Funny that some of these fruits are exotic to them while I grew up eating most of them. These are some things you don't really think about or appreciate as much because you just take it for granted... Great video!

😂😂😂 *YALL DID THEM DIRTY WITH THAT UNRIPE MAMEY/SAPOCHE. THEY ARE BOMB SMOOTHIES!*

[@sarahalvizo414]

Exactly my thoughts. Mamey is delicious, almost as soft as papaya. If it wasn't sweet or soft, it wasn't ripe.

[@dolan-duk]

Durian is almost always misrepresented in videos outside of Southeast Asia because of the use of crappy frozen stuff that is underripe and of unknown variety. Get some proper durian instead, maybe a "cat mountain king" or "D24" one. The Jackfruit looks underripe as well, it should have a slightly chewy texture and definitely not "like an apple".

[@MrSegiSaurus]

Black thorn and Musang king durian varieties are good too. You're right, Jack fruit should be chewy, floral scented and very sweet taste❤

[@prelawpdub2726]

Donato has plenty of good things to say. I’m impressed.

I’m Central American countries (El Salvador) el Mamey is also Zapote! Fun fact: the seed of the Zapote can be used to extract its oils and is said to help with hair growth. I’ve always wanted to love Dragon fruit but it just doesn’t grow on me.

[@BeautifulBushcraft]

This was my favorite episode yet!

[@eajinx737]

Yeah, mamey is very good in smoothies. With a hint of vanilla scent! :V By the way, if someone comes to you saying that they know how to pick a ripe mamey... They're lying! :V Jackfruit? "yaca" in México. It's really good, but definitely ood looking fruit XD As Don Donato says, "pitahaya" is the name we give in México to the dragon fruit. Icecream made with it is just crazy... Hey, hey, hey, that "carambolo" (starfruit) isn't ripe yet XD You need to let them to turn a little brownish on the edges. Fresh water made with it it's on a whole new level. My mom maks atole with it :3 Guanaba (soursop) have a taste very good but hard to describe, really need to taste it yourself. If you ever come to Puebla city, try some fresh made sodas (refresco, as we say) with that flavor in a small bussiness named "Refresqueria Carmen" in Calle 2 Nte 611. And, as the passion fruit, the soda made with it was "sensao" by the Coca Cola Co. You can still find them in México city, at least in the Centro Histórico. Saludos desde Puebla.

[@MacieRivera]

Jackfruit is good shredded up and cooked with barbecue sauce. It is like pulled pork.

[@Chamomileable]

We have soursop here in the US. On the east coast we call them pawpaw fruit. They only stay ripe for a super short time before spoiling so it's a big deal to get a nice bushel of them. The taste is so sweet and delicious and the texture is like pudding. It's like a banana and a mango had a baby. So good.

[@davidchavez9036]

The "golden berry" is a ground cherry. And it's in the nightshade family. So it is related to tomatillos and tomatoes. Those weren't fully ripe. There really sweet and not tart at all when there fully ripe. Those husk were greenish and not fully brown

[@AtriseOW]

The new guy is funny.

[@KathyXie]

I think the last one is cherimoya, soursop is bigger, more spikey and less sweet.

[@vcwloves9864]

Lemon and tajin make everything better!!!

[@Nevario1]

Those passionfruit were not ripe enough, lol. They have to be slightly mottled, almost like a hammered metal texture. Jackfruit is an amazing fruit, the seed pods are really sweet, like candy and you can use the cooked white 'flesh' as a substitute for chicken or meat in general in a dish. That's probably what he is talking about when his wife cooks it. :)

12:38 I agree. Soursop has such a unique flavor. In juice, it hits you like whoah! What is this? And in a good way, refreshing, one of a kind. In a fruit, eaten fresh, it’s delicious. And it’s healthy ah. I wish soursop is more accessible here in the US because it has so much health benefits.

[@OnePunchCat]

Have you ever tried mangosteen? it is at the same level as soursop or maybe higher. it's very delicious.

[@sciencetingss]

Passionfruit: Straight from the pod is yummy, especially with sugar. We had a tree/vine in our yard, lots of passionfruit drinks on Sunday. Big up my fave, jackfruit! 🇯🇲

[@sciencetingss]

A majority of these fruits grow well in Jamaica, tropical fruits will tropic l O l

[@willvr4]

If you think Durian smells when it's already been cut up and sitting a bit, you should smell it when first cut it open! It's banned in many public places even in Asia.

[@DatDudeVince_]

I like how there are about 7 people saying "first" when they were 12th.

