I'm totally blown away at the sheer volume of review videos this guy has made. I had no idea there was so many different kinds of fruit in the world. Like back when he found the ice cream bean fruit... he came across three very different versions of it in South America. My mind is blown... I guess all these different exotic fruits don't travel well to the supermarket or across the country to US supermarkets.
And those are only 3, icecreambean has many more types in all tropical america, some grown for sale and many just tiny in forest trees some people know, but indeed, so much diversity, it is amazing
Holy cow that is HUGE! I've had some big granadilla that were the size of softballs but this takes the cake! You continue to deliver weird fruit, thank you sir.
Ok, so a giant passion fruit that has some lychee taste in it. Not only does it have more to it but it has the added flavor of one of my favorite fruits. This fruit is definitely on my bucket list now. 🤤
The rind is edible and is comparable to melon both nutritionally and flavor wise. I tried growing these but my sprouts all died due to inattention. I grow another kind and a chocolate fruit vine. Akebia something, they're similar to passion fruit, but supposed to taste like milk chocolate inside. They haven't set fruit yet.
Haha actually the "Chocolate" refers to the smell of the flowers. I was semi disappointed when I found that out. I stir-fried the rind of the Akebia, as suggested by some websites. It turned out tasting more bitter than asian bitter melon dishes you'd get. If you do give it a go be prepared for that.
peachypeach, I do love bitter melon stir fried with pork and black bean sauce, I make it now and then. It's unfortunate the fruit is not advertised properly. I was hoping it would fruit this year but it didn't, maybe next year. What does it actually taste like inside?
haha the taste is quite forgettable. Texture of a mushy pear? taste very bland melon, and some aromatic smells. It's interesting. Maybe I didn't leave it to brown fully/ripen more? The method to eat it is interesting, best captured by this description, "You really had to work it once you put it in your mouth. Using your teeth as a makeshift baleen-ish filter doesn't really work. So you essentially sit there with your mouth full of seeds sucking away,..." enfu.com/blog/2009/1/9/exotic-japanese-fruit-akebi.html The seeds are 'edible' (the woman who sold it to me claims its diuretic and claims some benefits). I didn't bother eating the seeds. They are not brittle and easily broken like passion fruit. The seeds are more like small longan stones. www.eattheweeds.com/chocolate-vine-akebi/
peachypeach, that was an excellent description. Thank you... Did it actually make you pee? The hard seeds doesn't sound too appealing. I hope to have my own fruit soon too, I'll probably post a video. Maybe invite fruit explorer by to try it.
My mother grew a Granadilla vine when I was a kid growing up in North Queensland Australia (tropics). We ate it all the time - including the surrounding flesh that was like a honeydew melon. Great with banana strawberries and other tropical fruits! We also used the old dried (hollow) vine stalks to dip into soapy water and blow bubbles when we played outside. My mother needed to grow this on a trellis and the big fruit would pop down from the mesh and hang around until it was ripe. It was a beautiful sunny fruit!
This is also called babadine in Trinidad. You can make a punch or ice cream out of the flesh when ripe. It smells really good.. must try it in the punch or ice cream it's to die for.
Yes, however English is pretty inconsistent in its pronunciation of it in words borrowed from Spanish. For example "armadillo", "Amarillo", "chinchilla", "vanilla", "sasaparilla", "manilla", "flotilla" and "guerilla" all have their "ll" pronounced as L. Usually these are words that entered English at an earlier time period, when the Spanish spoken by most Spaniards still pronounced "ll" more like a type of "l"-but in some cases it's just random or from English speakers pronouncing it like the written word looks without knowing the Spanish pronunciation. Nonetheless they're standard English words and pronouncing them with a Y sound would be incorrect. I'm just saying this to point out that the English pronunciation of Spanish "ll" isn't always by default a "y"; it randomly depends on the word.
I bought one of these at the Keahou Farmers Market on the Kona coast, Big Island of Hawai'i. Was bummed out, and still am cause it was all rotten on the inside. Glad to know more about it. Thank you for uploading video. Yes, very interesting large fruit. Would love to see them growing on the vine. Must be a huge plant to support such a big fruit. Keep the great videos coming.
This sounds absolutely delicious, the flavors just sound like they would go together very nicely. Plus there's so much of it too! Probably very filling if you ate the whole thing. One day i'll hopefully find one :)
GreenGardenGuy1 did a tasting of this and said you eat the rind. I think he lives in Hawaii and grows these. Love the channel! Keep the weird fruit vids coming.
when I had one it was slightly under ripe, so the arils were more tart and classically passionfruity. To me the flesh tasted like a mildly sweet melon with hints of passionfruit. Of course with tropical fruit many have as much variation in taste between varieties as apples or grapes! So even if you have tried it once, try it again!
I have a suggestion that may not make sense, but there's tons of different varieties of apples out there and some completely take over their market. Here in NZ galas are basically impossible to find as they've all been replaced by Royal galas. tons of different varieties of apples, and I think you should try some weirder ones if you can track them down.
