Did you know that there are avocados without seeds? I Reviewed one in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6CTe6ujpKp2bKM

[@hozoraelahy6102]

Why u didn't show TSS of the avocado? From the Bangladesh 🇧🇩.(usually it's against of ur quality!)

[@marthasimons7940]

I used to have an avocado like this in my yard until a hurricane took it out. It was a variety called Wilson. It was good. My neighbor loved it and would ask of I had any of those snake avocados. I’d love to get another.

[@PowerTom286]

Hi Jared. I also use the Papaya seeds as Papaya pepper. I wash them to get rid of the orange pulp, using tweezers too. Then I dry then thoroughly and use them like whole pepper in a second pepper mill for a decent spicy and fruity flavor. This way you can store them for long! Tom

[@kvn12pal]

Have you have the round avocado from Jamaica. They are as big as breadfruit.

[@cooklikesasha]

Try purple skin avocado next time!

If it wasn't for Jared, I would never know about 95% of other fruits. And I wouldn't know about Miami Fruits where I can buy some of the fruits he eats. I'm sure it would be more expensive through ordering and shipping but, I don't have to go anywhere, and...it's my gift to me!!😆 PS. Seen your videos for years, but, I am embarrassed that I just happened by accident to find out.... you're a Contortionist!!! Those videos are fun to watch! The sword swallowing, nervous to watch. Fun question: Soo, have you let your cat smell durian, was wondering if he runs away or gags? 😂

[@u3u36]

When you have these "Florida" Avocados you should blend them with condensed milk, a little bit of water till they get creamy but not super dense. Then put them to freeze. It's a common dessert in Brazil (where we only eat avocados as fruits/sweets)

[@gioandres205]

My favorite avocado! I grew up eating these smeared on pan sobao (sweet bread) and salt, my grandmother´s tree produces some really enormous ones and one would feed 3 or 4 people. I think the biggest we ever measured was 16 inches long. The super smooth skin avocado is the Antillean avocado, honestly it´s very underrated and more flavorful than the hass when grown correctly.

[@jeffdubuque3755]

cool info i learn alot about differnt fruits on here, we don`t have these cool fruits here in Canada.

[@ci6742]

Avocados that are not green skinned are the weird ones where I'm from. (Puerto Rico) These long necked ones are actually quite common here and very popular.

[@oscard.lisboa6105]

Everytime he talks about the hass being the base avocado, I think of this, also kinda cringe when he calls them florida avocados

[@NecroBanana]

The first avocado you had was "agüao" which means watered down. When they're like that they're still slightly unripe.

[@chrisbuckley1785]

My mom once called me and told me she bought me a "mango". LoL. She brought it over and it was the biggest sticking avocado I've ever seen. It was like the size of a 2 liter bottle of soda. 😂😂. I ate it. Well what I could and it was alright. I remember thinking it would've made really good chunky guacamole.

[@user-hl6ls8sv4t]

They do make great chunky avocado. Just not a buttery one more like a very refreshing version of guac

[@rico3726]

that recipe reminded of something i eat using the big green avocados that we have here in brazil. chopped up banana, papaya, avocado with granola !! your recipe with the chilli and mango and lime and coconut must be so good...

As a Californian who grew up with exclusively Hass avocados and was never really wild about them, I was in love the first time I had a Florida avocado! It actually tastes like a fruit! It was juicy and a little sweet. Sooo good! I’m still trying to get myself a good FL variety to grow here. I would absolutely eat those way more if I had them. I’m not a fan of the “mouthful of fat” thing that Hass has going on. In the right place it’s good, but I wish we had more avo options here!

[@marialiyubman]

My first taste of avocado felt like biting into a stick of butter. 😂 and I don’t mean the deep-fried American butter version. lol. Avocados are such adults… they sit and wait for us to be ready for them.. 😭

[@Eternalsunshinejewelry]

Oh my gosh theres a sweet avacado?? I need to try this I dont like the Hass ones

[@mrminer071166]

Fierce partison of the fermented-bacon-fat taste of a GOOD HASS. The soft, sweet, fruity, juicy, avocados are not for me. AVOCADO TOAST FOR LIFE!!!

