18 Tropical Fruits from COLOMBIA's Fruitarian Paradise

[@gonewiththekale]

Love, love , loved this vid! Could watch stuff like this all day-- but your spin on it was so enjoyable!! 👏

[@elite7314]

Correction, all of those fruits are available in all South American countries that shared the amazon rainforest such as Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia. If you find them in Colombia you will find them in Peru, Ecuador as well as Brazil. These countries share the amazon rainforest and all of these countries have high altitudes.

[@NavarroJenny]

Nispero is also one of my fav fruits ..I remember I used to get super exited when my mom would buy them for me back home :)

[@MangoMamaa]

Jennifer Navarro It's the BEST!

[@MangoMamaa]

Papayuela is actually eaten as a sweet desert, like candied / boiled with sugar - then it tastes absolutely fine :D

[@aryanprivilege9651]

Wonder what favorite is? Still love Mamey Zapote it’s so unknown and expensive here, but a nice gift. Bet could cross and improve some of these. Fun to grow a new fruit from mixing odd with hardy. Looking for a disease resistant set to introduce for folks income. Colombia and Andes nations are blessed for choices. Yet they breed out us Blonde haired blue eyed tall kind and clever, we are all valuable and must be preserved. One day folks will understand the power of genes to save us all in all life. Wish I could have all to protect since last of my kind, no heir left to leave money too. Child stolen, no heir. It’s like losing a tree, like Hass avocado was almost lost, or many others. Don’t eat nopales like in Centro America? We have them but not same names here. Mix sour with relative that’s sweet, I have those loquats, rambutan, mamon chino, and other names in other places Latin names binomial is better to identify. Just other varieties, idioma nombres, names, colors sizes, do they have coco la mer or odd fruits from cactus, palms, orchids and other non deciduous broad leaf trees, grasses? Giant guavas? Water plants fruit? Super rare?

[@sunthreecity1552]

Fortunately I have several of that fruit

Needless to say, DYING OF ENVY! Also, really like the way you presented these; very cheffy. Thanks for posting!

nice video Nadja, you are bringing some awesome memories back of growing up with unlimited fruits. love your channel

[@tiki_t]

The Nispero that you tried is also known as a Sapodilla or Chico Sapote. Sometimes nick named the brown sugar pear for its taste. Very different than the loquat that is grown in the US that is more of a subtropical apricot.

[@MangoMamaa]

You are right :)

[@soytupappa]

most south American/ Central American countries have the same fruits not only in Colombia or Brazil. From Mexico, Belize Guatemal all the way down to Argentina all but a couple of exclusive fruits. for example the Nispero is called Sapodilla in Belize and Guatemala

Cuando abrio las frutas se me hizo la boca agua. hay una fruta que se da en colombia peru y brasil se llama marañon, es una fruta poco conocida.

[@MangoMamaa]

En Europa el marañon / cashew es muy conocida pero solo el nuez, la fruta no se exporta....yo la probé en Colombia "cashew apple" era deli!

[@Vicstar0]

We have feijoa in New Zealand too they are so good! Love seeing the different types of fruit

[@christianlloydcomia9138]

Santol or Cotton fruits, Spanish plum and Java Plum you've never heard that? Rambutan, Lychee and Longan and also Durian, Jackfruits and Marang have you eat those fruits?

[@hadasah1318]

I LOVE this video! I will be going to Colombia soon and am so excited to try all the different fruits. I wish you would've went more in depth in how to eat some of them though!! For example, the mangostino are the white things seeds with flesh and that's what you eat?? Haha sorry if it's a silly question. Awesome video 💖

[@hadasah1318]

A few more questions! So with the pitaya are you supposed to chew the seeds? And with the feijoa are you supposed to eat the peel?

[@MangoMamaa]

Hey Saki! First of all, when you come to Colombia always feel free to ask the fruit vendors how the fruit is eaten! They will be happy to tell you and teach you. Some fruits are consumed as juice only but I always like to try the fruit as it comes off the tree. Feijoa for example can be eaten entirely but some people prefer the inside. It is mostly used for juices. From a mangosteen you eat the big white parts and throw out the big seeds inside. You eat whatever is inside the pitaya, you don't really "sense" the seeds anyway. But be careful, pitayas are great for speeding up bowel movements ;)

[@subredditsandorigami7274]

the thing you called a loquat is what is called in the us sapodilla or chiku

Why no Borojo ?! I wish I could get my hands on the fruit or at least aquire seed. But I can't find it anywhere. Most of the others I can find here in South Florida. Some of them I'm growing.

