Coastal Foraging || Tropical Beachcraft Fruits and Vegetables Pt 1

[@Sheckybea]

I lived in Kiribati for two years, and I can tell you that noni is much more palatable if you pick it when it’s softer. Still tastes like medicine, and is an acquired taste, but does keep you very healthy.

[@gabehumphries5483]

Im not gonna eat the ripe noni......LOL

[@markb3424]

Noni is no good.

[@machudaimarunrak6292]

In some parts of Thailand we cook Noni before we eat it. You can either grill or boil it, but make sure that it's cooked and soft. It should help getting rid of strange smell and flavor of the fruit. In term of culinary... this fruit never be eaten alone but often throw in a salad with other kinds of vegetables or grounded and mix with meat and chilli.

[@samuelmason8370]

I bet it would be good in chile verde.

[@twinkitten1]

Typical fruit in the Caribbean, in my backyard I have growing (spinach vine, pomegranate, soursop, sugar Apple, lime, aloe, banana, plantain, karela, guava, lemongrass, jalapeño, eggplant, bonavis beans, bayleaf, dasheen leaves/calaloo, okra) breadfruit trees almost at every house also almond trees, coconut trees, mangos tree and avocado trees tamarind and ackee trees all over the place.....Noni is used and is called dog dumplin here

[@terminalhobbes]

That passion fruit looks delicious! Thanks for the vid, love your channel!

[@sosaietevaai8686]

Haha we don't eat noni lol we use for medicine and we call noni with our language nonu...one day come to my beautiful island Samoa...good video and thanks for sharing.

[@gabehumphries5483]

I'd love to see da island Samoa

[@dinodan7564]

Noni has a nickname for people who have just been to Hawaii the “Puke fruit” or whatever maybe people there actually call it the puke fruit I dunno

[@TheCristuff]

Noni taste naste very very bitter try soursop its cousin for sweetness

[@BarryAdams777]

WOW!! I just now stumbled upon this channel!!! I cut my teeth on surviving the kohala coast of the Big Island!!!!! THANK YOU for sharing!!!

That mango was perfect for eating

[@gabehumphries5483]

I like your vids.. Mahaloz for the share

Gabe makes the best YT videos

[@ed8742]

The noni you can mix with mango and the passion fruit or others

[@nicknack8459]

Who else got hungry when they saw his fruit collection?

[@jijineko5024]

Thank you for sharing! Nice to see a Tropical foraging video for a change. In Trinidad and Tobago, we call the "Cotton Candy"; the Coconut "Bread".

[@gabehumphries5483]

Jiji Neko Mahalo for watching

[@alaurad1987]

That’s exactly what I was saying when I was watching it. The “coconut bread”

[@alexanderbobylev2810]

Are there any opportunities for fruit foraging in Trinidad and Tobago, especially in Tobago, as I am thinking of going there one day?

[@jijineko5024]

@@alexanderbobylev2810 Oh yes, especially if you go on hikes. The tour guides would even guide & help you to get fruit & give you lots of info. I 100% recommend visiting Tobago. Do lots of research & stay a while & experience all that you can. :-)

[@alexanderbobylev2810]

@@jijineko5024 thank you👋. What would be the most common fruit trees growing in Tobago, and are there always some local fruits all year round? What are your favorite fruits there?

[@kittyfantastic7681]

I do a lot of foraging in PA. I am looking forward to finding new plants to forage in Hawaii!

[@gabehumphries5483]

good times

[@jaebarquilla8238]

The round yellow one and the coconut. We also have fruits like that back in the Philippines. I grew up eating those 2 on my childhood 😊. Watching your videos makes me miss my life back in the Philippines. I love your videos though ^____^

[@ImSafeonSite]

New Subscriber!! Awesome presentation and video. Thank you for all your hard work and content!!

[@mareenewman]

Yum love mango and passionfruit, coconut cotton candy😮😊Noni😝doesn't look nice😂better as a antiseptic I think.

[@whaletom]

Mahalo for a nice vid, lived in Micronesia and the Caribbean for many years and appreciate you sharing. The Noni should be eaten when fully ripe, it gets then squishy, the consistence of... a very soft overripe Kiwi... well just very soft. It smells kind of like cheese, and the taste reminds of blue cheese or stilton, and it actually tastes good with some Chia crackers or sort. Luv your hatchet!

[@gabehumphries5483]

I'm not eating "squishy" noni I know the noni I ate was not fully ripe

[@molliejonte2732]

Great video!

[@gabehumphries5483]

thank you

[@Brandywine6969]

I cannot believe I had not tried mango before the other day. I have been missing out in life, lol. I fell in love immediately. I love mango.

