Trying to imagine pumpkin pie when you've never had it is surprisingly difficult
Think of something mushy with a bit of resistance when you bite into it, that tastes lightly of butternut squash (or pumpkin, if you've had it), with a rich dark brown sugar/molasses taste, paired with cinnamon, nutmeg, and occasionally a hint of ginger. It's usually not cloyingly sweet, but some recipes certainly are. I also don't know if he mentioned a pie crust flavor, but that's another element of the experience. Hopefully that helps a bit. :)
pervychipmunks that actually does help, thanks!
pervychipmunks Wow! What a great description! Well done! 👏👏
pervychipmunks Your username, though! 😂😂
mria621 I know, I forget how it came to me, lol. 😅
Nothing makes me as excited as seeing there is a new fruit review up. :)
Lol i eat it growing up in india so sweet and tasty yummy my favourite as a kid. I never seen this in canada.
Eatin it off the knife is ramping my anxiety up to 100 lmao
Turn it into an erotic video haha
I always get concerned when he eats off a knife. Then I remember he's a sword swallower.
Your channel is truly unique and so interesting. This is one of those videos I watch that makes me want to go out and explore, such a simple thing like fruit shows you that there’s so much more to the world
so glad to hear it!
For sure! Keep making great videos
Just tried my first one yesterday. I'd compare it more to apple pie or a baked apple with cinnamon and brown sugar. Much more appley than pumpkiny but definitely with the brown sugar flavor going on. Quite delicious.
Sounds great!
Love Sapodilla, eat them every year. They grow well here.
I have never heard of anyone ever saying that it tastes like pumpkin pie. Is that a specific variety?
Normally they taste like someone took a really ripe pear and dipped it in brown sugar or maple syrup (the real maple syrup, not the cheap stuff)
Pumpkin pie does sort of have a maple syrup/brown sugar taste to it.
No way, pumpkin pie tastes like mamey sapote or baked sweet potato. Sapodilla tastes more like brown sugar. They're both great, but the winner has to be sapodilla because it's so juicy, full of nutrients and so sweet. As you would expect as brown sugar is sweeter than pumpkin pie or sweet potato. But sapodilla is so much better than brown sugar. I'll go ahead and say that I believe it is my favorite fruit (if I have to pick one).
@@TwistedChains i heard Helva is made from sappdila but still don't know if it is because it seems more expenisive thanks for sharing.
Would you place it above a Cherimoya?
Or eggfruit?
@@halilacikgoz7865 i know you didn’t ask me but i would put it above a cherimoya absolutely. And i love cherimoyas!
I've been watching your channel for a while now and I was today years old when i learned what you did for a living. You are rad, sir!
Another fact; the sapodilla tree sap is one of the sources for chicle, the original base for chewing gum.
Naseberry...eating one now, tree outside. Its hard if not ripe, you dont want it over ripened, firm to touch when ready. Very sweet, creamy, fine grains are soft and not an issue. Texture i guess is like pumpkin. Taste, difficult for me to describe but delicious. Eat with skin!
I genuinely appreciate your channel. It's so lovely seeing your adventures and the fruit and nuts you review! Thank you for teaching us about the fruit of the world!
It's funny because I'm at work, I just saw you in my recommendation, and my desk mate and me are big big uncommon fruit enthousiat. Your channel just made our week. Thank!
In Jamaica they are called Naseberry
That sounds very good to me. A different flavor profile entirely compared to many fruits sounds like. The flesh brings to mind brown sugar. Wonder if the Mexican markets will have them. And the drying element is called saponin which apparently is very similar to the puckering properties of tannins in tea.
Mexican markets should have a different variety as the ones shown here as of the Indian variety, but they grow in tropical regions
This is a such a unique channel. It's so niche and simple. I love it!
You're in Oaxaca right now!? Are you going to the gelagetza?, You need to try the mango Pina it's like a juice bag.
I found that mango, so good!