Most of all of these tropical/subtropical fruits he has shown we grow here in the USA. Lots of it grows in South Florida in the Homestead/Redland agricultural area
Is native from Central and South America, you need to eat the whole fruit. Take the seed and pulp out, discard the membresía inside, cut the pulp, blend it with sugar ice, a touch lime
Making it into juice is amazing, ive5had it many times but it's rare to find in the Caribbean when I go on vacation. I'm guessing it has a very short expiration date.
Anthony D'Atri the one right before the episode 222 the guy saw him coming must of thought he was a tourist that didn't know any better. I think he unloaded on him some of the half rotten fruit they would of thrown out to the livestock.
Giant granadilla is passion fruit specie may taste insipid compared to common passion fruit but there is a superior strain grown in Cotabato, Southern Philippines. It’s one of the bests strain if not the best.
Have you heard of a famine/poverty food called Breadnut/Mayanut (Brosimum alicastrum)? There is some information about it on wikipedia. They are found from the west coast and southern regions of Mexico all the way down to the Amazon rainforest in South America.
You don’t have resources around you to verify if the rind is edible? It sounds like you’re in the market or in public. Everyone around you minus other tourists knows it’s edible. Or not.
I was immediately turned off by the apparent texture. Looked very gross to me. I’m sure it tastes good. I’d maybe need to have it in a recipe or something. I can’t even handle bubble tea or tapioca pudding. Lol
This kind of fruit looks like very close in shape and taste not in size to passiflora poovenii or quijos granadilla, would be great if you visitt Ecuador (Atahualpa town El Oro province) in April or May when this rare fruit is harvest, granadilla de quijos is the most fragant and delicious fruit of passiflora.family, you never gonna forget it when try one! HERMAN JAVIER
Someone posted this fruit on Facebook showing the flower pod which looks like a penis!! Wow what a post I know... Then someone said that it’s called a granadila where I found your video. But if you google granadila penis then you see the flower pods, which are kinda funny.

His channel doesn't even cover 1% of fruits worldwide.
@@TNUni167 im positive his channel covers more than 1% of fruits worldwide
Holy cow that is HUGE! I've had some big granadilla that were the size of softballs but this takes the cake! You continue to deliver weird fruit, thank you sir.
Without any doubt ... One of the best fruit from the tropics! I miss it a lot!
Ok, so a giant passion fruit that has some lychee taste in it. Not only does it have more to it but it has the added flavor of one of my favorite fruits. This fruit is definitely on my bucket list now. 🤤
The flower of this plant is also amazing and has a smell you’ll never forget.
Eat the rind/flesh. If it's ripe it will be very sweet, juicy and taste similar to honeydew with other melon overtones. They are very good.
Is this related to those melons? It just occurred to me that most melons have a similar slimy seed structure.
I guess closest relation is being rosids
@@appa609 No. As much as any other passionfruit
Just received my order of this plant, thank you for your help in my decision fruit man!
The rind is edible and is comparable to melon both nutritionally and flavor wise. I tried growing these but my sprouts all died due to inattention. I grow another kind and a chocolate fruit vine. Akebia something, they're similar to passion fruit, but supposed to taste like milk chocolate inside. They haven't set fruit yet.
I've been wanting to try Akebia, hope it grows well for you

Gotta go to Colombia some day now, so many cool fruits!
when there is an "ll" in a Spanish word, it's often pronounced like a y as in yard.

@@TheRealFlenuanI was talking about how to pronounces things in Spanish, not for English borrowings.
We use giant granadilla to make punch in Trinidad add milk and sweeten with a dash of bitters and spice and you good to go..
nicholas juman we call that babdeen right ?
@@TheFineKey yes
Thank you. I just planted 2 plants. I can't wait to taste the fruit!
I bought one of these at the Keahou Farmers Market on the Kona coast, Big Island of Hawai'i. Was bummed out, and still am cause it was all rotten on the inside.
Glad to know more about it. Thank you for uploading video.
Yes, very interesting large fruit. Would love to see them growing on the vine. Must be a huge plant to support such a big fruit. Keep the great videos coming.
Agh, thats too bad yours was rotten
Thank you for your channel. Very interesting fruits you've found!!!
thanks for watching :)
This sounds absolutely delicious, the flavors just sound like they would go together very nicely. Plus there's so much of it too! Probably very filling if you ate the whole thing. One day i'll hopefully find one :)
Its enough to make a meal :)
These giant granadilla are very common in our state (Shillong)
My neighbour has grown these in the past and served it up with condensed milk - tasted like apple and custard .. yummy
My mouth started watering as you cut that fruit open.
You can get a shake of this at almost any sandwich shop in the Dominican Republic, sprinkled cinnamon on top...Nice!!
GreenGardenGuy1 did a tasting of this and said you eat the rind. I think he lives in Hawaii and grows these. Love the channel! Keep the weird fruit vids coming.
