20 years ago I went to Ecuador with the family. We were in the car travelling between cities and my cousin stops the car to buy something from the side of the road. He comes back with a large bunch of huge beans that had a cotton like thing in them with these very large seeds. I loved it like mad. Years later I mention this food to my family and everybody was like you are crazy, you were probably dreaming. I never found anything about that so I gave up thinking it was a dream. Now I know it is true! Thanks a lot man!

[@maryhodge1874]

[@JonHop1]

Thank god I live in Florida and havent been indoctrinated to have my crappy blue China mask with me 24/7. Here in Florida we had masks maybe for like 3 months, then after that the mask thing was dropped. I almost feel like the mask thing, in some cases, made things worse, as all people do is use their dirty hands to fiddle with the mask and constantly touch it, which puts germs all over it and when people breathe out they are just blowing more germs out into the air. Personally, as someone who travels for work, I did not see any real benefit to the masks... The "mask" states I visited like NYC and New Jersey had terrible Covid numbers and cases. While Florida had some bad numbers early on, their numbers were not different from places like New York and California with heavy mask mandates and actually drastically improved oddly as they got rid of masks. Who knows.. Im no doctor, but I dont think its hard to not wear a mask and just be sanitary and not spread germs.

[@emmettdonkeydoodle6230]

@@JonHop1 You are completely misattributing this as a causal phenomenon. NJ and NY why did not have worse cases because of masks (come on now... even you have to be aware that the mask mandates were not put in until after 2 months of COVID cases soaring there) and they certainly haven’t gotten better because of ease of restrictions. In fact, we know that all states that have eased off restrictions early have had spikes in cases, including Florida. NY and NJ have the most frequently visited international airports in the US. That is why there were the most cases in those areas. The masks I think are incredibly helpful, but only if you wear the right kind. A lot of people didn’t, so in this way they weren’t super effective, but it was much better than nothing and likely prevented many deaths. Although, if the US handled it in similar ways as Jordan, we may have prevented many more deaths. But if people are going to pretend being told to wear a mask is oppressive, I can only imagine what these nut jobs would do if they were told they had to stay inside their homes.

[@Toyon95]

Maybe hard to grow on a large scale?

[@ThePickleUpYourNose]

Need very specific growing climates and some of these plants but be invasive species on different continents, meaning they would have a bad time interacting with the wildlife elsewhere. Importing is expensive and not worth it when some fruits go for literally 5 cents, if not less in these countries. Also the fruits wouldn't really last. Large greenhouses are more so used for sustainable food and things like that. Private growers may have better luck though! A lot of people just dont know about them!

[@osdias]

It's not unusual for a single fruit species to have hundreds of varieties. Maybe even thousands for species cultivated by humans. Biodiversity is mind blowing. Sadly with industrialization of agriculture, lots of varieties go extinct as the amount of farmers and therefore selection and maintenance of certain varieties reduces.

You should try dacryodes edulis. It is a "plum" from west Africa. We have had some luck finding them frozen here in the US in grocery stores specializing in African foods. They are a very interesting fruit with only a thin layer of fruit around what is hands down one of the freakiest looking seeds you will EVER see. They look as strange or stranger when sprouting too. My mother has a USDA seed import license and has some of the trees she has grown from seed in her tropical greenhouse and has pics of them sprouting. They look terrifying!

The alcoholic beverage made from these (I believe it's called cachiri) is very tasty. I had it a long, long time ago but can't get it here.

I'll check around for some. Nice to find out about these. FYI.. Nutritional Value The pulpy interior of the Ice Cream bean is a good source of dietary fiber, polyphenols, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories. The seeds should not be consumed raw, but when roasted provide a rich source of protein.

This is ridiculous and brilliant and your cat has obviously been running illegal underground poker games in your absence. Well done, kitty- A++, would pet that feline entrepreneur. I found your channel quite some time ago and subscribed immediately because HOLY HELL, I'm not the only person who gets super excited about weird fruit. I definitely have to check out Eataly the next time I'm in the city, I'm local so I'm there often enough. I have a bunch of questions about traveling and fruit and how the two intersect- should I just list 'em here in the comments? I don't think they've been answered in previous Q+A videos, but I could be wrong! Thank you for the excellent fruit-based entertainment.

Yeah, she's the real reason how I can afford to travel. Sure thing, i try to respond to most comments on here. And cool! Eataly is amazing, also the stalls over at Mulberry and Canal in chinatown are pretty great.

I know of a big tree here in Western Australia! Of the 3rd pod you showed us ! Grows very well here! I had a few trees grown from seed , but died thru over watering !!! My plan is to go back to tree and collect more seeds and try again , very nice tasting fruit !

Had this fruit once years ago in the Peruvian jungle as a child (or a fruit similar to it). Thanks for showing it off!

The names of those fruits aren't Spanish. Their use as food, and their names pre-date Spanish colonialism.

Here in Costa Rica the second type are fairly common seasonally, they are called "gauba" here though . There are significant differences between varieties. The most common ones are fairly large up to about 2 feet long but not that great. There are smaller ones with a more square cross-section that I find far better. I wonder if I I could find the first kind you tried here in CR.

this one made me laugh. nice work man happy 200th vid. keep it up man.

[@WeirdExplorer]

So glad to hear it, thanks Bradley!

I want so badly to taste all the fruits you've tried, but so few of them are available in Denmark. The only thing I've gotten my hands on are durians, jackfruit, and the ripe tamarind, and mangosteen. This one, though, is at the absolute top of the list of fruits I need to try. Damn man, normal fruit seems so boring and plain after watching your channel.

We have one of these trees in our yard in NSW Australia :) The lorikeets tend to demolish them, they are sugar crazy.
