Bael Fruit - Trying Interesting Fruit For the First Time!

[@RajeshSharma-sv2ll]

Bael, also known as bilwa is a vital tree in Indian culture which is mostly planted around temples. This tree has many medicinal properties and its juice is commonly drunk for digestive problems including ulcers. It also lowers lipids and is useful in diabetes as it simulates pancreas.

[@shlurrpedy]

OMG you’re reaction to opening the fruit is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!! 🙊😻😆🙌🏼

[@shammilanka2185]

In Sri lanka it's so common n easy to find n I eat it sprinkled with a tiny bit of brown sugar. Its Beli fruit. In here its known as Beli❤

[@sibink3404]

I just bought one. Outside is green..okay to eat?? Or need to keep it to ripen?

[@qt-pie]

I love how he is so excited!(:

[@MasonWestWriting]

When you break that fruit open, the visual revelation of the inside makes an amazing epiphany. Apparently the taste was no less amazing than the sight.

[@mohosinkhandakar9493]

There are two types of bael available in our place. What you got is really cool if you make it drink by mixing it with water and sugar(some of us also use salt). And you must remove the seeds before drink by using sieve or some thing like that.

[@SRU1182]

This fruit is a sacred fruit and both the fruit and leaves are offered during many religious ceremonies..the brownish texture of the flesh indicates that its not fresh and might nit be fit for consumption ...it must be sour in taste..the flesh ones thts fit for use should be yellowish in colour..this fruit has one of the highest proportion of soluble fibre and a very good remedy for complex stomach ailments like IBS..one of the legendary ayurvedic claims abt its usage is tht if its consumed everyday for 3 to 4 months it removes any body odour, bad breath and removes all toxins from the blood.

[@jamaicanrose9203]

Interesting read.

[@TheShoukhin]

It's called "Bel", basically u get it more in Bangladesh. It's the best Sherbet served in summer.

[@Rohandutt]

Don’t say that . India has more bale than bangladesh

[@josephinethomassuperbtalen4757]

Thank you for explaining about the bael fruit. I’ve never heard of it before. I only became aware of it from a tea bag. It’s looks very interesting, but I’ll be a big task to find it.

[@AnkleSnapper72]

That is so freaking cool. Will be in India in December, keen to try one.

[@eliasbonilla4006]

Mark motivates me to try all kinds of fruit and food! 🤗

[@rasu84]

This fruit is nectar for gut. Any time I get lose motion or indigestion, I drink Bael juice and it really helps.

[@owa8609]

It's in the rutaceae family (rue family). It is related to citrus, white sapote, and wood apples.

[@thilzz]

We also eat this fruit in Sri Lanka. We call it 'beli'. You can eat it like that or make a drink out of it. It's really good for you.

[@donnareinhart3538]

Such a treat for the senses. It comes from nature, from God, so I would try it.

[@campingcarjoa]

We have that in Korea but I've never seen someone eat it like that!

[@cesarlee6599]

how do you eat this fruit?

[@rizc327]

yes we do have this in korea

[@ruthypie552]

[@sicklysynester7017]

pumpkin,pudding,eggyolk,caramel,starchy,creamy seczhuan pepper effect with a woody after taste.. Mark that sounds like an adventure I cant even comprehend what its like just by how you described it.

[@Rashel64068]

Yes, it is called "mah-toom" in Thai. Usually you see the preserved, sliced candied version sold in a bag at most large markets or tourist stops.

[@nazihnabeela8625]

Bael fruit is absolutely delicious!

[@mohdmohatshim9256]

[@julianalocklin7057]

[@What-nj9ok]

We always make the juice, it's really refreshing.

[@MsLansones]

Please do more exotic fruits Mark.

[@rahulsen6078]

Seeds are not to be eaten...bitter taste comes from seeds...rest is good part and have very good nutritional values...

[@abrahamgen22]

awesome videos.

[@JukeNnukem]

By far the strangest fruit I've ever seen, I have to find and try this

[@naivniturista9130]

Hi Mark, I've added subtitles to videos "11 Amazing Things To Do in Kuala Lumpur" and "25 Amazing Things To Do in Bangkok". Please confirm it. Here is how to do it. Once users have created and uploaded subtitles/captions and submitted them, it then goes to a dashboard on the channel owner's "review subtitles and cc" section of their channel's "community" settings. (in the top right corner, click on your account, then Creator Studio. In the left-hand panel, click Community > Manage subtitles and CC.) The channel owner can then approve the submitted subtitles/captions from the dashboard. They don't appear on the video unless approved. / Thanks ") btw. your videos are great

[@MarkWiens]

+Naivni Turista Hey Naivni, thank you very much for this, really appreciate it. I will go through to confirm. Thank you again!

