Foraging for rare berries in New Caledonia - West Indian Raspberry

[@pineappllesta]

Steven gasping like that when he thought you ate the berry 😂😂

[@marcelobgr1949]

Rubus rosifolius is an invasive species in the atlantic rainforest in southern Brazil. It is so common, that a lot of people think it is native.

[@Kalugatin]

Tho,there's actually a native rubus here Rubus sellowiana

[@XoroksComment]

​​@@Kalugatin*Rubus sellowii

[@Kalugatin]

@@XoroksComment yeah

[@MeliponiculturaenCostaRica]

And then people call it raspberry

[@OsirusHandle]

​@@MeliponiculturaenCostaRicaoften theyre all called brambles

[@markiangooley]

It’s amazing how widespread Rubus is. Arctic and tropical species.

[@mulhollanddrivehobo6910]

Wow, your channel grew up so much, congratulations for this, im subscribed to your channel for years!

[@DTolen]

Rubus rosiflorus is the one that grows in south America, and tastes like cardboard. That one may be rubus probus, they are almost identical, but probus is said to have a better taste

[@sdfkjgh]

4:32 "Everything Tastes Like Ginger" sounds like a great album title.

[@RM-fo9qh]

The beginning 😂 I gasped and internally screeched no when you said “and eat it ALL!”

[@TheEazychee]

My favorite KZbinr by far. So interesting to see the culture behind all of these places.

[@noneyobizniz8991]

I always enjoy your channel. I love how specific your subject matter is, yet how universal the appeal

[@sixeses]

Thanks Jared and Steve

[@funeats8201]

I deeply miss the wild berries in Ohio that grew in the woods behind my house. No idea what they were but they seemed like small, intensely flavored raspberries that were almost the color of blackberries. One of my favorite parts of my childhood was waking up, putting on a long sleeves and pants to protect from thorns and going foraging out there by myself.

[@ShellyS2060]

Two berries?! you guys got twice lucky❤ great video again. Always good to see Stephen too!

[@goobs..]

It’s great to see new content from you! Love your fruit reviewing vids

[@IsmailAbdulMusic]

This is interesting. I picked a few wild raspberries in the city of Pontiac, Michigan

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

Rubus rosifolius and Rubus mollucanus- well they might be rare where you were looking, but they're super abundant in Eastern Australia. I've got thickets of them on my property and they grow everywhere in the district and up and down the east coast and dividing range.

[@hot_wheelz]

Now that really is something quite special. You do indeed rock Jared, please keep up the amazing content.

[@GarmanyRachel]

Have you ever tried Hydnora africana or jackal fruit? It looks so weird.

[@JTMusicbox]

That’s awesome! I’ve never seen a bramble with leaves like that before and the fruit sounds really nice! It feels like I’m becoming a fruit nerd since watching your channel though. In the last couple years I’ve planted 3 different Rubus varieties in my yard and when you first said Rubus moluccanus knew that wasn’t it because the leaves are way different

[@shawns0762]

I've got red and black raspberries, dewberries, blackberries, wineberries and thimbleberries, I want to get some Himalayan raspberries next

[@JTMusicbox]

@@shawns0762 That’s awesome! Personally I’m excited for my loganberries which were stunted last year but grew several long canes this year. I’m hoping for a good harvest next year.

[@shawns0762]

@@JTMusicbox I want to try Loganberries too, also Tayberries. I hear Marionberries are really good too. Have you ever had serviceberries/juneberries? I discovered them while hiking in northern Wisconsin, could not believe how good they were

[@sirearlgrey2036]

Rosifolius means "rose-leafed". So yes, the leaves are a notable feature of this particular Rubus species!

[@DianeGraft]

You mentioned wineberries. I found those for the first time this year, and it turns out there are several good patches right in my neighborhood. Other than being very small, they are wonderful. Tiny tart wild raspberries on prolific bushes.

[@stoopidgoombah]

I find using carbonated water / club soda / sparkling water rinse your mouth is very helpful in cleansing the palate. Perhaps its the bubbles/fizz which lift the oils off the tongue to reset the taste buds

[@claymoresteel]

yeah rubus rosifolius is one of my favourites to find in australia

[@loricurbo]

I would love to go to New Caledonia to see Crested Geckos in the wild!

[@yfrontsguy]

Fascinating to see this species in the wild. In some very few gardens in Europe we grow the double flowered cultivar which of course never has any berries. I never knew where it was native to. Thanks!

[@kowalityjesus]

You Rock Jared!!