[@rjhemedes]

With the exception of jackfruit which is native to Asia, most of the fruits are either native to Mexico and Central & South America and sold in markets in Mexico.

[@puppyp9299]

Gotta love how they compare a lot of the fruits with an apple texture, lol. StartFruit or the jackfruit isnt close to an apple texture..

[@gardeniacastillo]

Omg professor Donato!!!

[@atelangs]

These Papahs! comparing everything to apples and bananas 😂

[@apolloskue]

The last fruit is not a soursop. It’s a cherimoya!

[@fv6125]

You showed a picture of a soursop but you gave them a cherimoya. Same family, different species. Soursop has a different textture, and it's sweeter, therefor more delicious. In fact it is one of my favorite fruit here in the Philippines. We call it guyabano here.

[@masoudahmad4348]

If you blender the dragon fruit mix it with soda water it tast freaking amaziiiing

[@emochina]

awe. Wish they wouldve tried mangosteen

[@twomatoesuwu]

cold durian would be good with people who new to durian

[@thunderconcerto9807]

Some of them can be found easily in my area that I didn't know they are exotic😅. As for durian...you either love it or want to throw it dow a garbage😅.

[@masoudahmad4348]

Advice from Indonesia, if you are a durian and you don't like the lingering taste and smell on your hand ,use the husk.like a bowl, add water to it then clean your hand with the water, and use that husk as drinking bowl as well, it Will get rid of the smell and the lingering taste from your mouth plus if you developed a taste for it be ware,to much Will make you drunk, use the husk method,it work well and never eat durian on a empty Belly In my country, in some profince, they eat the soft part of the husk, and the seed, some time they boil it or throw it in a fire and they eat the inside part Same goes with the Jack frui seed, as for the flesh, when ITS ripe we eat it as is, but when ITS not ripe we like to make chips or cook it in a stew and it taste great

[@sylviayoung1901]

Gracias' Séniors! Muy bueno. I love the Dragon fruit with honey and tajin, mmm! It also has one that has a red fruit but for some reason I can't find it here. It's much better, dulce. Also, the Sweet Sop, I know it by Cherimoya. They are my favorite! I can't find it here anymore. Muy triste. Maybe you could send me some! ¿¡Si!? Muchos gracias for this one as it helps me know the flavors. Unfortunately, here in Nuevo Mexico we have little selection of unique foods. Lots of green and red chile! The best in the world. The only is from here. Maybe we could trade some foods, no!? Ah, I found out soursop and cherimoya are different! Que tengas un buen dia amable caballero!

[@dastan0r429]

WTF imma type in spanish rn.- Ninguna es exótica todas son normales aqui en Veracruz, y al Maracuyá o fruta de la pasión es súper normal sólo que ha subido mucho su precio. El Mamey se hace en licuado con leche y azúcar. No se llama Durian acá, se llama Mante, huele feo pero sabe rico. No es longan es Litche y normalmente se deben de comer súper fríos. Jackfruit, es Yaka o Llaca. --, Dragon Fruit es Pitaya, de lo más común pero gracias a las redes sociales se volvió algo caro, era de lo más barato antes. Star fruit se llama Carambola y Carambolo es el árbol, es muy ácida y agria cuando esta verde, debe comerse fría o en agua de sabor con mucha azúcar, buenísima cuando hace calor. Soursop es Guanábana, buenísima en agua de sabor, o solita bien fría. Y ya que estaban probando frutas oriundas de Veracruz les faltó el Jobo, la Anona, Durazno Verde y Ciruela gigante por decir algunos.

[@mariagomez3297]

Esta ácida el marscuya pero luego es dulce y fresco me gusta mucho

[@johngeo5816]

new papah gives me like cartel boss vibes

[@yvonne3582]

It’s so weird that some of these fruits are from the Americas and still considered exotic. First, the mamey was under ripe and that’s why it was starchy rather than sweet. The golden berries are exactly like a sweet and tart tomato because they’re both from the nightshade family. The pitaya, dragon fruit has a more mild floral flavor rather than a traditional sweet fruity taste. And the last was not a guanabana, it’s a chirimoya. A chirimoya has a smoother skin and a sweeter custard like pulp inside, versus the guanabana that has a more bittersweet taste and spiky skin outside. My family is Mexican but I was born in the US, so we’re very familiar with those four fruits.

[@TheMoranga]

the last one looks more like a "chirimoya"...the guanabana is bigger

[@cleancutguy1892]

Durian is only good when you have it fresh. The best ones are from Malaysia. The ones in the US are probably frozen.