Juice in a bag yesssssss
damn wish some of these fruits were available in the UK we seem to be so restricted in fruits outside the usual apple,orange,lemon,strawberry variety's im constantly bombarded with. even in local or independent fruit shops.
Visit the Caribbean Island during spring to summer time and you will get a taste of a variety of fruits. Go to the markets and tours.
Your videos are so relaxing.
Chikoos are one of my favourite 😍
It's a really unique fruit... And u made my mouth water lol, we do have a few trees of sapodilla and mame sapote.. Good review
Come to South Florida sapodilla grows everywhere. And we also have thousands of different tropical fruits from all over the world growing in South Florida.
congrats on growing so much!
Have you tried mayhaw? It’s a berry that grows in wetlands of southeast US and its typically made into jelly. Mayhaw jelly is delicious, but I’ve wondered what the berry itself tastes like (apparently its quite tart)
I've only had the jam too, good stuff
This is called chicozapote here in Mexico, which comes from nahuatl tzictzapotl, which means sticky sapote. That is because natural bubble gum is the latex that bleeds from this tree, called tzictli, which is the original ingredient for Chiclets gum.
To me Sapodilla always reminds me of persimmons
One for the list with a few caveats, Pinhão from the South of Brazil and possible North Argentina and adjacent regions, it's a huge pine nut that grows on top of the huge "Araucaria angustifolia" trees in large clusters like a weird spherical pineapple that detaches it's radial segments. Not sure if it's a fruit, but I think it's cool since it comes from the same place I do and they are from a rather unique and primitive (the species came to be more or less in its current shape about 200 millions of years ago) species of plant. Second caveat it's very seasonal, exporting is completely nonexistent even inside Brazil but outside where it grows and there is the issue of preservation of the species.
I've been wanting to try that, it looks so cool
The traditional method of eating it is to nuke the pine nuts in a pressure cooker so as to cook thoroughly (and save a few hours) and loosen the leathery woody rusk that is extremely attached to the nut, then you squeeze the nut out or cut it, but do it while hot otherwise the rusk glues itself back on. You can also roast it and the rusk falls off easily but I find it a bit underwhelming that way. Otherwise it's great after cooked and chopped and fried or sauteed with meat or in a soup or ground as a kind of rough flour crumble thingy. BTW the resin of the Araucaria has not many uses but I like it for it's very aromatic as an incense but it's messy, thing turbo turbo pine resin but less pinny more incensy and extra sticky.
BTW don't even think on foraging it, it's easy to find stalls selling it and for the good trees you would need to go deep into the woods, and the tree is tall and the cluster heavy so if it hits you you die, but it's more common to some adventurer to try to climb the tree and fall and die.
but all of that is on the plateau highlands in Parana, near the ocean there is a small mountain range covered with a dense subtropical forest with the Atlantic forest, it's quite cool and misty and there are quite a few fruits not well known even in Brazil (as is most stuff that isn't from São Paulo, Rio or Minas or the Northeast), the sight itself is worth a visit, there are plenty of people living there in small communities that sell mostly homegrown crops of the more usual stuff like banana, ginger, papaya, booze from banana, banana candy, palm heart and corn for some reason etc but if you ask you will find somebody that will get you the wild stuff stuff.
Those are insanely endangered, listed as critically endangered.
I have tasted an Asianpear that tasted simular to a crispy Applepie! Now that I heard of the Sapodilla tasting simular to Pumpkinpie, I would love to try it! Thankyou for the Upload! 💖 your Channel!
I bought one of these at a farmers market in Miami. I got 2 sapodillas and 2 eggfruit for $3.
The sappodilla is really sweet. It really does taste like a brown sugar pear or a syrup pear. It’s probably one of the sweetest fruits that I have tasted
Today I learned (the hard way unfortunately) that sapodillas are related to persimmons. I cut into the hard fruit, saw the odorless pale flesh, and took a big ol' chomp out of it.
Thank god i bought a second one though, so i'll just wait a few days on that one
So that's how pumpkin spice is made!