[@Mrsgis11]

Good and interesting video. Colombia is a tropical country and because of its geographical position and the weather there are a lot of fruits. Many of the fruits that you mentioned are use only in juice form like curuba, badea and maracuyá. Some others are like snacks as you said but they are also used in juice. Most of these fruits are goon for your health, for example, granadilla is really good for your stomach, badea and maracuyá are good for people who suffer hypertension etc

[@KDorthe]

Thank you for showing us all this delicious fruits ❤️

[@justryan2070]

Curuba and Maracuya are really acidic. It's a one and done fruit unless you want a stomach ache or juice it. Also I'm pretty sure lulo is naranjilla which is tastes somewhere between a kiwi, tomato and orange.

[@chefmjadventures8109]

Thank you so much for this video! It's fantastic!

[@kpc9650]

the nispero (mispero) is a sapodilla in Mexico. as you said not the Chinese loquat eaten in US or Europe.

[@FruitingPlanet]

If Mangosteen is your favorite fruit, you should try Achachairu (Garcinia humilis manly cultivated in Bolivia), it´s like Mangosteen but sooooo much better, if you want something even better but also even harder to find, look for mameyito/jorco (Garcinia intermedia) and the best Garcinia in existence, can be found in Africa, its called Imbe (Garcinia livingstonei ) this is without doubt the best tasting fruit on this planet.

[@ingwenyamasecurity7867]

The maracuja fruit we have the same similar one in south Africa but we call it granadillas 😘😘😘

[@hairilharun6611]

on 6:11 i think that fruit is not loquat , it is a sapodilla@chiku from the way it have been cut and flavor that you have describe it

[@MangoMamaa]

I think that is actually right. I think I thought it was a similar kind because of translation problems :D

[@laurz3083]

Have u tried guayaba manzana.. its usually sold alotttttt in the streets. Its better than the regular guayaba.

[@MangoMamaa]

Lau Rz I think I tried it, is it the whiter variety?

[@HelloNil]

Schön dich wieder zusehen :)

[@bootdownthedoor]

Interesting that sapodillas are called nisperos in Columbia! In Guatemala, the traditional loquats are called nisperos. Sapodillas are my favourite, hands down... so deliciously sweet, like you say! I would say the flavour is closest to brown sugar. Blended with bananas they are heavenly! Saludos mamita!

[@MangoMamaa]

Nikki Dee YES, exactly like brown sugar, omg! I'll try them with bananas next time :)

[@jacovm3091]

Beautiful and very educational video.... Makes you want to visit in Columbia... Want to mention 2 things ..in your next video you better choose the right knife and always a way from your body!

[@Evange]

"cucumber melons" are related to neither cucumbers or melons.... they're actually in the nightshade family! (ie. tomatoes, eggplants, etc)

[@MangoMamaa]

Evange But why do they taste like cucumbers blended with lemons? :D:D

[@luciatorrado1320]

I love this video! Have you tried uchuvas? They are one of my favorite fruits. I also love a good icy corozo juice.

[@meta-etherealinfo2445]

what is amazing about the guavas is their fragrance i love them so much..but where i m in asia i hardly get to see any colombia fruits and all of latin america fruits are ...wonderful..and exotic in Asia i like the typical rambutan longan and lychee

[@Niceboy25000]

very nice video thank you very much ...but hope next tume to mention the taste of some fruit because some fruits have similar taste and the last fruit you did not show if it eaten with shell or remove the shell.

I'm Bogotano... During my childhood I hated the Tomate de Árbol, and in my case it didn't took me 4 tomates de arbol to like it... I actually had to live in the Colombian caribbean coast (for a year when I was 20) to actually like the juice, I think it tastes better in places with a warmer weather... Anyway, it was since then that I started to like te tomate de árbol juice, even after my trip to the caribbean coast.

[@jsantamaria7605]

Maybe you talking about "Borojo" I never seen a black sapote

[@nexxogen]

That Nispero is Manilkara Huberi, and therefore not related to Loquats (Eriobotrya Japonica) at all. It is actually closely related to Sapodilla (Manilkara Zapota).

[@carlosmante]

Minute 4:37 that is not an Higo, That is a Tuna, and Tuna is native to Mexico. Higo is the species Ficus. Tuna is Opuntia sp. Nispero (loquat) are not natives to Colombia, Nispero is from China. mangosteen is from Indonesia.Pitaya is from Mexico.Carambola is from Southeast Asia.papaya is from Mexico.

