next fruit to try... the Littlenay. 😃

[@Mustard_Mann]

Hi! I just saw your video on the ae ae banana and i was surprised you don’t have a banana playlist. Think you would make one in the future? Also, what are the best and weirded bananas you have tasted?

[@klyanadkmorr]

Because you visit New Caledonia so much have you seen the famous old Groucho Marx Duck Soup (1933 film)movie ? lolmao everytime I hear you say the name I think of the film and them singing the bonkers song♫Freedonia National Anthem

[@erialbar]

Go to borneo jungle or sumatra . For jungle fruit

[@WeirdExplorer]

@@erialbar I went years ago. Incredible fruit there

[@Ohwhale79]

That "ad read" was BEAUTIFULLLLL. Top tier comedy.

[@Sushi-bishi]

that plug skit for your merch is crazyyyy

[@GreenTea3699]

That got me grinning ear to ear. He mastered it. 😂

[@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676]

He said it so dryly and seriously too

[@capnstewy55]

You're right, I'm not wearing any pants.😂

[@adamk.7177]

Me too! Shorts are pretty nice

[@coldhazzard]

Same

[@lindaseel9986]

I'm happy for you!

[@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676]

I'm only wearing pants (I should specify the American use of the word)

[@sdfkjgh]

It's 8:55pm here in Panorama City, CA, and it's too hot to wear ANY clothes!

[@man-xy1cs]

There's a relative of this with smaller and sweeter fruit, called binayuyo. i have trees of both bignay and binayuyo and i make juice from both. Also, the smoke from the wood smells nutty. I've used it to smoke meat.

[@VPCh.]

For an island smaller than New Jersey, New Caledonia has an incredible selection and biodiversity of fruit

[@ThatQatPerson]

And crows?

[@PhinClio]

And geckos!

[@Hiltok]

New Caledonia also has the greatest variety of Araucarias - 14 out of the 20 extant species, although the New Caledonia species are more alike one another than the other 6 species that are found across Brazil, Argentina, Chile, New Guinea (PNG & Papua), Australia and Norfolk Island.

[@tonray9395]

But in New Jersey we have a greater diversity of burned out cars up on blocks

[@commenter4898]

Whoa, wasn't expecting to see a fellow KFP on this small channel... Wait, Jared has 380K subscribers now!? Anyway, it seems people from temperate zones often underestimate how much biodiversity there is in the tropics, especially when there is island biogeography involved. Hawai'i has 1000 species of fruit flies.

[@julieblair7472]

The lighting gods really blessed this one wtf, you look magical.

[@WeirdExplorer]

every once in a while it happens haha

[@youtube.commentator]

Your AD was on point.

[@scythe.bullet]

In the Visayas region of the Philippines, we call it Bognay. It's a smaller variety. People don't often sell it because the fruit is very small, and the seed takes up more of the fruit than the flesh. During my childhood, we used to eat it after school. There were many growing along the roads back then. Edit: Guys do you remember/know utot². It also grows on the side of the roads and we used to eat it. Mga taga bukid ray kahibaw dira hahahaha

[@TaLeng2023]

DA, DOST or whichever agency can should start breeding for better varieties.

[@chazzychanz]

This fruit was my childhood! You can't find anyone selling those, but you can found them in the nature (someone's yard or forest/kebon) 😂

[@diogenessinopeus]

That merch skit was HILLARIOUS 🤣🤣

[@machinegunhippy]

Youre a genius and a honorary member of my family

[@oyaoya5200]

We call it Buni or Wuni!! Iirc it's pollinator is flies, yes, trees produce flowers which attract flies. You can smell it when its flowering season. Not that stinks to.

[@xiraoit9342]

Bignay / Buni / Wuni

[@Exibita]

Happy to hear that smarter every day is one of your big patrons again. There's something very warmly, fuzzily wholehearty about Destin supporting creators on youtube that dominate a niche of their own

[@Karoline_g]

🤣the ad for your t shirts was hilarious! Well done you

[@Iknowwhereyoulive-666]

Filipinos may love it, but for many others this fruit is a big nay

[@Gelatinocyte2]

Tsaka ko lang nakuha yung pun. May gad!

[@toryumau6798]

… Then you simply must try its hybrid strain BigYay! >)X^D

[@quarantene3072]

LOL .. sorry , I wasnt expecting you to be looking at me ;)

[@thetrawlerman]

Have you ever tried jabuticaba? It's native here in Brazil and the Sweden queen loves it, she even brought a tree to Sweden

[@tongthaivuong]

he did in episode 63, 118 and 682

[@WeirdExplorer]

check www.weirdexplorer.com

[@lolcatz88]

My jabuticaba just made a heap of fruit for the first time! I didn’t even see them until I drove in one day and saw all the beautiful black fruits on it! It has made like 5 in previous years but they never ripened because it was too dry and they fell off, but this year we had a lovely day of rain (it’s usually very dry here in winter) and it must have triggered the tree to flower and fruit! The spotted bower birds love to eat them too!

