Does This Fruit Really Taste Like PEANUT BUTTER? | Fruity Fruits - Peanut Butter Fruit

[@CallMeErie]

Your ability to describe how food tastes in such a vivid and provocative way will never cease to amaze me! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@eschuurkes]

Love the fruity-fruits intro comeback!

[@descargaelbano]

The seeds germinate very easily, and if you put them in a 5-gallon pot you will probably have a 3 to 4 ft tall tree and fruit in about 3 years. Next time you try the fruit, put the whole fruit in your mouth, eat the red part off and spit out the seed. Nibbling at it might let the flavor/aroma Escape.

[@catnip824]

Looks like the pasty/sticky texture of a Persimmon!

[@jshvjshv7322]

Good tip!

[@dogday283]

Do you wait for the fruit to be red ripe to collect the seeds?

[@LivvieLynn]

Would love to see a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with peanut butter fruit jam.

[@AdorkableArtist92]

Me too!

[@LucyShea81]

I second this!!

[@theblobconsumes4859]

9 months later but Weird Explorer did it; A fruit replacing the bread, the peanut butter and the jam.

[@descargaelbano]

I have several of these trees in my yard and I love it. You just got to get the fruit off before the birds eat them up

[@jshvjshv7322]

Funny but true!

[@cyrilsomaweera6897]

Is this okay to eat a lot in one time?

[@descargaelbano]

@@cyrilsomaweera6897 I don't see why not

[@linda.christie]

Put them in a brown paper bag to ripen. If you put a small bit of an apple in there, that helps. Close the bag. I use a binder clip after folding it over a couple of times.

I love this series! Emmy, my introduction to you was a single Fruity Fruits episode, followed by binging on all the other episodes, and then watching your other content. I think I became a subscriber by that second episode.

[@itatane]

Another fruit you might like to try is Northern Spicebush Berry (Lindera benzoin). I like mixing it with more bland fruit jams to give it an allspice taste. The leaves are also supposedly good as a tea.

[@rebeccaavega2298]

Salmon berries!! They are a sweet berry that look a lot like raspberries in shape but are the color of salmon roe. Definite must try!!

[@violethouseworth5943]

Oh oh i got these last year. can not wait to try the fruit>>>

[@KiJiHoon]

Am I tripping or is Emmy's voice higher than usual 😅 mine does that when I'm excited

[@mjh6083]

I thought I was the only one! I had to go back to another video to see if I was imagining it! There must be something up with the audio?

[@winterlight4521]

She sounds like a grammar school aged

[@Manderl00]

I've actually noticed her voice changes from video to video. Sometimes it's much higher sometimes it's much lower. It's definitely higher than usual in this video.

[@kammymarie13]

I’m behind on videos and the difference is really obvious after binging her videos 😂 I think this video might be sped up a tiny bit because her cadence is also a little different!

[@jayworthy342]

Watching your studio become lived in and gain character has been nice.

[@BensExoticFlorida]

I've looked into growing this in my backyard out of sheer exoticness but never been too impressed with the reviews. Yours seems similar to others. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrJaycrow30]

Not sure if you're familiar with 'Weird Explorer's' channel, but the host goes around the world trying strange fruits and it's so interesting to watch...just like your vids!!! Keep shining, cheers

[@BensExoticFlorida]

Love them both, and I'm using them as inspiration for my own channel

[@tangerinetangerine4400]

Love that channel!

[@gordonspears6320]

I have many of these little trees in my Florida garden. They germinate all by themselves, and will produce fruit in the partial shade of my mango and avocado trees. When I first tasted them I thought they tasted a lot like peanut butter, but the more I've eaten, the less I think I think it taste like peanut butter. I like them and so do the birds, but the fruits don't usually ripen at the same time even in a single bunch. They are continuously blooming and developing fruit throughout much of the year, I get only a few a day in season. I didn't know they could be picked orange for later bird-free eating, so thanks to you and Miami Fruit for that info. Sometimes the fruits ferment on the tree, and I like those the best.

[@TheSimArchitect]

It looks like a mini persimmon when you open it. Happy you tried it and shared with us! Thanks! Can you try to overripe a couple of them to see if they change?

[@joakuz]

I thought about persimmon too!😊

[@X22GJP]

No, it looks a females Vulva.

