AFRICAN MANGOSTEEN Review (Imbe fruit) - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep. 372

[@WeirdExplorer]

Can't get enough videos of me eating garcinia fruits? That's pretty strange... But still I have a playlist just for you: kzbin.info/aero/PLvGFkMrO1ZxJlZw8QHuz5nJ5ww7d-Hw0s

Vostok playing with the imbe was easily the cutest thing ever. Normally cats don't care much about fruit. Maybe she just loves you so much, she's developing an interest in your interests!

[@WeirdExplorer]

She likes to be involved. I should really have her do a scale of one to ten on how easy a fruit is to bat around,.

[@Leeqzombie]

Some cats like fruit for the texture (though they can't taste sweet flavour). Blueberries are safe for cats, some like them as treats!

[@mirandamom1346]

lq I have a cat who loves blueberries, and mangoes too.

[@witchkittyfreya]

My cat’s name is Blackberry and oddly enough, he eats Strawberries. 🍓

[@mariebernier3076]

My kitty Emil went crazy as soon as he got a whiff of ripe cantaloupe. Many a time I found half a cantaloupe on the counter with a deep circular hole that he had rasped out with his tongue. My BOY!

[@nakrul987]

one of the best videos in meow opinion

[@lemonlover6559]

Love the kitty interaction, we don't mind at all

[@HeavyBeam]

Kitty 😻😻😻 P.S. Should be featured more.

[@AlbinoAxolotl]

Yay! New garcinia! I’ve been looking forward to hearing your take on this one since I have a couple of small trees but haven’t gotten any fruit yet and didn’t know what to expect! Glad to hear they’re as good as I had heard and hoped they were!

[@WeirdExplorer]

you're in for a treat once yours start fruiting

[@SegunLive1999]

This fruit is mostly in Western Africa called udara fruit or Agbalumo fruit in east and western Nigeria

[@sleepyoldtiger372]

Your fur-baby is just soooooo cute!

[@Sam-gw3gc]

i have been really unwell and watching your vids really helps me feel better : )

[@WeirdExplorer]

glad to hear it, feel better :)

[@mirandamom1346]

I eat a few cat hairs with every meal.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Makes you stronger

[@therealbodyyoga]

Funny you should do this video now, I got some imbe from Miami fruit a week ago, and when I looked it up on KZbin, there is not much on it. Was surprised to see you hadn’t reviewed it, glad to see it here now, lol. My favorite fruit is the purple mangosteen, since discovering it, I’m very motivated to try every garcinia I can. My take on this fruit that yes, it’s very tasty, but not really worth the effort. Did you taste a kind of nutty almost cacao flavor when scraping teeth on the seed? An interesting fruit, but again, not really worth the effort in my opinion.

[@spicefreak4726]

@@therealbodyyoga Almost cacao, you say? Could we ferment the seeds, then?

The taste is similar to Ceriguela fruit.

Nice summer haircut! Thanks for the interesting video

[@k8eekatt]

Miss kitty missed you while you were away 🐈

[@Tbird2191]

Kitty participates in the fruit tasting🍑 but is no where to be found for the Hot Peppers 🌶...smart Kitty!🐈🤗

[@jimmyjimjim2686]

Way late in commenting but wanted to share that is a smart kitty because hot peppers got their originally in the wild to stop mammals from eating them since mammals teeth would destroy the seeds. The animal that propagated them best was birds because their digestive system didn't kill the seeds. So definitely smart kitty

[@rhyndawatson4173]

I really appreciate that you are a cat person, I love cats, they are so entertaining 😆

[@samuelaquino7857]

What a beautiful fruit! I bet that fruit has a great flavour!

[@TheWeirdestOfBugs]

So if it's Vostok's favorite fruit, can you say it's a meowvelous fruit?

[@rayfroehlich8718]

Have been curious about the Imbe. You have satisfied that curiosity. Thnx.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Glad to hear it! Its a good one.

[@marialiyubman]

Cat sweetness: sweeter than an apple, bitter like a little jerk. 😂

[@mandab.3180]

wahhh i really wanna try some of these garcinias, every time i see you review one you make it sound so good! hope i can one day. also, kitty alert 😻

[@WeirdExplorer]

they're so good! they should be everywhere!

[@spicefreak4726]

I've had one or two and they really are delicious but only if eaten fresh. Don't substitute tinned ones because they're just bland.

[@Kikilang60]

You should've tried Maringa while in Africa. They sell it everywhere there.