[@PapaCharlie9]

Chili pepper pairs really well with avocado and papaya and mango, as does lime juice and mint. Genius recipe, I'll have to try it out. You've got sweet, salty, sour and bitter in the flavor profile. It's just missing umami. Throw in some tomatoes maybe?

[@maobfh]

Yum! Used to make something like this for husband. He would have loved the way you make it with a bite of chile and some tart. His preferences were a LOT like yours. Sweet, for the most part he could take or leave. Except a fruit pie. His favorite (in his limited experience and travel) was a TART cherry pie. He traveled in Western Europe in the Navy but did not have any experience really with any other countries except a brief visit to Puerto Rico. All he tested there was the alcohol. But he liked things hotter than I do and I am a New Mexican born and bred who thinks a spoon or handful of hatch green chile is good on almost everything. But I NEVER considered it in a fruit salad. Or avocado. Ah well, it’s not the end of the world,just one of those DAMN I wish I gave him fruit salads like THAT. Every single thing you added. The papaya seed for a bite of pepper, the tartness, everything. Great video and thank you for the long neck review.

[@n.rlanos1093]

This sounds more delicious than a usual avocado. I love the fruity flavour 😋

[@lolahassan4443]

Thanks for doing this one. I've been curious about the long neck avocado for a while. (Now I know the expensive trees I'm looking at on line are worth it.) My favorite avocado recipe is 'Avocado on the Half Shell' Cut it in half, remove seed, sprinkle avocado with salt & pepper and then grab your spoon. Yum!

[@JTMusicbox]

Very cool! That giant teardrop shaped seed was as much of a surprise as the long neck of the fruit.

[@dew7555]

You should save your Papaya seeds! Throw them on a baking tray and dry them out in a low oven, then you can toss them in a pepper grinder for peppercorns with lots of antioxidants.

[@petrolak]

They don't really taste like black pepper though. More like garden cress or radish sort of nasal sharpness.

[@josempadilla9761]

Taste like mustard,papaya seeds is use raw for cleans intestine.

[@DeathMetalDerf]

I'm almost 100% positive that he's actually done this one before. I can't remember if there was something special about the papaya seeds he used in the video, maybe it was a specific kind of papaya or something, but I definitely remember him doing that once before.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Here's my video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6amo4GMmsx4l7M

[@WeirdExplorer]

I don't usually save them, since I like black pepper more, but I'll use a bit fresh whenever I cut open a papaya

[@foreseengust]

I love Florida avocados, I wish they weren't 5 times the price of Hass here. That salad looks delicious!

[@joeduke8239]

I was just eating an avacado just like this yesterday! I live in The Dominican Republic.

[@aesaidauroria3458]

Californian here! There are quite a few varieties of green-skinned avos here, my favorite being the Zutano. For green skinned avocados, you do generally wait longer to ripen. Some types can be all brown/black and squishy one the outside when fully ripe, what you would normally expect to be overripe/going bad as a Hass.

[@MoonFlowerCreations]

The recipe at the end looks so good! Thanks for sharing. 🥭🥑🥥🌶

I will add Florida Avocado is my FAVORITE style of avacado...its light and creamy and when put in the fridge its amazing

[@Magmafrost13]

I've never had a green skin avocado, but I just found out that I _have_ seen them here before, a few years ago at a farmers market. At the time I just thought "oh my god that avocado is enormous" and then moved on. I should've bought one 😭 I zoomed in on the label on the photo I took of it and, yep, "green skin avocado". I was even at that market to try new fruit😭

[@jamestboehm6450]

Now that looks really good. I'd sit down and give it a go.

