I bloody love chupa chupas. While in Colombia, I eat my body weights worth of them if I can find 'em! I didn't even think of the fact that there are other varieties in existence. I would absolutely love to try more, it's got to be one of my favourite fruits.
I've gotten "mango rash" from peeling mangoes, can confirm it is exactly poison oak rash. Cashews come from the same family and if they are not cleaned well enough, they can be contaminated with urushiol.
Funnily, urushiols aren't toxic. They just activate your immune system through a kind of 'back door'. This causes are reaction but also sensitizes you to the chemical increasing your response with every incident!
@meisteremm that would be scary to not be able to breath. I'm allergic to ivy, oak & sumac. I've never had a reaction to mangos, thank God because they're delicious lol.
I just found your channel after googling "how to eat Osage orange" lol. I love it. I'll try growing some extremely rare fruits/berries myself next year.
I am Brazilian but lived in Miami for some 7 years, under a H1B visa (software developer). The parking lot of the office where I used to work had a huge pitanga (Eugenia uniflora) hedge all around it, producing like crazy - the fruits were plump, red and delicious. Locals called them Brazilian cherries, and the office folks were shocked when I started picking and eating some of them. For some reason, they were under the impression those fruits were horribly poisonous. Go figure... more for me! My husband is Cuban-American, and a friend of his cousin had a small plot of land where he used to plant different tropical fruits, like mamey, jackfruit, sapota negra, jabuticaba, tamarillos and a variety of hot peppers. We're living in São Paulo (BR) since the end of 2006 and, as far as I know, that plot of land near Miami was sold to someone else after the death of the guy we knew. I hope whoever bought it kept the trees, as it was a true labor of love.
oh we didnt' eat them because they have not taste. there are much better fruits for people to enjoy in miami. i suggest the mulberries, tangerines , starfruit, tamarind, mamay, guinups, and other fruits that grow in abundance in Miami. assuming the cubans didn't cut them down to make a car park. LOL yeah those brazillian cherries are dull
@@tombirmingham7033 I beg to disagree about the pitanga dullness - you just have to wait for them to be ripe, as it happens with most fruits. If it looks orange like a pumpkin, it is edible, but definitely not delicious. The riper, the redder. Then it is sweet, tart, and intensely fragrant. Good for eating in natura or in juices, caipirinhas (think margarita), sorbets, jams... you name it! As for mulberries, tangerines, starfruits, and tamarinds, we have those in Brazil. Multiple varieties of them, actually, plus hundreds of other fruits, both native (around 312 registered species from at least 5 main very different biomes), and many others brought over during colonization. Mamey and guineps (mamoncillos, in Spanish), I ate for the first time in Miami, along with sapota negra, that we have here but I had never tried before. Anyways... it's like the Cubans say - para gustos se han hecho colores!
@@tombirmingham7033 The ones in the hedge around our office were red (when ripe), and grew to a circumference a little over 1 to 1 1/2 inch. The office was in Coral Gables, near Ponce de Leon, but I'm not sure the plants are still there after so many years and hurricanes.
Yeah, many of the species in that family(?) a loaded with urushiols! Not _technically_ poisonous, but they trigger severe allergic reactions and further sensitize your immune system with every exposure! My sister loves mangoes but can't eat them after she almost stopped breathing.
7:35; it is poisonous very specifically because of the chemical, urushiol. Which is in the leaves and sap. Mangos have small amounts of this chemical also. Mangos are in the same plant family as poison ivy and poison oak in America. I myself am EXTREMELY allergic to poison ivy. But I LOVE mangos!!😂 If I eat too many, I break out on my lips like poison ivy. But it is also one my mostest favorite fruits. I would be soooooo scared of that tree!!! edit oh good somebody else already said urushiol.
As I walked to my middle school, there was a huge plant of the star berries. When in season, it hung star berries of all colors. Red being the ripest and green meaning not ripe. I was always curious and nibbled on the orange to red colored ones. Very tangy. Still wasn't sure if it ok to eat but a tiny bite here and there didn't do anything to me. One day, a nice and funny Italian man opened a sorbet store in a very hidden part of a plaza. He asked my friends and I to come and and enjoy some of his custom sorbets. As we tried them, one of them tasted like star berries. Then he showed me the fruit and sure enough, it was the fruit that I always walked past while going to school. I asked, so that's edible and he said of course. Ever since then, when the plant had fruit, I'd gobble the orange half ripened ones to the red ones that were super sweet yet they were all tangy.
I hope some biologists watching will attempt to bring us a zone 7b growable version of the last fruit tree. So good for the environment, trees (instead of low vines like cantelope) protect the topsoil much better.
There's a red variant of pitangatuba (dewandaru in my local language) in my neighborhood, the fruit taste like sour pepper with a hint of pine, almost no sweetness at all
i like him too😃 he's nice and he knows anything about fruits. and he also own the real rose apple tree from southeast asia in his farm, and that is awesome😎
Jared, what is your favorite plant family? While eating a feijoa, I was telling my son that many of the fruits we eat from the nursery, some of our favorites are all in the same family. Myrtaceae. feijoas, guavas, jaboticaba, pitanga . . . Guess that's probably tied for my favorite family. I know you are a fan of several, but do you have a favorite?
Have you guys watched the Crime Pays But Botany Doesnt series in New Caledonia? its really worth a watch! ive watched it many times, so many awesome plants particularly from the Auricaria genus
Just had a thought of how much I've learned about fruit from you over the years. I never had a mango before I saw your videos, and now they are my favorite fruit! THANKS!
In Malaysia there are several species of mango that may give mild yo severe allergic reactions. Some from its fruit while some from the sap on its leaves or trunk. To name a few bacang, lanjut and rengas.