[@WeirdExplorer]

coming soon :)

[@chancekahle2214]

Currently eating some imbe myself. Refrigerating them seems to degrade the flavor, though, so watch out for that.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Good to know!

[@tubeviewerX20]

Cat likes playing with small mangosteens. Probably would hiss at durian lol.

[@mrminer071166]

Persimmon-looking little thing.

[@notaweeb7936]

Hey so remember my cactus fruit comment on a different video well i watched them and i loved them and yes the cacti i was talking about there were videos about :D

[@WeirdExplorer]

ah cool! Glad to hear I nabbed that one already ha

[@notmyworld44]

You can quantify bitter, sweet, sour, but you can't quantify the complex terpenes in a fruit. That boils down to the flavor of a fruit being really indescribable, but you are doing a really good job of attempting it.

[@haxax]

Would be interesting to see you trying Thaumatococcus daniellii fruit. Could be quite hard to come by though.

[@mtgAzim]

I eventually wanna try getting something from that website. Its probably the only way I'll ever see any of this stuff... We don't get a ton of exotic fruits in Wisconsin. We have awesome numbers as far as alcoholism and bar's per capita though!

[@WeirdExplorer]

I've performed in Wisconsin 3 times, each time was for a beer festival or promotional event for a beer company. :)

[@mtgAzim]

@@WeirdExplorer LOL Gee, how am I not at all surprised by that? ^_^

[@dans.8198]

I’ll definitely order some, as soon as I win the lottery.

[@ahhitskatie9094]

mtgAzim You definitely have to check Asian markets to find some cool fruits. Sendiks, Festival, and Woodmans do actually carry some fun fruits. I found kiwano at Festival in NE Wisconsin about 6 years back!

[@missmarthafawker]

Your kitty is amazing!

[@ncooty]

Sounds delicious... minus the cat hair. :)

[@WeirdExplorer]

eh... I'm used to it at this point.

[@alr.3137]

Hi Jared have you tried , Saba senegalensis / Kaba fruit / Madd fruit from Westafrica?

[@heidic5404]

Thank you for the cute cat footage. :D

[@WeirdExplorer]

Its the real purpose of this channel

[@StonedtotheBones13]

I greatly enjoy when the narrative of the video just stops for a moment bc cute cat

[@Sedgewise47]

Can these be cultivated here in the US? At least greenhouse-wise? Might breeding-or even, dare I suggest it, biotech (like CRISPR?) yield a fleshier fruit?

[@AlbinoAxolotl]

Yes! Depending on your location they can be grown in zones 10 and 11. You might be able to get away with 9b if you protect it from cold. I have a couple small ones that have survived two San Diego winters with no problems! They do grow painfully slow while small though.

[@cherioliphant]

I bought these from Miami Fruit and am trying to start them in potting soil

[@JJBoudreau]

@jen Thompson Can you please tell me where you bought your plants? I am going to be going close to San Diego soon

[@SuperLionpop]

the cat looks like so pleasant.

[@normajibrilu7892]

There's a Brazilian fruit called Mangaba - maybe you should try - totally different

[@walidcherradi1965]

Since you are in africa try Abgualamo it's in the caimito or star apple genus

[@WeirdExplorer]

We were there in November, next time! :)

[@AlbinoAxolotl]

Never heard of that one! What does it taste like?

[@walidcherradi1965]

@@AlbinoAxolotl never tasted it that's why I was curious, they say it's close to purple caimito but with different overtones

The boss of your house approved this video. All my boss does(🐈) is wake me up at 5 am, whether it's a work day or not. He's gonna have an "accident " if he doesn't let me sleep in once in a while. lol.. kidding.. I love my pal.

[@rhiallbee5775]

"we have a cat now" *video quality increases x1000*

[@lisaheisey6168]

The imbe is interesting and I'd like to try it. But, to be honest, Vostok kind of steals the show in every video she appears in. Maybe you should make a channel just for her. You can tell, by these and past comments about Vostok, you have an audience ready to subscribe.

[@WeirdExplorer]

As time goes on the channel is slowly going to turn into just videos of my cat, Its the law of the internet

Is the fruit edible? The root is what they use in rituals I think. I didn't see it where I was in Africa

NB: it would be more reasonable if you didn't speak of Africa as a country but a continent coz that fruit is not found in all parts of Africa and it's very offensive to Africans when you speak of Africa as if it's just one small country.... just saying. Please be sensitive....
