
Thanks for the cross section Steve!