/s
Wow, have you subscribed and become a regular here? Welcome to the club!
how in the actual f*ck did you get here Justin Y.? I mean how do you find people like this guy????? Its kinda creepy if you ask me.
SinViper Uh, the channel has quite a number of subs, and come on, he is a dedicated commenter. Add TH-cam's ever unpredictable algorithms and you have the answer.
He won't reply guys don't even try
Its also known as nispero in many parts and is pretty common in homes around Miami. Mamey is pretty common here too and could be found in many shops as it's grown in popularity in more recent times.
In El Salvador we called níspero, very sweet juicy, it it a unique flavour, nothing like a pumpkins pie,
I love chikoos! In West Bengal, India (where I live) we call it "sobeda"... unfortunately, I've never had pumpkin pie because they're insanely uncommon and hard to find here, but I really wanna have some oneday
Real samurais drink strawberry milk Can you get pumpkin or canned pumpkin (preferably) where your from? If so they’re super easy to make!
LitAfuseiCantStop yeah we get superfresh pumpkin here nearly all year round, but all the recipes I've found on the net require pumkpin spice and we don't have access to that here
You should look for canned pumpkin that already has the spices in it. Pumpkin spice is just multiple spices mixed together that are commonly used for pumpkin pies, it is mainly cinnamon, then nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves. The main 3 that constitute most of it are the cinnamon nutmeg and ginger.
@@rdizzy1 these canned pumpkins with the spices in them are not available here, but I can try to make the spice mix if I can find a recipe for it. Thank you so much for the reply! :) I'm not sure what all-spice would consist of, but I already have the other spices you mentioned right now in my kitchen, so if I can manage the all-spice bit, I think I can give it a go :)
Allspice is a plant itself that has berries called allspice berries spice is made from that. Scientific name of the tree is pimenta.
I was 11-12 yrs old the first time I tried sapodilla, & when I moved I was sad not to find them where I lived, I haven't had one in 10 yes or more. I came across them a month ago & now my husband loves them, he didn't know what they were. Now every time we talk about fruits he tells me yeah those yummy "potato thingies" were amazing 😂
There are lots of Brazilian fruits that I don't know if you have tasted, like carambola, guaraná, jatobá (this one is terrible but it's popular for some reason), jaca, açaí and fruta do conde. I am interested in seeing your reaction, found your channel recently and it's quite interesting.
I've had acai in Bolivia. The other ones I don't think I've had. I've got to get to Brazil still :)
Carambola is star fruit I am pretty sure that you have had it
Yep, they're reasonably common in the US. The waxy skin unfortunately is a pain to peel and the ones that I get have a tough, stellate inner core that wants to be cut out
Anthony D'Atri weird, I've had starfruit before and they were quite easy to eat, the skin is kinda waxy on the surface but that isn't a bother when eating and they are generally very juicy. Maybe it's a different subspecies or the soil.
Anthony D'Atri must be the variety star fruit I've had you eat whole no problem after you pop out the seeds.
I had a few in the Bahamas. They call them dilly dillys and it immediately became my favorite fruit
Have you tried making it into a milkshake?
No, that does sound good though!
Hey! You should try Calafate and Chaura, which can be found foraging in Patagonia (Argentina), specifically in El Chalten or Calafate.
Question for you, fruit man. Why do you never try any chillies/peppers (as far as I know of in your series)? There are hundreds of varieties in regions around the globe, some are extremely weird. Aji (South American) varieties can taste as sweet as citruses sometimes, flavours can be unexpected, and heat levels offer another aspect to the fruits. I personally grow some sugar rush varieties, and would like to grow a brain strain variety. Look those up if you want to, just an idea.
That's the size one of the ones I got in the Bahamas was. I like them slightly underripe when they're green but also soft and not full of that super astringent stuff.
Congrats on 40k! From 25k to 40 in what, a couple weeks? Impressive!