[@jeffery8928]

It grows well here in South Florida.

[@miacabanting9262]

Bignay season is from May- August :) Peak season is July! the name is pronounced as [big- näy] really good for fresh juice, a good alternative for cranberries.

[@tamosameer9965]

This is very common in India/Bangladesh. We call it "Karam Cha"

[@sazji]

This superficially resembles the fruit of Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). It’s widely rumored to be poisonous but it’s no more poisonous than any other Prunus. The seed is poisonous if you crunch it though. So don’t crunch and eat the seeds. They’re in season now. Want to try some?

[@gorillapermacuture]

Looks like the birds would spread those fast, Aloha!

[@knockonwall]

Love this guy. Awesome plug

[@liesinaglass]

There are bignay trees at the Fruit and Spice park in south FL. They are back by the mango trees. I think they were ripe around June if I remember right.

[@PookyMo100]

Just watched a local documentary video about bignay wine yesterday and now you have one about it 😁 Feels like the world is telling me to go ahead and try it

[@ma.elenanarangha3337]

Bignay season is july to aug. It is very sweet if it is ripe. It is ripe if it is black . The blackest color.. we made bignay juice into jam verysweet.

[@simonrival1613]

3:18 Hey, how did you know?

[@auleaf1210]

Ah relatives of Antidesma bunius huh, we call it Buni or Wuni here in Java. It's still a roadside tree you can find quite often here but it's more famous for their wood. There are a few big trees approx. 1m in diameter in my little campus ground

[@markv1974]

Buni or wuni is smaller? Must be the binayuyo which is a smaller relative

[@bridex]

I love bignay. There's a place here in Davao, Phiippines where they grow and make products out of the fruit.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Interesting name, sounds like donut in French hmm donut with jam of bignay inside, bignay beignet (hehe 3rd)

[@hog7203]

I'm sure like a lot of fruits, the same species can taste slightly different from plant to plant, and season to season. Wild blackberries are like that imo. Same with the wild muscadine grapes. Some vines have sweeter fruits than others. Wild mulberry trees always seem to be that way also. That's a colorful fruit, with the different stages of ripening on the same stem. Glad you finally got to try it. Cool shirt btw and you can "look" anywhere you want to. It's your channel/ show.

[@patatlantian4614]

You really got the best ads bro. Short and funny. Hope you sell alot of product!

[@jatc11yey]

Finally!!! Ive been waiting for you to try this!!! 😊

[@lilylilylily2675]

Been so long that I forgot how Bignay actually looks like

[@markjardinez5602]

the season for bignay here in the Philippines is late may to early june. that is the time bignay is harvested where most of the fruits are black.

[@TheDiversifiedFarmer]

Some people have Bignay, some people have smallnays.....we don't talk about it. If we have a Bignay, we keep it to ourselves.

[@bazzle592]

That was the best merch plug I've ever seen, I was hook line and sinker.

[@shibibi1]

Ooh, they're native to Australia too! That means I can actually get and grow some

[@robrabbit2773]

I'm in the Philippines right now, just watchd you vid and my wifey said, as the the lovely Frenchman did, that yes they are not quite ripe and that it is pronounced Big- nigh 😉 Love watching you vids👍

[@tedgunderson67]

Dang did you get a new camera?

[@jannebrija9879]

I hope you can try my childhood fruit too, its Muntingia Calabura or known in the Philippines as Aratiles. We had a wild one growing near my childhood home and I enjoyed it a lot.

[@tachiebillano6244]

(FYI: It's pronounced as "Big-NAHY," not "Big-neigh." There are no long vowels in Tagalog or Filipino.) Bignay trees are either male or female (dioecious -- bearing male and female flowers on separate trees), so if you're living in the tropics and want to grow your own supply, you need both sexes growing within a bee or butterfly's flight of each other for best results.

[@markeister1560]

Quick way to remember is "Bignay sounds like Bill Nye"

[@hartoramasenju4012]

It's called sadipe in my place. Sweet & sour, one of my favorite fruit

[@thedeesus4249]

I was on my porch, laughing out loud. That ad was really good. Was that two birds with one stone?

[@robertr.hasspacher7731]

Jared, you can find Autumn Olive berries right about now and they are edible and not unpalatable. It's an asiatic species that is invasive in many parts of North America. I'm trying to eradicate them from my land, so difficult.

[@cheeks1462]

Best merch pitch ever

[@naveenlp]

had a lot of these at fruit and spice park in miami. they were very sweet and slightly acidic. tasted very similar to pomegranate.

[@vanessapaakkonen6637]

Congrats on your first bignay😊

[@WeirdExplorer]

Thank you!! 😊

[@penitentman7139]

Hey Jared, I've been re-binging your videos (again), I just watched your 10th anniversary video and at the end theres a clip of you and Steven trying the friut of the Gimpi Gimpi, did you ever end up posting that one? I don't remember watching it Thanks for all your shared fruit knowledge!

