Taste Testing HYPER SEASONAL Fruit

I live in northern Norway just below the Arctic Circle, and the strawberries grown up here are considered the best in Norway. That is due to the 24 hours of daylight and relative low temperature during summer that makes them grow more slowly than the ones grown down south, allowing them more time to develop the flavours and aroma.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

What even is the ideal climate for strawberries? Because it doesn't even seem to matter. You can grow them in southern California, which is arid, France which is sort of Mediterranean, the American Northwest which I think is Oceanic, and now I just learned they grow in Norway, which is sub-Arctic. That's a vast array of wildly different climates for a fruit to grow. I mean, not that I'm complaining; strawberries are great, and it's nice that you can get them pretty much anywhere.

[@escmandy]

Norwegian strawberries are THE BEST! I've tried many varieties and hands down, I've never tasted a better strawberry than an in-season Norwegian one!

[@takirosh]

My favorite strawberries are grown in the Trøndelag region in Norway. But they are late season berries due to growing so slow. Just like the ones from North Norway.

[@escmandy]

@@takirosh I bought some straight from the strawberry fields around the Ålesund region, and they were just heavenly! I think it must have got something to do with the long summer days and the cooler temperatures.

[@thstorvik]

As a Norwegian my first thought when the french ones came on -🥱sure … typisk norsk å være god på jordbær si😂

In New Zealand we currently have red Kiwifruit in season. It tastes different to the regularly seen yellow and green varieties, it is SO GOOD, you definitely should try.

I would love that because I love the yellow and green ones! Doubt it will come to the US Midwest soon, though.

Aren’t Kiwis always in season in New Zealand? 😂😂😂

[@alexsis1778]

I love kiwi but didn't even know red was a thing. I first had yellow kiwi when my cousin brought me some from Australia about 10 years or so ago. In the last 5 years they've just become fairly available in super markets around here. Red kiwi sadly may still be a while away.

[@Snowshowslow]

That sounds really interesting!

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

I have never seen strawberries that were so evenly ripened, compared to the dross that you are offered in supermarkets these were spectacular.

[@stuckincollege1778]

True, I rarely eat strawberries in Australia because whenever I get them, they either look like they were taken from the compost or looked like a inverted pepper

[@poro9084]

yeah, lot of strawberries bought on supermarkets or outside of season are delivered, which means picked up before really fully ripening so they would survive travel - the best ones are during season

[@deawallach3404]

You always want to buy strawberries that are evenly coloured, they will have a better flavour than ones that aren't. You also want to look for types of strawberries that have short growing seasons, because they will have better flavour and colour than ones that have longer growing seasons. The ones that have long growing seasons are not as good because they are better for mass market as they travel extremely well.

[@zimeron1]

That's really interesting about the frost + root vegetable mechanism. Growing up farming, everyone knows that carrots and other root veggies should only be picked after the first frost because they're sweeter, but I didn't know why the plants converted the starches as a response. The sugars working as an anti-freezing agent in the vascular system makes a lot of sense.

[@ValeTam]

This was actually super educational! It also made me crave fresh fruit. Loved it you guys 😊

@@Aritul It’s almost like a large, round grape but the flavor is very distinctive. They get a little soft when ripe, so you’ll know they’re not ready if they’re hard and taste puckery-alkaline. Hope you get a chance to try them some day!

[@Notsosweetstevia]

These men simply can’t cut fruit properly. Between Jaime “avacadoing” his mango and Mike cutting all of the citrus through the stem end had me dying. It’s funny because the hand model got it right. 😂

[@sharonkunkle4715]

That’s why they’re the “normals”….it takes a special kind of man to know how to cut fruits.

[@melissalambert7615]

I can almost understand the mango but to not know how to cut citrus. Pitiful (sorry Mike).

[@rahulr1305]

No...It's not that the hand model got it right... It really depends on the application. If you want to eat it, you cut it like the normals did - from the stem end so you can easily make more sections...if you're gonna juice it, cut it like the hand model did, along the equator so that the sections don't block the juice from flowing properly. So while I agree Jamie should be thrown in prison for trying to avocado a mango, the normals actually cut the citrus correctly.

[@PetWessman]

@@melissalambert7615 Don't you mean 'pith-iful'? ;)

[@stuckincollege1778]

@@rahulr1305 I think it also depends on the area, because I have Asian parents, and they taught me to cut like the hand model. It's easier to get all the fruit because you an just spread it like a mango and the segments does the cutting for you, it's also the easier way if you are using it in a dish or as a snack. But this also depends on what citrus, since you mainly did this with thin peel or soft peels, but stuff like guava or harder peels then you do it the Sorted way

[@mandylawrence6209]

The qualities of the videos lately have been outstanding, from the views and aerial shots of the snowy mountains in the last videos, to that mango close up… absolutely stunning! Always been amazing but stepped up in a way I didn’t know I needed til now!

[@aly7515]

Those strawberries had me drooling omg 🤤 That giant lemon reminded me of one of my favourite citruses: pomelo! It's large and pithy like the giant lemon, but the flesh, when in season, is a lovely light sweetness with a touch of tart. It comes in white and pink flesh, and while I prefer pink, I'll happily eat both when the opportunity arises. If possible, I'd love to see you guys try it!

[@kristisudharsanaakaalex6828]

My absolute favourite fruit is jackfruit… when ripe (not too ripe, it still has to have this kind of firmness when you bite into it) and in season it has the most fragrant aroma and the most delicious taste🤤

[@MuriKakari]

But so expensive outside the countries it grows, unfortunately, since they tend to be sold by weight and you can't eat most of the jackfruit. If you boil the seeds, they take on the consistency of cooked fingerling potatoes with a slightly nutty flavor. So good. If your jackfruit isn't perfectly ripe, you can cook it like meat with butter in a curry or stirfry. Season it like it's meat, especially with allspice and it tastes pretty good that way too.