Dude...use a spoon! I have a tomato knife just like that one, great knife, but not for eating with.
Didn't have one with me...
Yeah, I was cringing as I watched. Maybe it's the variety but I have a little tree, and our fruit is like the fruit you reviewed earlier.
My second favorite fruit!!! So good when ripe, but be careful of worms :) (not parasitic/harmful to humans)
My fave being atis or sugar-apple! I do hope you've tried that one! It opens apart a little when it's ripe and is really easy to break apart to open with very little pressure. It's fun to eat because of the seeds, but make sure to watch out for worms as well because when the fruit opens up a bit, flies can land on the cracks (you can put it in the fridge once you see some cracking and once it gets a little soft to avoid worms :) again not parasitic or harmful)
wow i just found your comment and lol, i have both fruit side by side in my house.. Super super good fruits
@@yohanesbobbysanjaya3541 So lucky!!
Haha growing up, we'd eat sapodillas with the skin on in a manner reminiscent to how you'd eat an apple. It gives the fruit a slightly earthy taste, if you're into that. 😅
i'll have to try that
Awesome! So glad you reviewed this one again! I have a couple of these trees (though one is teeny and probably won’t have fruit for a decade!) because I figure growing it myself is the only way I can try it. I’m dying to finally taste it and love hearing your reviews so I can get a better idea of what to expect. Any idea what the variety on this one is? I know the varieties can have a big impact on flavor so I’m curious if you’ve experienced any that were notably better than others.
I used to have those tree in my yard and it gave a lot of fruit all year we ended up share it with our neighbors. it's pretty tasty, sweet and refreshing. you're in for a treat :D
No clue on the variety, but it was found in Mexico, so you may want to find a mexican variety. Indian and Malaysian ones were good too, but this one was my favorite.
The ones I tried came from robertishere.com -- got them along with a mamey. I was a bit disappointed in the taste, it wasn't bad, just not up to the hype. Jared mentions several times proper ripening, but it'd be great to have a sense of that. Is this a fruit that really has to be tree-ripened to be best? All I could find was to wait until a scratch test went from green to brown.
Congrats on 40k subs! Since you're essentially developing an encyclopedia of fruit reviews, don't forget to put the scientific name in every title so Google indexes the result, because often times you'd be the only (English) video result about a fruit.
7/25/18 NEW FRUIT -JUST TRIED CALLED: CHERRY PLUM. BAGGED IN A CELLOPHANE TUPE BAG. SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN CHERRY- WITH SWEET NESS OF CHERRY & TARTNESS OF PLUM. LOVED THEM. WENT BACK FOR 2ND BAG- THEY WERE SOLD OUT. DELICIOUS & HOPE YOU FIND TGEM. I AM IN AZ BUT DOUBT GROWN HERE.
Perfect review of it
You should try bilberries and compare them to the US blueberry!
my fav fruit smoothie when I was a kid in Vietnam, Kids in the West gets brain freeze from Slurpee I got my first taste of brain freeze from Sapodilla smoothie.
Love your intro music too.
I was pretty surprised to find these at my favourite fruit/veg store here in Melbourne. They weren't cheap (a few dollars per fruit) but Im excited to try them
Had these in thailand tasted like caramel/toffee loved them
No I’d say mamey Sapote is like pumpkin pie/flan, chiku is like a brown sugary pear. It’s delicious but super sweet!
Do you keep your seeds? I love watching your videos to try and find rare fruit for my food forest. I recommend the Feijoa or pineapple guava for you to try it's not terrible rare, but delicious.
I don't grow, but when I get interesting things I send seeds to high level patreon supporters. I had the Feijoa, theres a video on it somewhere, great stuff
“Worst that could happen is it’s not properly ripened and you get a bit of dry mouth…
“Oh and if you swallow the seeds they might have sharp hooks that could do serious damage to your innards and possibly require surgery to fix, but whatever…”
Sounds delicious!
Just when i mentioned sapodilla yesterday!
