I often go up into the alpine regions and harvest a bunch and dry them out to substitute black pepper. They are incredible on fried eggs, i also use them with the leaves and other assorted native berries to stuff my mutton bird with.

    Have you ever explored the fruit of some seaweeds? There's one I had in Okinawa called sea grapes (caulerpa lentillifera... I think!).Beautiful little bubbles that is so much like, I suppose, caviar, especially with a little light soy and mirin on it. Definitely worth giving it a try.

    • @YelDohan
      @YelDohan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Botanically speaking, algae don't have fruits. What you had is more like bulbous "stems" or "leaves". (Botanists won't even call them stems and leaves but the difference here is less important.)

    • @malpaul
      @malpaul 4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @@YelDohan I didn't want to complicate things with unnecessary details. I just used the word 'fruit' in a more casual manner than literal. Although those bubbles can be used for floatation on some seaweeds, these ones are filled with liquid so I think they are the reproductive parts of it... so I just guessed they are pretty close to being its fruit. Jared has done articles on things other than fruits, so I thought this would be a valid question regardless of what they are.

      @skeemp No, because nettles have trichomes, with are basically a really nerfed down version of thorns. Once you squeeze the juices out and roll the leaves around in your hand, it practically brakes the trichomes, so it no longer stings. And if you happen to still get stung upon swallowing, the worst that would happen would just be a tickle in the throat.

      Ive found abundant free time is conducive to mental illness. Get yourself out of the rut by slowly pushing yourself every day to take one more step a day, do one more thing. It helps fix your reward system. Also vitamins/excercise are super important. Worked better than medication for me. Being depressed isn’t always the wrong response to a shitty boring life inside all day. Anxiety can be reduced through everyday practice and understanding your fear isn’t rational

      There is reasons a lot of fruits are not in supermarkets. The reason things are in supermarkets is because they have a long shelf life. That is why people will love things like mulberries and even though mulberries produce a lot it does not get put into grocery stores. Same situation as say thimbleberries which was on Jared's top 10. Another reason can be production levels. You want something that is going to produce a large amount so you can make quite a bit. There is also some fruit that is banned in a lot of states so not very commercially viable such as currents. Also water needs can become a challenge in growing certain fruit commercially. Paw Paw live in zone 5 where I am but require 30 inches of water a year which is double our rainfall for the entire year.

My mother would harvest the green berries and pickle them. In weekends Mme and my friends would use the glue from the berry to makke paper kites.

    Fun fact, we make pancakes from stinging nettle here in Finland. Just blanch the leaves, puree, and then add to crepe batter. The blanching gets rid of the sting. The flavor is nice and mild, like spinach, but more aromatic. Nettle soup is another, basically a thinned down bechamel with blanched, chopped nettle leaves. Spinach can be used as a substitute for either recipe.
    I had no idea stinging nettle had fruit, or that it was edible. Or that there were several species, or that they could be... like the height of a tree. Amazing!

    I can confirm stinging nettles' leaves are edible. You harvest them with rubber gloves carefully as to not sting your hands, wash them and SUN DRY THEM TO BREAK UP THE POISONOUS HAIRS. Still after that you cook them in some way that allows rehydration. Omelets are a traditional fix, soaking them in the egg for a while (that's how my grandma makes them) . They're kind of like a leaf vegetable, like weird spinach or something .
    Still, it's a quite rare and dated specialty and hard to come by, and I sure didn't expect them to show up. Great work, keep it up!

    in albania we have a couple unique ones, we have chocolate persimmon which is the most delicious fruit i have tried. The second best fruit is what we call a firiki apple or miniature apple, it has the flavor of a big apple packed in a apricot sized apple amazing. Also thana shqiptare which is a cherry looking fruit extremely dry, imagine if a quince was super sweet, its blood red on the outside and broccoli green in the inside, its known as an athletes fruit. Musmula is another one its like a sour tropical tasting fruit, it has a tree sap texture that i dont like, but as an aromatic or flavoring i absolutely love it, they mainly use it with tobacco