[@zaminahamza4822]

nice ... all these fruit i grew up eating ..found at our own backyard.in guyana south america (amazon rainforest)

[@theomniscientogoftheintern8889]

A Lot of south american plants made it here a long time ago. Very cool. For instance in Hawai'i we have Uala. Im not sure what part of south america you are from but i know that Uala is a relative of Batatas (Sweet Potato). in April 2018 they did a test on South Polynesian sweet potato and found that it is a relative of South American Sweet Potato, and the genetics split around 100,000 years ago. No one really knows how it got from South America to South Polynesia though. Perhaps a Tsunami up rooted some and washed it to Polynesia and it propagated. Or 100,000 or more years ago the mountain range from Nazca to Rapa Nui then from Rapa Nui to Tahiti was mostly above the ocean and the plant propagated that way. Or Human civilization is far older than scientists are willing to give credit for and both of our ancestors were trading them. Either way Batatas got to Polynesia about 100,000 years before modern human history. Just a cool fact. www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-04488-4

[@First._.Last.]

Wowza. Coconut is the MacGyver of the tropics. The stage you show has many useful things going for it! Husk, shell, oil (and the many 'sub-uses' of the oil. Hey, maybe the oil is the Duct tape of the MacGyver of the tropics.) heart of palm, meat (does it still have water in?), and I've certainly overlooked some things. Creation is *awesome*!! Thanks for this video. Subscribed!! #TakeCareBeWellDoGood

[@fitrianasunnah1242]

The first one we called it mengkudu. Can be eaten raw. My grandma usually get the riped one and just crushed it and eat it as a jamu (herbal med). But now people often like it green and young one. Slice it and eat it with salt. I never taste it btw because it's amazing smell. Love from indonesia

[@sherritice9279]

Really cool video! It almost seems like cheating, survival training in the tropics. LOL It is so easy to get what you need. I live in NH, where it is difficult if you are foraging during winter and early spring. It is fun to see what are the different challenges in different climates. I have only watched a couple of your videos, so far, but I can already see that the down sides of ideal growing conditions are spoilage and bugs. Thanks for the videos!

[@JoesBrandonomics]

Hey man I really like your vids please keep making them!!

[@gabehumphries5483]

shooooots brah

[@sosoldef1066]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this! I have never tried that Noni fruit! Wish I could but don't grow in Nz! Keep them vids coming though 😄

Can you show us how to forage for weed.

[@gabehumphries5483]

[@rickc4317]

Fascinating, thanks, Gabe. Sure different than in the Rocky Mtns of Colorado.

[@BonBon-oq5pl]

Is it true that you can use the fibers of coconut as tinder to make a fire?

[@gabehumphries5483]

yes some of the best fire making fibers when dry

[@elizabethbennet4791]

i use saw palm leaves

[@theodorebreedlove8419]

the thing in the coconut is refered to as a conut apple, taste like coconut flavored angel food cake, very good for you and delicious.

Zamina Hamza very interesting eh. Guyanese women are beautiful 😊😘

[@StevanOutdoor]

+Zamina Hamza. Is that British or French Guyana. I can't guess because your name is Arabic.

[@AlexRides808]

I like the fact that I can pull my truck over and pick mangoes fresh off the tree right on the side of the road.

[@theodorebreedlove8419]

that mango is actually at its best point, the softer the better!

[@desmondmiller3198]

For the Noni you don't normally eat it you put it in a bag and let it drain and mix it with a bit of honey and drink it.

[@islandfantasy5931]

We use noni for medicine. We let it sit in a jar with some sea salt. The juice we drink daily and I haven't gotten sick since I started taking it.

[@speakerwild1189]

Noni is also known as vomit fruit. You can still eat it but you probably know what you're getting into if you do.

[@gabehumphries5483]

speakerwild11 it's not good

[@iskandarzulkarnain669]

Lol yeah the smell is awful like wet sox

[@aftaflash]

Spicy, fermented bad cheese.

Pretty easy surviving on a tropical island. I wish Alaska had that much to forage

[@gabehumphries5483]

kinda easy

[@daintyflygirl4va]

O hw i miss thT right nw.Wish, I cn just smash one(coconut Sprout)on the rock open and eat it right nw.I love coconut and everything found on our Islands.Noni is a good herb.We eat the fruits raw and we use the leaves to steam with whenever we feel sick and the roots we use it in our coconut oil. We use the oil on our hair, skin.Papua new Guinea, Melanasia,Pacific Islands girl.😍

I know the palm trees in my backyard are thriving. As are the hibiscus. Thanks for all you do, LOVE IT! ♥Aloha♥

[@gabehumphries5483]

mahalo for watching I'm not sure a coconut tree can grow in California but maybe

[@jobelb.garcela9476]

Amazing Coastal jungle with abundance of fruits to eat. In the Philippines with hundreds of thousands of Coastal areas, I doubt of the presence of edible fruits. It might have been cut off for charcoal purpose. Have you encountered any poisonous snakes or Python in the big island ?