[@TheRaafeekhan]

You mad cool.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

+Mark Wiens We miss out on so much here in America. You can't get this fruit over here. Rats! :(

[@protocolofficer2629]

Another first for you and for me me. I've never heard of it before but am going to ask my Asian greengrocer about it and its availability. If I can get one, i will try it and let you know. Thank you very much for opening our eyes.

[@emmanuelfernandez3353]

you sir deserve your own show. I can see a lot of more people enjoying your content!

[@officially_nitin]

This bel fruit is decayed one, fresh ripened bel is always yellow in colour and very tasty.

[@swissexpress9277]

mix with water with ice awsm. best drink to keep cool in summer.

[@MrLalitsg]

Grew up eating this fruit.. Used to have bhel tree in my house 😊 thanks for the video

[@bikramdas01]

I too had a bael tree at home in Assam. We used to make a cold beverage. The fragrance is amazing. Thanks for the video Mark

[@marinatoeverest]

You're right Mark, it has that tingling effect on your tongue. Next time if you pick one, I recommend you make a juice which is how I remember having my bael as a kid. For this, remove all the pulp, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and squash by hand, add about half litre water, stir well and filter using a spoon to press. Refrigerate for a while before enjoying the most refreshing home made juice.

[@madisilver460]

I keep learning new things with every vid

[@rpinnon]

interesting Mark, enjoyed

[@XTheSonofTheSunX]

never heard of this fruit, until now! thanx, mark cheers

[@dondobbs9302]

The drink,Nam Matoom is so sweet and good. One can see there are no seeds in the dried slices sold to make the drink. We found a bunch under a tree,cooked after a wild fire. I tried making the drink with the inside of one,but yes,it had that same bitter after taste with the "Nine volt battery on the tongue" effect like Schezwan Pepper.

[@dakine5331]

I love your reactions to the taste of the food that you ate!!! Love your videos KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

[@sta9706]

You need to scoop out the sticky part in the middle. Btw you can eat the yellow outer part with sticky rice.

[@arandomperson5185]

I find his face satisfying to watch

[@nijokongapally4791]

That fruit looking beautiful good video👍💯💖😍

[@chinu165]

This video brought back some great childhood memories! Bael fruit is more commonly found in Northern India. I remember having fresh Bael juice when visiting my grand parents during the summer school break. Thanks for sharing this video Mark!

[@jbuzzy]

I have never tried bael fruit and from the looks of it I don't think I will. Mark, that was scary looking. Thanks.

[@jbuzzy]

I'm not much of a Mcdonalds fan but I see your point. I guess I'm more of a person who eats with their eyes first then the rest falls into place. I've also been fooled many times by the look of a food not matching the taste. Thanks.

[@perdomot]

That looks amazing!

[@karencas7174]

A very unappealing looking fruit. But your description sounds delish! I'd try it. :)!

[@Rohandutt]

Karen it’s because it was rotting . You have to get a fresh fruit .

[@beachgemblue]

We have this in Trinidad, saw it for the first time this week. It was still green though, so I have yet to try it.

[@Shrikrishna22]

Hey Mark it was an over ripe fruit you should try an yellow colour fruit it taste better

[@blessed9491]

Have never tried this but I think one shd eat this fruit when it is not ripe ..pls correct me if I'm wrong

[@Shrikrishna22]

I have a real old tree of bail (stone apple) at my home, i like it real ripe fruit the yellow one quiet a creamy feel and fibric inside.

[@jodiebrook9579]

I wish I had more opportunity to try unique fruits here in the US. The most exotic fruit I have ever tried was a rambutan (sp?). I want to try mangosteen and durian so bad. Oh and a really good passion fruit.

[@mapleloveful]

I get so happy when you're so amazed and so happy about food- "Oh wow". keep up the good work xD

[@ammaryusof6933]

danggg mark stepping up the resolution !

[@Yoshiwaffle]

mark your my inspiration to travel even though im 14

[@avanthais]

Hey Mark, I’m from Sri Lanka. Bael is my favorite fruit. We call it “Beli” in Sri Lanka. The one you had in the video looked too ripped. It gives that brown caramel thing inside when it’s too ripe. A perfect one would be just yellow inside but gooey enough to ease a spoon inside. It will also have a lot of slime in it. I really like to put some sugar in it.

