Some people: Does crime, murders etc
Others: does extreme sports and risk their lives all the time
Weird Fruit Explorer: nibbles on fruit that might, or might not give you a stomach ache.
We all need our adrenaline, everyone just finds their own way.
Dont forget that he's a sword swallower, fire breather etc.
The man's a contortionist I think that eating funky fruits are the least of his concerns
Some people: I love my little brother so much!
Marcus: I love mine a little TOO much..
bit questionable but i admire your dedication 😂
Do you actually have a list where you scratch off fruit you've already tried? Like an Excel spreadsheet? 😄
I wonder that everytime!
I'd be interested in the research aspects for finding species, visiting people groups, reading old papers ect
I think fruits are unforgettable especially if they have profound effects on you
thank you jared, eating stuff we never knew we wanted eaten.
About a week ago, I also made the questionable decision to try (and then spit out) a Dracaena which was possibly a D. fragrans. The berry was orange and similarly had a slightly tomato-like flavor, but was considerably sweeter. I enjoyed that, and there wasn't even a hint of bitterness to the taste, though it smelled a little like it should be. It was fairly mucilaginous-about on par with okra.
It tasted so good, honestly, that I assumed it must be poisonous or else I'd have seen more reports of it being eaten!
Always glad to see great vids from you jared
After this Jared turned into a bird and flew away, never to be seen again...
We had a Dracaena fragrans flower and fruit in the shop where I work. Looking it up I could similar inconclusive information. The fruit was almost entirely seed. With a minuscule amount of sweet peanut butter scented pulp between the seed and skin. It tasted okay, sweet, no tartness at all, and with that peanut butter scent. I came to the conclusion that even if it wasn’t harmful, it just didn’t have enough pulp to be worth bothering with.
Thanks for sharing!
And eating stuff like this is how you got your cast iron stomach
The Podo tree might be or looks very similar to some trees that are popular in California, they have the same resin-y berries with those bumpy pits inside, and very similar looking leaves.
I love that you at least taste stuff when in doubt! Whether it’s something I plan to try or something questionable that I have no intention of tasting, it’s always enjoyable to watch your videos!
Actually since Podocarpus is a type of conifer they don't make fruit. The fleshy part on the outside is called an aril or a fleshy seed coat. Taxus also has these but that one doesn't cover the entire seed
that podocarpus is similar to the Australian one called the illawarra plum pine ( it tastes like shit, but you can live off it ).
Knowing that you're not going to get sick or die is always a plus!
looks almost like a purple colored soap berry mixed with an orange ash berry.
0:22 - 0:27 the moment you question every action you took leading up to this 😂
Love this channel!😊
The worst nightshade experience I have ever had was when my parents put tomatoes and eggplants too close together. They germinated each other. That eggplant tasted like battery acid even after 3 hours of soaking in the salt solution.
Nice
You’ve tasted battery acid?
Under or overripe eggplant.
if they had pollinated each other you wouldn't notice any difference in taste until the next generation. a fruit is always part of the parent plant.
@ Nicholas very informative. I never knew this could happen.
I wonder whether that dracena(?) fruit has the same compound in its skin as grapes, which is toxic to dogs? Fascinating stuff.
From a quick google search, the reason grapes are toxic to dogs actually isn't understood
Acetic acid?
The fruit of _Dracaena ombet_ are eaten in Saudi Arabia.
Edited to add, the fruit seem developed for birds to eat. This is the probable reason for the spread of dracaenas that seem closely related but are distantly located.
when you said , so what iam going to do is taste it , i,am not going to swallow it or anything, i,am just going to see what it taste like , i started to picture Eve saying the same of the fruit in the garden of Eden
@Dianna Odman: I'll take "Out-of-Context Quotations That Sound Like Porn Dialogue" for $1000, Alex.
@@sdfkjgh now i see , yes you have a point
At 4:10 da locals r saying "must b a nother foolish tourist".. when ur referring to a fruit or seed as a prayer bead, that should raise a red flag imo..n ur eating it without washing it. Livin on the edge my man. I luv it!
3:55 "I wouldn't want to eat the Dark Side",,, As well you shouldn't,, for if you had tried the Dark Side,, "Forever will dominate your destiny,, Consume you it will,,",,,,:P Sorry, just couldn't pass it up
Fabulous
Woooow when did you come¿
Poor birds
Questionable lavage ... Lol😂
Nice
...................................but will it ketchup????????????
So, when you do things like this, do you think about the early humans who went through the same process?
For sure.. just without the internet at all 😶. I imagine them nibbling at fruit and staying clear when they feel ill from something.
Dracena is inedbile, i can tell you that much...
Had touched(maybe tried) some common variety? idk
There are these bush near me, that grow everywhere. They have red, and orange berries. I've assumed they were honeysuckles, but I just checked. Nope, something else. Eitherway, Honeysuckle is mildly poisoinious to humans, as I assume whatever the berries near are too. . I know the birds will eat them, but thinking about it, I don't think they like them much. I have a cherry tree, and the birds go nuts eating them. They don't seem to have the same gusto for the other berries.
Honeysuckles (at least the actual honeysuckles) are invasive in america too
well, birds don't have taste buds, so that explains that...
They absolutely do have them. They may not have certain ones as much, but they can absolutely taste.
@@plants_before_people5329 They can't taste spice or bitterness
@@-jank-willson yes, but that's not the same as having no taste buds. Hell, spiciness doesn't even have to do with taste buds as it's more like stimulating the pain receptors on your tongue (birds aren't affected by that). It is true birds have a very reduced sense of taste, but it is still very much present
List ?
I won't try these, Jared
Podocarps are conifers
Ever tried poison ivy berries?
I didn't think so.
🤮
the locals must really get a kick out of seeing this white dude foraging fruit off the ground in the city park
Looks like blueberries, and tastes like poison. What’s not to love?
algorithm comment
I feel like most of the stuff you eat is questionable
Oh kay i had to say that. Sorry pretty much , but as a human it is my job to remind you that we are not nasty and evil. I think you should know this.
I am so distrresed.