I used to break out and literally get little blisters in my mouth after eating mangoes when I was a kid but I have no issues at all with them as an adult.
The bubblewrap leaves of E.bullata looks unique and I wonder if you have seen similar leaf types in other plants. Also do you have any idea as to what advantage such bumpy leaf might have? My assumption is that it might be to increase light exposure but perhaps you have a better idea? thanks M
Jared is the only human in existence who says pitangatuba is their favorite eugenia. Sacrilege! I have to rethink every one of his taste evaluations through this new lens. I call shenanigans.
If my memory not wrong, ripe star cherry is sweet, a little bland and have a tinge of rose petals taste while its still maintain its sourly fresh aroma.
I was watching a youtube channel called detination adventure and he was in the yukon just yuking it up and casually was eating cloud berries has no idea anything about them when i saw that i was like bruh!
It grows a lot slower too, though it might become invasive in Australia since most everything else does, I have one plant that grows as a vine😅 Small woody bush
@stevenmurray3238 Sure thing. We have one native to Australia called E. reinwardtiana. I had one growing in my front yard, but it could never recover from myrtle rust. I could have treated it, but I only let hardy things stay. Its a savage garden 🤨😄
It is damn sour. I took the miracle berry before eating the pitangatuba, it turned out to be the most fragrant and sweet fruit. Lol If you eating finger limes, do take miracle berry first, this is the most wonderful combination of two fruits.
I've got a funny mango story. On my second trip to the Philippines, I was helping some kids get some green mangoes from a tall tree. The next day I had these small raised rashes on both arms. They were insanely itchy. I then traveled back home to Florida. A few days later large red blotches showed up around all my joints and my neck. I was at work and suddenly felt funny and my vision seemed off. I left work and headed to the ER to get checked out. They treated me for an allergic reaction and the next day I was back to normal. Funny thing the day the rashes showed up my wife said oh sorry I forgot to tell you mango tree sap is poisonous. And I found it to be related to poison ivy.
I posted this on another thread, but many of the species in that family produce chemicals called urushiols! They are not _technically_ poisonous, but they trigger severe allergic reactions the get worse with every exposure! Here in the eastern US where Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron sp) are common, reactions to this group are also common. My sister loves mangoes but can't eat them after she almost stopped breathing.
Pineapple makes my face break out. But I love it so much that I eat it anyway. However I don't like the green ones. I wait for the golden pineapples that are ripe. If I'm going to eat fruit, I like it to be high quality.
Not that I know of. There is a lot of conflicting information out there about it. Some say apples, mangoes and bananas.. But if you look up actual scientific compositions, you will see otherwise. A good resource is the department of agriculture, they give the nutrient breakdown of many foods. fdc.nal.usda.gov/
@@ferretyluv Bra, in the winter I were layers and watch my breath as I sip coffee. Not quite tropic. Puna /Pahoa Big Island can just barely pull off warm fruits. Aloha!
Yes, indeed - closely related to cashews, and I'm told _with proper processing_ the seeds can be eaten just like a cashew _but_ the sap is so toxic it can permanently scar skin. One of the alternative names for _Semecarpus australiensis_ is "Marking Nut" and the folklore has it that the sap was used to brand cattle up in North Queensland (instead of using a branding iron).
I just wonder how you don’t get sick from going to so many places in the world and trying new and strange fruits. How do you not get ill from possible poisonous fruits, possible parasites in the fruits, or possible allergies to fruits? I know you have a knowledgeable guide here, but in other places especially without a guide, how do you not get sick? Can you make a video on this?
I rarely do but I have gotten sick, usually in areas with poor sanitation. Its very important to properly clean the fruit and/or peel it in places like that. As for anything that is potentially poisonous, first I search online to find out any information that I can. Its surprising how some plants that are considered poisonous by one community but are eaten by another (calabash and bronze loquat come to mind), it just may be a matter of preparation/cooking/avoiding seeds/etc. If I have any doubt, I only taste it and then will spit it out/rinse my mouth out. I don't recommend doing this, as its still a potential risk of getting sick. I take that risk occasionally for the sake of documentation. I show a bit of how I clean fruit in this episode I shot in India: th-cam.com/video/1ivOuMs5SMQ/w-d-xo.html I talk about getting sick in India here: th-cam.com/video/RB44-Chp3Rw/w-d-xo.html
@@WeirdExplorer Thanks for the insight. I also have wondered about how people throughout history had to risk their health or lives to discover whether new fruits were poisonous or not.
I've tried a semecarpus fruit and it tastes like a tomato with a ton of dry mouth but when they're dry they taste like a less sweet raisin. They look really cool but not really worth picking and the flowers also smell like semen
@meisteremm Thailand legalized cannabis, and Duarte is gone from the Philippines. I understand your point. It takes balls to make some things happen. Without people bringing back seeds we wouldn't have the strains we have now.
Dude if it has latex don't even touch it with your tounge you do that with a manchineel fruit (death apple)your whole tongue will swell up like a balloon. Things with latex can be very very bad.

When the fruit you're eating immediately attracts multiple dogs...💚😂
"It's probably poisonous, so I'll lick it."
Most poisonous food requires eating a lot for it to be fatal.
Pitangatubas were not fully ripe. When a little more reddish, it becomes sweeter.
I thought it was a capsicum pepper, but they aren’t juicy enough to attract random dogs!
You're thinking of Eugenia uniflora, pitangituba is Eugenia selloi. Orange is correct.
They sure don't look ripe to me either.
They nice to make drink, wen the fully red
They come in a large variety of colors. Some are red, orange, yellow, some are so dark they look black (but they're really red).