[@ryandavis8245]

It’s black berry season so I’m picking as many as I can ! For jam

[@tracer97]

In Australia if you're curious, Mt Tambourine area has both the atherton raspberry and parvifolius growing like crazy.

[@sockpuppetbitme]

Grows everywhere here in eastern Australia, not bad with a scoop of ice-cream. Also check out the Atherton raspberry 😋

[@Zôfiëmakeup]

In my country there is a fruit called Chañar from the tree Geoffroea Decorticans. It looks like a nut but you can bite into it and it’s soft and chewy like a taffy and it tastes like dulce de leche.

[@ameythegooner]

Great content once again. BTW have you done a video on comparing the 4 (or possible even more) wild strawberry varietals found in North America ?

[@anuj68]

steven is the coolest dude ever!

[@Ari-jj9op]

Rosifolius makes sense, very rose-like leaves.

[@musicman9901]

I would be interested in a reaction to Whitebark Raspberry; apparently it is what blue raspberry flavouring in candies is based off of. I am planning on making a road trip at some point to taste and maybe try propagating them so it would be cool to see a video on them.

[@SKaede]

wow there are a lot of lolot leafs there. It's great for wrapping beef and grill over coal.

[@gorillapermacuture]

All over Kauai, came with the Chinese workers back in the 1800's. Very invasive. Cook the fruit into a jam and they really shine. Aloha!

[@NathanYospe]

Likewise anywhere above 500 ft or so on Molokai.

[@larrybuzbee7344]

Oh brah, I had live Kauai '84-'96. I miss'm. Aloha nui.

[@akosijarako6455]

In the Philippines we called that sampinit. It taste bland after the rain totally different from grocery raspberry. When it is summer it taste sweet.

[@TaLeng2023]

I think we got this same specie in the Philippines, up in the higher elevations. Can't find them here in the lowlands though.

[@jf3457]

I found similar berries when cleaning forested land in Borneo. Really interesting.

[@randangbalado]

indonesia have many raspberry species

[@isaaco5679]

We have wine berries growing on our farm. They are awesome for picking!

[@jeremybyington]

Wow! Rubus moluccanus looks very similar to Rubus probus and Rubus illecebrosus. I’ve always wondered what they tasted like, but also the texture. It looks it would have thin but tough skin, like that of an orange slice.

[@OnkyoGrady]

I know you've done a show on them before, but right in NY state within easy distance of the city the Chinese raspberries/wineberries are ripe. Native blackberries too of course. If you want to load up now's the time. I pulled at least a gallon off of the volunteers on the edge of my yard just yesterday, it's a good year for them. There's going to be a record year for poke berries too, but I don't eat those or know anyone who does.

[@robertschnobert9090]

The shock when you pretended to eat the whole fruit haha! 🌈

[@W9e0e2e3e4pizza]

Rubus is fun genus. I find a lot of them taste very very similar though.

[@iuquirimilin]

I just discovered Rubus Rosifolius is an invasive species in my country, that's really weird cause we forage them everywhere since I was a child, even my grandfather thought they were native '-'

[@zombmomandrea6014]

It's like the last dandelion of the season moment😂

[@MeliponiculturaenCostaRica]

Found another species of Rubus we didn't try in the hill of Death this week!

[@SamiZouad15]

Another pretty common one in this part of the world that you may encounter is Atherton tableland raspberry, native to northern Australia and Papua New Guinea. Scientific name is rubus Probus

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

Not just Atherton. It's found down the east coast to about the NSW border. Of all the native raspberries, it's definitely the best and sometimes grown commercially.

[@joelrampersad1359]

In the mountainous areas of Jamaica, its bright yellow, plentiful, and called "cheeseberries".

[@dullnwhiteish6125]

We have those in Puerto Rico

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Oooh these Philippines videos are a throwback oh right I remember that one lol

[@rebeccaaxelsson247]

Love them 😌

[@jsav4269]

I’m in nj and the dangle berries are ripe, ever eat those, we have 1000’s in the woods by my house! They’re pretty freaking good

[@wayneyamashita4531]

It is common plant on the Big Island of Hawaii 😊

[@UnknowableThen]

While you probably won't taste it, I suggest doing a video of Daintrees river banana, a banana species only ever seen once, and never found again, it's a pretty remarkable species.

[@soupinhyperspace3179]

Lol that was pretty funny when you pretended to eat the whole thing

[@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia]

You guys are so brave to try almost every fruit you come across with, which is a bit scary. I see a lot of fruit when I go photo shooting, some look fine, some look deadly (like the ones you guys eat on the channel), I never touch any single of them, let along taste them. LOL

[@Phoebegb]

This called calingan in Indonesia,me and my childhood friends used to hunting this after school

[@Nmethyltransferase]

1:13 Dramatic snaccing.