[@angielabrador1087]

that's a Higo, in Colombia is called like that, is so diferent

[@listenorios]

Amigo calma, no sé cuál es el problema con los mexicanos, la papaya no es de México, las frutas no pertenecen a un país como tal, pertenecen a zonas topográficas específicas, la papaya es originaria de lo que hoy es el sur de México, centroamérica y el norte de suramérica... No de "México". Los mexicanos deben de bajarle a su territorialidad, se parecen a los venezolanos con su cuento de que la arepa es original de ellos... recordemos que las divisiones administrativas de los países son solo eso, divisiones imaginarias, la tierra no las entiende.

[@Ddstairclimber]

Omg curuba, I still.have a loose memory of that delicious fruit before I came to the states many years ago.

[@EvoIet]

Lulo looks like a tomato. and as you said it tasts a little sour as well. And the fruit which you said is super sweet is really high in calories like banana or maybe I'm wrong and it was even more.

My wife is from Colombia and she has never seen Mangosteen. I purchased it in the USA.

[@jenniferwohl291]

I'm telling you my jaw is dropping from seeing some of these fruit s I've never seen before and we have tropical fruits here. When I first moved here there was no mangosteen, rambuton, rollinia. Lot of it they brought from Thailand. I do not like eating guanaba, but I so so love the juego de guanaba. Making the juice is very time consuming.

[@MangoMamaa]

Come to Colombia one day to experience all of this by yourself!!

[@jenniferwohl291]

I've been to Colombia many many times. I'm Colombian-American. Been awhile since I was last there. Mainly I go to a Medellin. So possibly there are not all those fruits there. I'm thinking maybe they are mainly in la costa.

[@MangoMamaa]

I have purchased all these fruits in Bogotá. The big cities is where most things get transported to since the demand there is bigger from people and restaurants. I have never seen big markets on the coasts!

[@jenniferwohl291]

Sorry for all the comments but I need to say about dragon fruit first time I had it it tasted awlful. I tried it again recently still thought it tasted awlful. It was pink on the outside and more rounder than the one in this video. One day at the health food store I saw this yellow fruit. They told me it was dragon fruit also and that the taste was better. They gave me a sample and it was good. I could not believe the difference in taste between the two. Outside they look different. Inside the same. Love tree tomato. The ones I found here in Hawaii are red.

[@MangoMamaa]

There is no comparision between pink and yellow dragon fruits, the pink ones might be prettier but they taste like water! :)

[@alantaylor6691]

I'm a fruitarian from Australia and am having trouble with the quality and price of the tropical fruit. Can I ask how much does fruit cost in Columbia? And is the fruit better there or in the South Asian area like Thailand and Indonesia? By the way, the Chirimova looks like a real treat. If I had access to these fruits everyday I'd be so much better with my health.

[@MangoMamaa]

I personally have not been to Asia to be able to judge their fruit in any way, but from a friend I know that Colombia has the oldest and highest quality soil and thus fruit grows to be in a very good quality as well. In Colombia you will find all types of fruit all year round, when something is in season it is cheaper obviously, but even out of main season it will be available due to the trillion micro climates in the country. I cannot complain, I love the taste and quality and prices of everything! Especially for foreigners with dollar bills it is extremely cheap haha

[@alantaylor6691]

I see! Thank you very much, this really answers my questions very well and I appreciate it. By the way, I learnt recently that Australia has ONE tropical rainforest micro climate, which is around Innisfail in North Queensland. It is a little area that hugs the coast. Pretty cool! You can see where all the tropical rainforest climates are on the Koppen climate classification map. Here is one which shows the "af" areas, which means the tropical rainforest areas. They have it coloured in dark blue. If you look at Australia, you can see a tiny little strip of dark blue on the coast in the top right corner (North Queensland). That's around Innisfail. Can you see it? upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/World_Koppen_Classification_%28with_authors%29.svg

[@alantaylor6691]

I have a more detailed map of the Koppen Climate Classification for Australia in the link below. If it's not very big, hover over it with your mouse so a magnifying glass appears, then click. That will make it very big. Then scroll so you can see the coast of North Queensland. There you will see the small dark blue section. You might have to look closely at the screen as it may not be easy to see. That is a tropical rainforest micro climate. Very small area though isn't it?! lol. Oh guess what, I just realized I referred to you a link on my previous comment but didn't actually put the link in! I actually have a habit of doing that, I get caught up in writing and forget to include the links I promised. What I'll do is edit the comment and put the link in. It is a link of the Koppen Climate Classification for the whole world. All the blue areas are tropical climates, but there's three different shades of blue depending upon which kind of tropical climate it is. The dark blue areas are the tropical rainforest climates. The medium blue areas are the next one down which are Monsoon Climates. Then the lightest shade of blue are Tropical Savanna Climates. You can have a look at your own country too! Ok here is the link for Australia: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Australia_koppen.svg
