Tampoi (Baccaurea macrocarpa) - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep. 148

[@raggedyanarchist]

Oh no! I saw these in the Asian supermarket just yesterday and wussed out and bought fancy oranges instead because I thought these tasted like dirt! Oh well... they ARE really good oranges.

[@zaasasdadad]

The white ones are the cultivars that are grown in orchards and gardens. The yellow ones are wild ones, mostly growing in deep forest. I've tasted both and I like them, has that mild sour and sweet taste to it. Can't eat too much or else you'll get stomach ache. Source: Both a Borneon and Forester.

Ok that clears up my question from the last episode

[@aaronisaac329]

I was surprise to see a segment about Tampoi here hihi, your pronounciation is funny

[@hassanmusa6375]

In Malaysia, tall big tree, d texture n thickness more like 'Duku', inside resembles another Malaysian fruit called 'Rambai', both fruits are rare and not popular.

[@zeo7085]

One of my favorite fruit❤

[@JJBoudreau]

I’m wondering how much cold these trees can handle in winter?

[@cerverg]

🤣 Cold ? What are you talking about? They'd probably be totally toasted by +10C (+50F). Where they grow it never drops lower than +20C ( +70F). I tried growing a Rambai which is somewhat similar and it was severely damaged by +12C

[@AzureKite191]

[@WeirdExplorer]

Yes! just search "weird mamey" and it will come up

[@nikoshkon5059]

in Bangladesh we call this fruit. Name: Lotkol.

[@neptuniumforest]

when i first tried mangosteen I said it tastes like candy... its very simple not a very unique taste.. just very sweet and simple tasting

[@WeirdExplorer]

Thats what I say in this video. I say that the tampoi tastes like a mangosteen , but more complex.

[@Derukugi2]

Why dont you just carry a small pocket knife? All the time I hear "I dont have a knife"

[@WeirdExplorer]

I am constantly going on planes when I travel and don't check bags. I buy several knives every time I take a trip because I have to keep ditching them before boarding. For short stays/layovers, like this one, I don't bother.

[@Derukugi2]

Jared Rydelek Ah OK that makes sense. Stupid safety rules... as if jihadis would not find a way around that. So is it not possible to take one of those plastic knifes from the in-flight menu? That would still be better than finger nails.

[@blackopsmerc88]

I watch all these weird fruit review videos of yours. they are very cool. the only thing that bothers me is your fingernails. they are so long and gross! is that an Asian thing? or are fingernail clippers just hard to find there?

[@WeirdExplorer]

I'm growing them out so its easier to climb trees

[@Psilomuscimol]

Weird Explorer man don't worry. Your fingernails are fine