[@migrantt]

You do have to be careful as to who you serve it to, though. It's SUPER high in natural latex. So if you are or are serving it to someone with either a latex sensitivity or allergies, jackfruit is a real problem. Even the fumes (aroma) emanating from the fruit when ripe can send someone into anaphylaxis. (Makes it problematic when you realize that soooo many vegan dishes use jackfruit as a meat substitute because of it's texture)

[@MuriKakari]

​@@migrantt Ooh, yeah. Thanks for the reminder. It's super important and lots of people (me included) don't think of secondary allergens like that as a possiblity. And I'm sure a lot of people with latex allergies aren't used to thinking of it as something they have to watch out for in foods.

“Over-sized and virtually juiceless…sounds like Ebbers” made me spit my drink laughing 😂🤣😂

The first time I ever tasted a mango was at my grandmother’s house when she lived in St. Lucia. It was perfection, and spoiled me for all other mangos. Fresh is best, no question! And on a more local note, fresh Michigan cherries are a treat I look forward to every summer here. 😋

[@marye.7027]

Have you ever done a German Spargel episode? It is the White Asparagus from this time of year, and it is treated like the official start of Spring in Germany. Absolutely Delicious.

[@sirBrouwer]

in the Netherlands we refer to them as the ''white gold''. I love them with a butter sauce, ham and potatoes. i do have to wait a bit often a bit later in april when the bulk is in store they are better priced.

[@lauramarschmallow2922]

oh man, I love Spargelzeit! 😍

[@matearabar5821]

It's also asparagus time in Croatia, but it's totally different in flavour. While the white asparagus I had in Germany were pretty mild, the wild asparagus that's picked around here is green, thin, woody and really bitter. I actually like them only in some dishes, but apparently they are good for the helath

[@sirBrouwer]

@@matearabar5821 the green is what you get if you don't cover them up. the white asparagus is just the same plant only while in the later stage of growing you cover the soil in dark plastic.

[@matearabar5821]

@@sirBrouwer yeah I know about that, but asparagus growing in the wild is different from the green asparagus available in stores too. So it's the same plant but it's still kinda different when you cook with it

[@cisquo]

Jamie's mind would blow to know there's a Blood orange KitKat variety and it is delicious!

[@vonUtz]

I tried them all; I live in Italy, we're full of fruits and vegetables that grow only in certain places and conditions. I mean, just only the truffle, the Cardo gobbo (humpack Thistle) of Monferrato, the white Asparagus of Bassano del Grappa... the Muffito a kind of Wine that can be made only if a special mold grows on the grapes while they mature; the peaches of Volpedo, the hazelnuts of Alba (used for Nutella), uh! A really special one is the Sa Pompia (citrus monstruosa), only a few trees still remain in Sardinia, makes lemon like fruits as big as a soccer ball, so bitter that are impossible to eat fresh, but candied are a delicacy

In Canada, we also have cloudberries. Significantly more difficult to cultivate than saskatoons. In fact, most cloudberries are wild foraged because they grow best in bogs/tundra. Fresh cloudberries are such a treat.

Not a fruit, but here in Germany asparagus season just started. Over here, white asparagus is the most popular. It is usually served with potatoes, prosciutto-style ham and Hollandaise. The season lasts roughly from Easter to late June and during this time little huts pop up on street corners, where all you can buy is asparagus and occasionally seasonal fruit like strawberries.

In the US we have an herbal plant called bergamot (scientific name is Monarda). It is in the same plant family as basil and mint. It is often described as being used in Earl Gray tea...

Janice has really up'd her 💅 game lately. ❤😭

Feijoa from Aotearoa, were in their season now. The texture always surprises people that haven't tried them but the flavour is so yum and unique. Feijoa sour lollies are awesome too

[@veridico84]

Haven't finished the episode as yet. But sapphire grapes or moon drop grapes in season are absolutely phenomenal. We only have queen pineapples here, in South Africa, and they are amazing when in season. Wait, they didn't say bergamot was in earl grey tea? Oh they did, but they didn't know. My gran had those lemons growing in her garden, they were very very lemony. You could smell that part of the garden.

Love you guys; this'll be the first video in over a year that I'm not going to finish. You just told us what fruit tastes like.

[@chris_is_here_oh_no]

Excellent video, great information!

I'm with Mike on the "if you like chocolate orange, you should be sectioned" lmao.

Don’t hold back Mike 😂

Made some salsa with Peruvian Mango a couple nights ago, used it with multiple dishes like Moroccan lamb chops+ butter mushrooms, and in with some nachos 😋❤

I don't know why but those shots of citrus fruits getting squished over a cutting board made me unreasonably mad 😅

[@mokko759]

Because the juice was being wasted. That's why.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

LOL, me too! Even here in Southern California fruit is so expensive, watching all that luscious luxury fruit going to waste was a crime!

[@robopecha]

i felt the same. angry about the waste and also kind of disgusted because those long finger nails seemed so unhygienic.

[@KhronicD]

@@robopecha Kush spent hours getting his nails done for those glamour shots! Jokes aside, do you never wash your hands? Why would you assume no one else does?

[@bcaye]

​@@KhronicD, because washing your hands is not good enough to keep long nails clean and with polish on you can't even be sure you clean under them properly.