[@dizzle6709]

so my moms coworker grows these. this season has been very short. Last season he gave us at least 8 of these. We were all so STUNNED as to what these were.. Like you said it was basically a funky florida avacado aka my favorite. This season he had FOUR. So he was not able to share any of his cados.... SO its basically funky regular florida avacado... Just weird in shape but exact same in flavor.

[@PaulTMaack0]

That fruit salad looked amazing, but I'd make a few minor adjustments: Ripe pepper, and freshly shaved and toasted coconut. I've never been a fan of the pre-shredded stuff. I'll have to give the papaya seed thing a try though! I never knew that you could eat the seeds.

[@iforgotmyusername11]

[@avocado_japan]

I grow avocados in Japan (Okinawa). We grow many kinds. West Indies varieties are sweet and delicious, aren't they? Please come to Okinawa! I will guide you!

[@markiangooley]

I’ve never seen a long neck before. Here in Florida the green avocados are despised by many people but they’re seasonally very cheap and I think they’re fine. Many people will accept nothing but Haas.

[@iforgotmyusername11]

Haha elitism everywhere, each and every avocado is lovely in my opinion

[@sdfkjgh]

@@iforgotmyusername11: I find that especially ironic, as Haas are at the bottom in terms of quality and complexity of flavors. I used to get these huge ass avocados that had thick, shiny, hunter green skin that was almost completely smooth & unblemished and peeled away easily, and really sweet & creamy flesh. I think they were from EL Salvador. I'd read that SE Asian countries use avocado as a dessert, and until I'd tasted these, I couldn't understand why. 8:09 That looks like one of the ones I'm talking about, the big, bright green one.

Hispanic? Aguacate is its name in most hispanic countries, lol, also pretty sure mexicans have these viareties aswell, they're common in the Caribbean, and I think central America, so its not like he "discovered" this

[@jasonsummit1885]

I've been eating a lot of avocados since I got parosmia, that fruit salad that you made looks awesome.👍

[@oakstrong1]

I have never seen anything but grew skin avocados in the UK or SE Asia. This long neck avocado is grown in Cambodia and they call it (translated) 'butter fruit', which they eat with butter or sometimes in milk shakes.

[@davidbenner2289]

It is something I will eat often.

[@emilieloveskiwi]

"I don't know what kind of mango this is." Never thought I'd hear those words leave your mouth. Lol

[@klaxxor]

How do you select a papaya so it doesn't taste like vomit? I've had some bad luck with those things :(

[@Kelly-ml5tl]

Yes, and also a durian that doesn't taste like vomited socks.

[@h.n.vangarde1597]

What I noticed made a difference is having Papaya chilled and not eating the white parts. It actually tasted good/refreshing at least no bitter after taste. Dried papaya I prefer though.

[@bestgroomerever5342]

Papaya with the most yellow on the skin is the ripest we eat ours with fresh lime juice on it

[@nalon__]

Get ones that aren't too ripe yet, should be firm even if you push down on it. Will be a bit firmer in texture when eaten, but won't have as strong a taste of vomit.

[@aliencat11]

I can see adding chili pepper to a fruit salad. I think that would work very well with a variety of fruit. And your fruitarian episode came up in my feed a few days ago. That was interesting, but I know I couldn't have survived on that, even though I'm a vegetarian as well. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them a lot!

[@Myriako]

Thank you for this video! 😀🌸

[@mostlycusimbored]

I have one of these in my backyard! Look forward to eat em each summer

[@mandab.3180]

never been a huge fan of avocado but that one is pretty cool. 🥑

[@Verlisify]

Weird. I thought that first Avocado was overripe since that seed looked like it was germinating with the long stem growing through it and the outside of the seed breaking down

[@chubbygardengnome]

In all seriousness though, that mix looks delicious but the texture looks horrendous....I'd need something crispy to offset the mush...maybe like an apple chip and treat it like a chunky dip? I'm not sure what would work best

[@amberpalmer444]

Ok good, Amazon does sell them. Kind of expensive though. But apparently these are also a cold hardy variety.