[@jenniferstepps]

As a North Carolinalin I can verify the magic of boiled peanuts. I’d describe them as having the texture of garbanzo beans. I ❤ boiled peanuts and often freeze batches. Instead of boiling them for hours and hours, I have used my Pressure Cooker/Instapot and made them in a fraction of the time. The secret is how salty you get them. We also refer to them as green peanuts…..

[@amyloring1648]

I made some in my crockpot. They are delicious and addictive. Thumbs up!!

[@rebekah1111]

I’ve only ever done them in a pot on the stove. What settings do you use on the pressure cooker?

[@jenniferstepps]

@@rebekah1111 I don’t remember but I googled it I think I cooked a small amount to see how it worked out and the salt ratio. I adjusted the salt and water levels for the next batches. It knocked out a lot of the time versus the pot/stove, plus I didn’t have to stand and watch a pot.

[@SCCelticGoddes]

I used to live in Summerville, SC and would go to the farmers market and buy boiled peanuts. In Charleston, we had Tony the Peanut man. I miss “fresh” boiled peanuts. People who have only tried canned are missing out on so much,

[@kareny5438]

Boil them with salt and 5 spice powder. Delicious.

[@cherylchristian5673]

So excited to see a new Fruity Fruits episode! Missed hearing you say “fruits that are fruity!”

[@StudioTinidril]

Maybe you should try *roasting* the fruits to see if that changes the flavor! 😊

[@amysedam2767]

@emmymade Maybe they call it peanut "butter" because it's a smooshy paste and spreads instead of naming it after "peanut butter" ? In South America things translate differently?

[@lbednaz]

I think after waiting a year for anything, it will never meet expectations!

[@idontknowyouthatsmypurse]

Awwww EMMY! For whatever reason I haven't connected with your videos in a long while. It gave me a much needed mood boost, to see your lovely face again 😊.

[@59wooly32]

Oh how i missed this series. You taught me about so many fruits and food’s growing up ❤ thank youu

[@batchampa]

The way the tree grows and the two fruiting seasons reminds me of my miracle fruit, they are a small tree/shrub, takes 3 years or so to start producing fruit, and have two fruiting seasons

[@onmywayto8083]

I have a miracle fruit shrub too. Miracle fruit and lemon is amazing. Tastes like the sweetest lemonade ever!

[@batchampa]

Emmy's voice seems super high pitch in this video.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

Fruity Fruits returns! Love that jingle!

[@timbeers7682]

You should do an apple competition with multiple types of apples to see which one is best! Obviously everyone has different preferences, but it is fun to try out new varieties to see how they compare.

[@johnlea3884]

ooh these sound delicious! i absolutely love boiled peanuts. i wonder if a jam made from this fruit would be more like peanut butter? though i feel like it might be more like ube jam

[@EstamosDe]

Boiled peanuts? How do u make them? Are they sweet or salty or what?

[@mfranck1]

I screamed, “EAT IT!!!” for 4 1/2 minutes.

[@tal8762]

Have you ever had loquats? We had a loquat tree where I lived in CA. I loved em!

[@lorenda79]

Emmy, I'd be very interested in learning more about boiled peanuts and perhaps a recipe video? You reminded me of a foggy memory from a family vacation when I was a child!

[@staceyportillo9222]

Emmy, have you heard of the monstera fruit? It looks like corn but is supposed to taste like a fruit salad.

[@calihhan4706]

That sounds interesting

[@BensExoticFlorida]

Dangerous fruit to eat. If you eat it underripe it can really mess up your mouth and throat

[@ThisGuy76]

Grown as a decorative landscaping plant; leaves are famous for having holes in them. Fruit looks like 🌽&🍌 had a baby with a snake as it's covered in hexagonal scales. Can only be eaten when completely ripe; the unripe fruit contains unpleasant levels of oxalic acid. It'll make your mouth dry & astringent if you eat it then. Place in a paper bag on the counter & only eat the portions of the fruit where the scales begin to come off naturally & the flesh is soft like a 🍌. Is very "tropical", like a combination of 🍌&🍍. Even here in South Florida they're hard to find.

[@farrelb33]

This might sound weird, but is Emmy’s voice a higher pitch in this video? I even checked if I accidentally had the video on 1.5 or something. Then when it got to the end where she was filming on a different day, her voice sounded normal again. Am I going crazy?