I think, but not so sure that sapodilla tree is the chew gum tree from mayans and Aztec used to make chew gum. So when you eat the fruit there's always a residual gum on the lips lol.
This is a very interesting video and it is a strange looking fruit
One of the best!
Jared youre awesome keep growing your channel man! also talk to King of lightning hes funny
Today i ate a sapodilla fruit (called as chikoo in India). It was hard and raw, but i still ate it. It was very very astringent. I was very difficult to chew and then swallow as well. My mouth palate got sored. I felt nausea. Its tannin and latex were gluing my lips a bit. I drank a lot of water afterwards, took me several hours to recover.
It was a horrible experience! Never eat it raw etc.
You may be afraid to try it another time but I think that your chiku had a bug infestation so try to find I ripe one in India and it will be like brown sugar
you should try guamuchiles
I found those in the Philippines I think they're under the name "camachille" in my videos if you do a channel search
We call that "sawo" in Indonesia which uniquely usually used to pictured how original Indonesian people skin color by saying "sawo matang" or "ripen sawo" 😁😁
Aside from the great Review.. Mate, i'm trying to find the intro song but i couldn't find it anywhere... Can you shoot me a hint where to get it?
"019 Ffuge No Five" by Miranda taylor and Mike Hunchback
Naseberry, one of the best fruits out there.
I love your channel
Have you ever tried the fruit that turns into chewing gum? It’s like a natural chewing gum
We call them naseberries in Jamaica. Which is weird cuz there's nothing berry like about them
I had one that was perfect, and one that was unripe, the most bitter, astringent thing ive ever eaten. Dont think ill ever forget that. Lol
Thanks.
The guy at the plant nursery said it tastes like a pie baked by God. We shall see
Bruh when Christmas I always ate it and I already wanna ate it now
Soooooo..........what is properly ripened?
Not the prettiest, but an interesting fruit indeed :) Would love to try it some time.
YOutube is so broken, i keep re-subbing to you and they still dont send me notifications when you post videos!!!
Great video, hope youtube stops screwing over it's content creators soon
Even when you click the bell? Weird. I post every Wednesday and Sunday though. So when in doubt just head over on those days and it should be up by the afternoon
i love this series.. i have extreme anxiety about eatting strange/foreign things.. i dunno when it started.. but it really sucks to panic after eatting.. but watching this is the next best thing to trying them myself =P thank you for all the hard work you put into this
So nice to hear. thanks!
I have heard it taste like brown sugar pudding.
🙌 great vid!
What the heck is that reddish spiky fruit beside the melons in your video preview?! Yikes!
Where?
thats next week's fruit, called pinguin
Weird Explorer Great! Never heard of it! 👏👏
It's called Sapoti in Brazil, I love them but it needs to be really ripe.
Mmmmm !! I love mamey.
Hi! New sub here! Love the vids!
You should try “Quenepas “ / “mamones”
A Dominican & Puerto Rican favorite
Those are delicious lol
We call that chico
the one I can find in the shop where I live are much more oval, you can kinda see them as smaller and looking like a pointy egg
Do you live in SE Asia? The ones I saw in Malaysia were light colored and oval shaped like you describe.
When these go bad, they smell like rotten potatoes...
Just got a box of fruit in the mail yesterday. Had a couple bad ones.
Will this dude ever run out of fruits?
There are tens of thousands of fruit species out there some with a thousand cultivars.. so probably not. It might start getting boring though.
*weird vegetable explorer intensifies*
Dang, I miss eating these things.

Nice camera
Ah, pumpkin spice.
Interesting

Wow
Need to chill it so taste better
Spicy.
I have never seen one of these. Not sure I can get them in my little area of Australia. But I will look :)*ETA* we do have them in Aust. It's tropical. I never knew the Sap from the tree was the base for chewing gum. Lots of uses for All of the tree. www.australiantropicalfoods.com/index.php/exotic-fruits/sapodilla/