[@WeirdExplorer]

I have about 2 years worth of footage filmed already 😅 its coming... probably in the spring

[@penitentman7139]

Looking forward to it

[@flyingflowers1889]

It's popular here in Assam, Northeast India too. Its called hellos here Very delicious fruit

[@damonroberts7372]

We have at least five native species of _Antidesma_ in the Australian tropics, including _A. bunius._ Some of them are endemic, and I believe all produce edible fruit. Sadly they seem to be little known outside indigenous communities and native plant enthusiasts. The others are _A. erostre, A. ghaesembilla, A. hylandii_ and _A. parvifolium._

[@jolus6678]

I hoped to try this at The fruit and Spice Park but it wasn’t in season.

[@jenniferbethparishwhite688]

Merch ad was hilarious 😂 😂😂

[@DeliciousPigeonCheez]

Please try the wiri wiri pepper if you ever get a chance

[@shelleyhodgkinson1341]

Segue to your merch is hilarious 🤣

[@Sivielfer]

Is it supposed to be sour all the time? Or only at the beginning of the season?

[@markjardinez5602]

even when fully ripe it still has a slight sourness and mild bitter after-taste because of the anthocyanin in it the dark violet pigment which helps fight diabetes and even cancer.

[@ExburneLightDarkness]

Last. Edit: I love your content as always!

[@skylerdickson2939]

I have never been bothered by you looking to the side. When people do that, its sometimes a face called 'accessing' when people look slightly up and to the side to think. You look like youre really smart always in accessing facial expression XD

[@TheDiversifiedFarmer]

Good video, Jared 🍇

[@rudilon7213]

Bignay fruits are sweet if it grows on volcanic soil and the Philippine variety are smaller, almost similar to Black Pepper fruit.

[@SarahBeckford]

You should try a pureivan ground berry

[@aksbs3700]

3:18 i have never felt so uncomfortable watching this channel 🤣

[@rustybrazenfire]

With sour + bitter was there any astringency to the berry?

[@oatiko3065]

Have you had Baligang, a native fruit in Bicol, Philippines?

[@blueghost4121]

Where is your video on loganberries?

[@isaacthek]

If you rotate your camera 90 degrees your viewfinder will be directly above the lens... I know it was an ad, but there's a solution.

[@wickerwork_wesley]

did you get to try bignay wine?

[@CookingWithCows]

That's a big nay from me, bro.

[@Kievlar]

Bignay is like Philippine native birds' life saver!

[@carlosnazariopr]

The one I tasted from Puerto Rico they are very sweet when black but probably yours not exposed to full sun, the bitterness come frok the crushed seed

[@palarious]

Merch read was so great haha

[@franzb69]

i have a tree of this. there are two major varieties, a smaller one and that one that you have in the video that's bigger. i have the smaller variety.

[@bartolomeorizzo]

You can look wherever you want, i think, don't worry

[@kdonsky6]

that ad convinced me to buy a shirt 😂

[@rich1051414]

So, I have a question. I was watching the music video to soul to squeeze by the rhcp, and there is a contortionist on there that looks an awful lot like you.

[@TheWeirdestOfBugs]

Jared, you made me laugh so hard I startled my dad

[@mukhtaralbahlani5273]

Hey, so there's a fruit that grows in Oman around the hajar mountains called a boot pronounce just the a 👢 would. Upside is they are very tasty albeit a little too sweet but the downside is that they are very hard to find in the capital (though you can find it) and they usually produce fruit during summer when the temperatures aren't really ideal for visitors (though you can always go to the mountains and stay there for better weather and to get the fruit straight for the sorce).

[@stevenmurray3238]

Boot? How is it written in Arabic? I want to try and find more if I know what it is, don’t know that common name

[@mukhtaralbahlani5273]

@@stevenmurray3238 it's smelled "بوت" though if you type it on Google it sometimes gives you barriers because that is spelled as "توت"

[@stevenmurray3238]

Found more about it Reptonia muscatencesea is scientific name from sapotaceae family, looks like people really appreciate it. What time of the year is it ripe? I’ll try and taste it

[@mukhtaralbahlani5273]

@@stevenmurray3238yeah, that's the fruit. around May or June but we get them till July. I only know one store in muscat that cells them, but they don't keep for very long so we keep them in the freezer and eat them whenever.

[@mukhtaralbahlani5273]

@@stevenmurray3238 in fact I knew of them for years but never had them till about a year ago because I dont think they plant the trees but just harvest the fruits from the wild 😅

That looks like what we call in the Philippines "bignay kalabaw", a slightly larger variety.

ah ha. good to know

Some people like the tart taste of the fruit, but some of us have a gene that makes us taste a lingering bitterness with these fruits. Unfortunately, I'm one of them. But don't let this comment hamper your enthusiasm in tasting this fruit.