[@foxshui5418]

I've been growing one for the last 3 years and it finally is getting fruits!! So excited!

I live in Georgia (the state) and yes boiled peanuts are everywhere here. I like the cajun ones.

[@planclops]

That is so interesting. I'd been debating if I wanted to get a PB plant for my backyard garden. I'm not the biggest fan of boiled peanuts, but my father LOVES them, so maybe I will give this a try ❤

I'm growing this fruit. Planted right next to my blackberry jam fruit. 😂 because I have a sense of humor 🤷🏽‍♀️🇵🇷

[@syounkin3270]

Take a darkish towel and place it on the counter put the fruit on it and fold the other half of the towel over the fruit. Helps ripen faster and more consistently

[@janesmith1398]

Cloudberries, loganberries and salmonberries are some fruits you may want to try if you haven’t before. Thanks, Emmy! 💜

[@Deathcoreqt]

my favorite part of the fruity fruit videos is definitely the intro song I do a little dance every time

[@prehistoricpleb]

You should try the chocolate mint plant Emmy.

[@yadiracamacho499]

Apparently it grows in Venezuela. I've never seen it, I googled it and apparently it's known as "ciruela de monte" (bush plum).

[@lexaaxel916]

Heya Emmy! Have you ever tried to plant any of the other seeds of these fabulous exotic fruits that you try? :)

[@larissabrglum3856]

Have you ever tried a pawpaw? I had the opportunity to try one the other day. It's the largest tree-borne fruit native to the contiguous US, a close relative of the cherimoya, but many people have never heard of it because it's not well suited for commercial cultivation and thus is generally not available to consumers.

[@idellekell]

There's a search bar at the top. Type in Emmy made and pawpaw. It will pop up

Ooh you should try (if you haven’t already!) milk fruit and abiu (pouteria caimito). The inside textures are similar to me, almost like a persimmon mangosteen mix. Flavor of both is great, but def worth trying both! Most sources say they’re found in Latin American regions, but I had both in Taiwan!

[@kinpatu]

Boiled peanuts are the closest thing I’ve found in the US to natto.

[@bjdefilippo447]

I have noticed that unlike many other countries, the US doesn't seem to have a lot of "funky" foods. I've definitely not found the natto sort, anyway.

[@loriki8766]

@@bjdefilippo447 Some pawpaw varieties are funky but you won't find pawpaws in grocery stores, you either need to forage or grow your own. The fruit doesn't stay fresh very long after harvest and it bruises easily. Worth growing a couple trees though.

Whoa! A hundred bucks for a bowl of fruit?! Yeah, screw that. I'll just stick to actual peanut butter.

There’s some wonderful Australian native fruits. Finger lime is my absolute favourite. Davidson plum is also nice. But there’s lots of different ones to try.

When you think that commercial peanut butter has added salt, and many have added sugar, I doubt any fruit could taste like it. Boiled peanuts, sure.

[@mollyvandever9817]

When you cut open the ripe fruit, I thought the seed looked a bit like a persimmon seed. Is there really a similarity between the two seeds?

Whenever I’m at Epcot at Walt Disney World, I see the peanut butter fruit plant in the greenhouses of the Living With the Land attraction. As peanut butter is my favorite food, I’m fascinated by this fruit. I’ve never had the opportunity to try it, though. Sounds like I’m not really missing out. I suppose I could grow the plant here in Central Texas where it’s hot most of the year, but I’m not a gardener at all so I’d probably fail at it. I’ll stick to actual peanut butter.

I am growing two of these little trees (except a different species, armeniaca), i am impressed at how a plant can be so fussy and yet so durable at the same time. These things are wilted half the time, because the INSTANT they get thirsty they will wilt, and when i put them in the greenhouse over the winter they will produce only stringy pale leaves despite getting plenty of sun and warm circulated air, yet they have also fought through spider mite infestations that killed companion plants, and react very well to pruning. I’ve found that the flowers are difficult to pollinate unfortunately, but i do get some fruit. These also don’t make good indoor plants because it is very difficult to shape them

I think that the Peanut part of the name refers to the nutty flavor, and the Butter part of the name refers to the sticky, pasty texture. Just a random thought