[@franzb69]

that raspberry reminds me of the rare filipino wild raspberry from the mountains.

[@pkre707]

Some good globules on that Raspberry.

[@crimsonmoyle4053]

It looks a lot like the Australian native raspberry. Called the Atherton Raspberry,

[@fiendlybrds]

Jared does Rock! Haha

[@LockersDetroit]

does Stephen have his own channel ?

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

1:10 Jared's inner Barney Stinson came out, lol

[@orangeraptor-]

i really love these foraging videos, awesome video

[@WeirdExplorer]

Glad to hear it!

[@pranavgaming2029]

You should try salmon Berrys me and my freinds found wild salmon Berrys. There good

[@moayadmyro1426]

Yesterday I was in Nederland I found also somthing look like the barries in this video and also many other kinds of barries all over i am not sure if they are really rare

[@Dazedsoul]

💙💙💙

[@loganmacneil3424]

Out of personal curiosity it would be cool if you ever had time to check out logan berries. I wanna know what the hype is about but don't have any near me lol.

[@niellahell]

nice

[@bernadeth2520]

i dont think the one you have at phillipine (sampinit) is rubus mollucanus, the shape is totally different. You can find a lot of mollucanus at mountain area here around tropics south east asia, they are mostly climber plant. Sampinit is most likely also a rubus rosifolius

[@raflebel7453]

Hi , im going to New York this weekend and i want to know the best place to find tropical or special fruits?? somes adress to recommand?

[@sandrasingh9532]

Where have you been?

[@WeirdExplorer]

hit that notification bell :) I post every Sunday

[@oblivionpro69]

That pepper taste could easily just be unripeness, considering you said it wasn’t in season.

[@ashleyjack7900]

Was this in July 2024? Considering a new years visit but is it safe in new caledonia?

[@CharuzuXVI]

Have you tried Rubus illecebrosus, The the real strasberry.

[@jeremybyington]

Where did you find those? I’ve been wanting to source them for a couple years now.

[@dizzious]

Brooo, New Caledonia and no collab with Crime Pays? I wonder if anyone has hybridized these with some of the more common raspberry species?

[@SirBojo4]

Free Caledonia!!!!

[@PhilHdmi]

Ma men!

[@yunodiewtf]

If I put my hand THAT dirty in my mouth I'll probably need to take a 3-component antibiotic of horse dose not to freaking die. Kudos to the immunity of you two.

[@teodorcamaj14]

I would love to try this,looks super tasty

[@yuritarded8608]

Its so wierd that your channels on the exact topic im into and its so odd

[@m.t-thoughts8919]

Try out Turkey

[@KRich408]

Looked like a Raspberry

[@duncanbananatyne3890]

Cannabis Raspberry

[@joshuagolembiewski5383]

Lmao when you faked eating all of it

[@benwalter4842]

Have you tried the Gummy Worm fruit or the Rosberg Fig fruit? If not, you should definitely try them. If so, you can ignore this comment.

[@cubetheorist3419]

Do you perhaps mean the roxburgh fig (Ficus auriculata)?

[@WeirdExplorer]

not yet!

[@pjp653]

You should try gummy worm fruit they sell it on Miami fruit 👍

[@A.R.77]

Ohh, I know that one and we have it here in Washington too. They are soooo damn bitter. Not a favorite of mine at all.

[@alcyonecrucis]

Weird explorer is such a trolium

[@pattheplanter]

So, definitely not Rubus rosifolius var. inermis. Because it had thorns.

[@ANNAMALAIfarm]

Not a single video is made for mari mari ink fruit

[@llcc77]

Sharing berries... they are married, but not to each others.

[@duncanbananatyne3890]

It is possible to have a same-sex heterosexual marriage.

[@terrypitt-brooke8367]

This looks just like a PNW salmonberry.

[@kodavulpedrius6712]

If you see any geckos, let us know❤

[@robest334]

Looks like snail eggs.

[@rarefruit2320]

Find any Eugenias?

[@WeirdExplorer]

yes! we had some pitangatubas there

[@notmyworld44]

Those little individual pieces of the berry are called ARILS.

[@akiraotoishi5756]

hey i dont mean to pick about your eyesight it could be due to malnutrition degeneration, or other health issues, which im sure you've seen a doctor for i understand.

[@klyanadkmorr]

looks like common mulberry

[@sirearlgrey2036]

I would disagree on that.
