Mexican Dads Try The CRAZIEST Fruits For The FIRST Time!

We had our dads try exotic fruits from all over the world! From passion fruit, mamey, soursop, dragonfruit, goldenberry, to others like durian, starfruit longan, and jackfruit.

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❤

[@mohdrizaljaafar8842]

true hardcore durian lover will seek durian mawar,durian terong or durian jantong..bitter better

[@kiwoxgen9929]

That's quite impossible thing to do, majority of imported fruit were unripe, and by using ship, gonna take months to reach the destination And imported it by airplane also impossible, cuz it's banned in airport 😏 The most logical thing to do is visit the country that harvest the durian But of course the main course of this channel is not travel vlog, that's why i said it's impossible 😗

[@misot90]

We used to have a jackfruit tree a few meters outside our living room. Whenever the fruit gets ripe, it gets insanely fragrant and would make our living room smell so good. We would eat about half of the fruit as is, and cook the rest into a jackfruit jam. Jackfruit jam tastes so good when paired with either some toast or some rice cakes.

[@iAmDislikingEveryShort]

You'll hate the fully ripened jackfruit. It becomes slimy pungent and a fermented taste.

[@sarahalvizo414]

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

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.

[@Maria-1973]

You guys should try the yellow dragon fruit is very sweet, and the mangosteen and the rambutan fruit is delicious and also the rose water apples as well.

mangosteen is sooo good

The mamey was underripe

[@rudydiego3084]

Mamey is more red than orange when it’s ripe, this one wasn’t even close to being ready. Ripe mamey is 🔥

[@KathyXie]

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

[@arianadiaz9269]

Alguien más le llama zapote al “mamey” jajajaja el Mamey es diferente en El Salvador

[@mammie19621962]

I tasted the Star Fruit in Guam. But they called it Star Apple! 😊😊😊😊

[@OnePunchCat]

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

[@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.

[@apolloskue]

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

[@gergc36]

Came here to say the same thing! That’s no guanabana!

[@meicruz98]

Isn't that a custard apple? It doesn't look like soursop, soursop is kind of stringy, kind of like cook jackfruit.

[@caseyrogers573]

Donato looks like my abuelo

[@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

[@jessicaal415]

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.

[@riyankusuma8204]

I usually make a warm drink from tailings fruit that has been peeled and cut into pieces, then pour it into a glass with warm water and drink it. It tastes very refreshing, delicious and warm

[@traciechakraborty3829]

Arturo's right! Golden berries & tomatillos are both types of gooseberries. So it makes sense they'd taste similar

[@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.

[@elizabethh4786]

I really wonder what they do for work since they are typical Mexican dads but speak English very well

[@MarisolTrejo-vi4do]

I love to watch them while I eat

[@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.

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

[@gayrambo4529]

[@sycofya1677]

[@kimkimsan]

It's funny when the dad said to add taijin to the star fruit because that's exactly how I like to eat it too! lol

[@thanosal-titan]

You should have had Mangosteen in this video, the Queen of Fruit

[@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. :)

[@shauniebaby7290]

Donato is def giving NY vibes 😅

[@jameskatu6339]

I like the new Latin Dad he’s got good energy he’s enthusiastic

[@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.

[@elliey7162]

In chinese, longan means dragon's eye. (maybe, dragon with a cataract)

[@TheMoranga]

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

[@GlobalAdventurer]

I haven't tried any of these. I see them in some of the countries I visit but have never been brave enough to try them!😁

[@evandros.a5049]

The passion fruit is different from Brazil. It is big and yellow here. We have Sour sop, star fruit and jack fruit. My region star fruit and jack fruit are found in everywhere in rural area. My dad loves jack fruit. Here, there are some exotics fruits that I've never tried like açai or, pequi por example.

[@ramonas.3396]

Please do Mexican dads rank Hispanic musicians

[@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..

[@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.

[@catcute6211]

[@Y94SACat]

there's only Jack Fruit (Nangka), Star Fruit (Bemimbing) & Dragon Fruit (Buah Naga) but there's no Hairy Fruit (Rambutan), Snake Fruit (Salak) also Mangosteen (Manggis) hehe 😸

[@mindoongie]

dragon fruit is SO GOOD! i want some now, dang.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Dragón fruit is My favorite 😋😋😋😋🐉🐉🐉🐉

[@vcwloves9864]

Lemon and tajin make everything better!!!

[@selenacleveland1719]

Mamey is SO good! We make mamey shakes with vanilla bean ice cream and milk and garnished with ground cinnamon. You can control how much mamey goes in and how "strong" the shake is. They tend to give you "watered-down" shakes in my area that have the thought of mamey but seems like not the actual fruit lol. Better just to make it at home! (Of course that's because mamey is readily available in-store in my area.) I'm only sad that they gave them a mamey that didn't look fully ripe. Maybe it's just preference, but I like them when it's very ripe and soft and bright-almost-neon orange. It's so much sweeter that way!

[@QuiiKxCrisis]

Where is the dad with the glasses ???????? He is so cool

It's interesting to see these fruits labeled as "exgotic" because they're growing in out yards here in Guyana 🇬🇾 Loved this episode🫶🏼

Golden berry aka ground cherries

[@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

[@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.

[@emochina]

awe. Wish they wouldve tried mangosteen

[@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! 🇯🇲

[@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.