[@injunsun]

@Weird Explorer, my 2 cents. I prefer the Haas, but too many people treat it like the green skinned. It should be almost black, and I let it get super ripe. My sister in law said she throws away those that get to where I like them, because she thinks if they aren't yellow-green and a little firm, they must be rotten. NO! Haas are at their most flavourful and buttery at this point. It there isna touch of mold at the stem attachment, just scoop that away. Dark spots within the flesh are perfectly fine and normal! If you wait that long, or buy the seconds at your grocery, you will have the best guacamole you've ever had. Personal note: I just don't like the Florida kind, because I never acquired a taste for a combo of fruity and fatty. I wish (as a Vegan) that I liked more actual fruits, and enjoyed more of them raw, but I simply don't, and those I do, I want cooked. For example, applesauce, versus raw apples (which hurt my gums); marmalade, versus raw oranges; etc.. As for the "garbage bowl," that's just dumb. I compost, as opposed to what Grandma did. She she just threw her scraps from a bowl atop her garden rows, and let it rot in the sun. I have what I call my "slop bucket," an old, black plastic pot some tree or bush came in decades ago, into which I line with dried leaves from my arbor. I drop all kitchen scraps into it, as well as the shit from our dog's pad, and when it's full, onto the building compost pile it goes, topped with a fresh layer of leaves or cut grass, and an oversprinkling of compost from the other pile. When I get to the bottom of the other pile, what's there is fully ready for the garden, and I start over, adding to it, topping it with leaves and the top of the first pile. No equipment to buy, but for a pitchfork and shovel. I hope this technique helps someone. Be well.

[@kronop8884]

Even though Brazilians are not really big on Avocado and you typically get other green varieties than Hass I learned when I lived there that some are good on the barbecue with salt while others makes excellent ice cream (of sorts) mixed with sugar and lime juice

[@paulban889]

Finally an avocado without confidence issues.

[@TG-su8fd]

that avocado single handedly made all the guys jealous

[@Elmnt5]

Love the videos!!! And I made that salad- delish!!!! I just don’t like those Champaign mangoes( not sure why they are called that) they are just too sour! We moved from NY to FL and growing few of what was to us “exotic” fruits.. 😊

[@Youngstomata]

I wish these were the norm of avacados. You get so much more value with still only one big seed

[@oscard.lisboa6105]

In latin america they are, I think the problem is they dont store well

[@marialiyubman]

I know nothing about MiamiFruit except when they send you cool stuff, but I’m so happy that people grow their own organic fruit that it just warms my heart. ❤️ My green thumb is gangrene only, since I’ve managed to brutally murder a lot of plants and never grew one, but it’s more reason to be in complete awe of anyone who grows any plant, especially food - start to finish. BTW, I did try your suggestion of papaya seeds back in the day, it’s… it was.. a fun learning experience, but I don’t see people using it as pepper anytime soon. But I LOVE learning from you. and Rachel Rae sucks… Omg. I remember her show from back in the day, it consisted of her using chicken stock and beef stock in everything and hating mayonnaise.. this lady was never my cup of tea.. she is everything the America housewife shouldn’t be. I prefer Martha Stewart, because she talks about food quality on her show. I love organic fruit straight from the trees, the difference is not from x-species avocado it grew from, I wish we were lucky enough to tell the difference between species, but from the fact that it just came straight off the tree and it’s just that fresh. I hope especially more Americans (and fellow Israelis) would learn that and start supporting more private and organic agriculture. As a cancer patient I learned that the hard way. Please pray for me. I need it.

By the way I tried papaya a third time and now I enjoy them so I decided to grow some seeds of it. The seeds taste similar to both pepper and kind of like poison or chemicals. I didn't like the seeds so I spit them out. The seeds I found out they're edible. But man the seeds are terrible. 😔 Fruit itself is good though. I'm glad I gave it another try.