[@officially_nitin]

Its actually decayed one

[@reggiecardoso572]

Hi Mark, my name is Reggie, I really enjoy watching your mouthwatering videos, you're even better than Andrew Zimmern! I would really enjoy an opportunity to meet you. I'll be arriving in Bangkok May 10th. I'll be staying in a Hotel near Siam Parogan Mall. Please let me know if you're available…it would be a pleasure meeting you, and to maybe go for a eating marathon with you! Cheers! Reggie

[@simonelovesdesign]

Yeah, this bael fruit seems to be an old one. Fresher ones aren't brown on the inside like that; they are a consistent yellow.

[@TrevorParkJones]

Looks strange, but I would definitely give it a try!! Awesome little video Mark, as always very much appreciate the time and effort you and Ying put into your videos, thank you!!!

[@cesarlee6599]

a como lo explica, sabe amargo pesimo

[@NomadicInThePhilippines]

that stuff looks wild!

[@lalaloopsycat2952]

Thanks Mark! Please explain more of Thai local fruits...what they are, how they taste, ect.

[@aktutorial9037]

Im from India... That s a good fruit

[@RABthefirst]

From the way the video captured it, it reminded me of eal sushi with sauce on it.

[@mukkaar]

This fruit looks more like some kind of cooked dessert from inside :D

[@arivanuaranu]

This is a very special fruit for Indonesia. We had an empire named after it!

[@lanqinfang]

wow. I've never seen or heard of this fruit before.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I had never even heard of Bael Fruit. It looked nice, yes like caramel or peanut brittle. I was thinking Fried Seafood, but I think Peanut Brittle is closer to the visual impact. Have a great day!

[@dobindobs7977]

Also known as Shiva fruit!...a real healing fruit,one of the best available on the planet in fact.

[@normanwyatt8761]

Hey Mark....That fruit looks like it came from that plant in the movie ....... LITTLE SHOP of HORRORS..............Ha,Ha..... Great Movie........

[@Jabarten]

Thanks for the tree idea...googled it up, and can grow here where I live in Florida. Finding a nursery that has it, well, a I little harder. There is a source of it just outside of Tampa, and do meet the needs of that tree (subtropical/tropical Savanna, well drained soil, dry seasons a must). Too much empty space between the back and forth yards, and want shade. I'm pretty sure the Asians who come to pick my mangos, probably know what it is....LOL!

[@linzeymolina61]

GOOD FRUIT VIDEO MARK, THANKS!WITH RESPECT ALWAYS MR.MOLINA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA 619

[@cameljamlion9661]

Nature, you scary! I'd still try it, looks really interesting.

[@TheZapan99]

This is the kind of props you need for alien fruits in Sci-fi movies. Somehow, they always use a dragon fruit.

[@maniknratan]

This is very common fruit in Bangladesh. But we don't usually eat it raw. We make shake with it. And it's too easy to make, Mix Chilled water, sugar, ice and Bael and blend it. You can mix milk. but not recommended if you like to have the original taste of it. Too good for hot weather. Enjoy. :)

[@shawnjudson2535]

That looks fascinating and revolting at the same time. I'm going to keep an eye out for getting one. :)

[@nafisagalib6964]

you can make a juice from it..we used to make it ...its a Bangladeshi fruit

[@vidyasutar5022]

I am Indian and have tried it too

[@simplecookingforasimplelif3911]

very interesting to taste other people's comfort fruit,fun

[@naman28feb]

Try Bael Fruit shake 1 with water 2 with milk it will blow your mind I granted !!

[@rookminrampaul7295]

That fruit looks dry . Usually the ripe fruit has a cheesy taste to it . We have it in Trinidad , West Indies . People make jam with it .

[@AnnieS22]

this is so delicious!

[@prakies75]

Wow, very interesting fruit.. Living in Southern California we don't get many different exotics types of fruits and if you do, it's not fresh. Previously frozen, dried or canned :( Thank you for sharing Mark! :)

[@win2024king]

His eyes became bael coloured.

[@lanqinfang]

O I remembered now, I've seen this fruit in the animation The Lion King before, that old monkey eat it and he used the juice to paint on Symba's forehead.

[@SnowdropWood]

Nah mate that's baobab.

[@kriti4698]

Try it's beverage in Indian style. You will love it.

[@sherylseymour9013]