Thanks Jake!
jake ament Bill Merrill is an amazing source of information.
Indeed ! I heard the rind is being used like a vegetable, eaten raw or cooked.
when I had one it was slightly under ripe, so the arils were more tart and classically passionfruity. To me the flesh tasted like a mildly sweet melon with hints of passionfruit.
Of course with tropical fruit many have as much variation in taste between varieties as apples or grapes! So even if you have tried it once, try it again!
Hey! I grew this! It was fun and tasted great.
Best to make a Milky juice ...called barbadine in Trinidad and Tobago ...the flesh is great when ripe ...
This is the most tropical of the passion fruit family and thrives in moist lowlands where passion fruit gets sick from the heat and water.
That BADEA (Passiflora Cuadrangularis) is medium size. We in Colombia had this type and another smaller size.
Man you’ve tried them all! What a legend
Hey the rind is what you eat. Makes excellent tropical fruit cocktails and flavors ice cream and punches
Thinking about trying to grow this in Georgia, guy from Arizona says it should grow as well here as at his place.
I had one of those in the Dominican Republic. It wasn't until later that I found out that the flesh is used to make juice there. Should be edible!
I have a suggestion that may not make sense, but there's tons of different varieties of apples out there and some completely take over their market. Here in NZ galas are basically impossible to find as they've all been replaced by Royal galas. tons of different varieties of apples, and I think you should try some weirder ones if you can track them down.
I have one apple episode in the works already :)
Add some lemon juice and sugar - really brings out the flavour of this delicious fruit.
pro tip :)
I just read that you can eat the rind !
tks
did you take down the banana passionfruit video? I'm watching all your videos in order and haven't seen it.
th-cam.com/video/fydEeXLmtMI/w-d-xo.html
I loved this fruit. Wish I could get some now
Grannadilla has a good smell, sour, and popular in south of VietNam. You can plant by a piece of vines or seeds will be fine! Its easy to plant
Have you tried a Jabutica fruit? Round dark purple fruits that grow on the trunk of the tree.
yep, I have two episodes on the subject, do a channel search and itll come up
You have a giant passion: fruit!
_+_ I love Giant Granadilla
This is getting insane I need to go to Columbia
Seriously there was an amazing amount of fruit there!
Most of all of these tropical/subtropical fruits he has shown we grow here in the USA. Lots of it grows in South Florida in the Homestead/Redland agricultural area
In El Salvador we don’t usually eat those we blend it and make it into juice lol

we got that in N.E india. we use it more like a Vegetable (the flesh part)when its young
Oh nooooo not the worm vendor! 😥 Does it taste anything like lilikoi? The innards definitely do not look very appetizing I agree lol.
I've been watching these in order and have not seen this brown worm fruit
Anthony D'Atri the one right before the episode 222 the guy saw him coming must of thought he was a tourist that didn't know any better. I think he unloaded on him some of the half rotten fruit they would of thrown out to the livestock.
221 is the giant granadilla, I'm not seeing anything like that in there but I guess it's not important.
Interestingly this one makes both those huge fruits and also some apple size tiny ones, same taste on both
These giant granadilla are very common in our village (Shillong)
sir can this giant passionfruit granadilla do grow here in Philippines. sir
Giant granadilla is passion fruit specie may taste insipid compared to common passion fruit but there is a superior strain grown in Cotabato, Southern Philippines. It’s one of the bests strain if not the best.
You can eat both the flesh and pulp.
Where were you?
bogota, colombia
Often called passionfruit.
I don't think that one was ripe.
If ripe it would be yellow. The skin or rind much thinner. The flesh bright orange.
Have you heard of a famine/poverty food called Breadnut/Mayanut (Brosimum alicastrum)? There is some information about it on wikipedia. They are found from the west coast and southern regions of Mexico all the way down to the Amazon rainforest in South America.
I have heard of it, its used as a coffee substitute so its been on my list for the thats not coffee series
That would be fun! I really enjoy the That's Not Coffee series.
I am from Jamaica, we use to have many granadilla vines back home. Mixed with milk and some grated nutmeg. Awesome drink.
Part potato and part football.
My favorite grows in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
we call it Barbadine in Trinidad and Tobago
its greeen, when ripe its a orange yellow colour
The raw fruit can be cooked as vegetable ...
👍
Oops. Wrong spelling. Jabotacaba.
Yes you can eat all the fruit
You don’t have resources around you to verify if the rind is edible? It sounds like you’re in the market or in public. Everyone around you minus other tourists knows it’s edible. Or not.
Eww. The innards freak me out for some reason. This is a definite nope for me.
yeah.. I am not a fan of the texture of passionfruits, but the flavor is pretty great
I was immediately turned off by the apparent texture. Looked very gross to me. I’m sure it tastes good. I’d maybe need to have it in a recipe or something. I can’t even handle bubble tea or tapioca pudding. Lol
