Yessssss

[@jcman-lp6lg]

I think there are some sites that does a exotic fruits box.

[@cpprclrd8790]

@@Richtruth_ do you have any cheaper options. Those fruit, vegetables, etc is quite expensive 😅

[@RedChaosScrungle]

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here watching this while eating some tiny clementines, it's the equivalent of watching Gordon Ramsay while eating Mcdonalds.

[@mylo5641]

when i eat mango it just disables my taste buds and i cant feel anything on the top layer of my tongue. ive heard they are sweet but ill probably never really get to taste one. (mango candy does not disable my taste buds but its probably way different from real mango)

[@adixar]

I don't like it.

[@thomaslane344]

mylo artificial mango taste pretty close to mango unlike other artificial flavors

[@notmyworld44]

I live in northern Arkansas, and Pawpaws are common here. The entire fruit is edible, except the seeds. If thoroughly ripe there is no need peeling it, because the ripe peeling is very delicate and tender. In all the world the Pawpaw is my favourite fruit. It tastes like sweet creamy custard.

[@feralkevin]

Every time you like something that is new to me, I look up the plant to see if it's something I can grow here, even if I have to keep in the greenhouse. Thanks! Also glad to see paws paws on the list!

[@WeirdExplorer]

So nice to hear that!

[@WeirdExplorer]

Good selection there

[@faresmilev5246]

You have to taste Dagla dates (from Algeria north of africa) it' amazing like honey.

[@FrazerHatyai]

your list isn't correct

[@thejesseshow123]

Of those I’ve only had honey mangoes but they’re soooo good!

[@RaphaellaVonMercer]

I really enjoy all of these videos SO MUCH! Thank you Weird Explorer for doing what you do and taking us with you all over the world and sharing all these wonderful fruits!

[@SereVie]

Velvet apple is called "buah mentega" in Indonesia, literally means butter fruit because it tastes creamy and smells a bit like butter I guess. I've had those without the fuzz. Apparently there's a variant of velvet apple without fuzz.

[@imaeatit4953]

Great list! So glad to see paw paws at #3. It's a shame that most people living in the U.S. don't even know that they exist.

[@Faithfulfarmer]

it's native in NC where i grew up. very nice

[@imaeatit4953]

Yeah, they are native to where I live in PA as well. Most people I talk to have never heard of them. I heard they have a nice paw paw festival in NC. I went to the one in Ohio last year and am going again this year.

[@MaxOakland]

[@bellakatherman1477]

yep.. sorry to say i’ve never heard of this before watching these vids

Looking forward to the next top 10! You keep chugging along!

[@Dogman_35]

I can't say I've tried a lot of exotic fruits. but by far my favorite fruit ever is Starfruit. It's like someone took the best part and an apple and a cucumber and put them together in a weird shape. Best things ever.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Love those too

[@GoodOmen365]

So glad you hit 13k you definitely deserve more subs, always love seeing your videos, keep the videos coming!

[@WeirdExplorer]

Thanks Joseph! 14k is coming up quick. Its so great watching the channel grow.

[@GoodOmen365]

Weird Explorer damn right, happy for you☺️☺️☺️

[@CutiePie-xi4zo]

Am I crazy that I don't want my fruit to taste like eggs even remotely? lol

[@WeirdExplorer]

It was weird for me the first time I had something with that taste.. its maybe better to think of it as a "custard" taste.

[@CutiePie-xi4zo]

Great. I could possibly do custard but eggs no. I thumbs up fruits usually that have a good mix of sweet and sour like a really great plum.

[@whereswaldo1630]

Weird Explorer there's even canned egg fruit and canned hot dogs it looked disgusting

[@shellshockedbros4458]

@Sequoiah Dreams Custard has an eggy taste because its made with eggs lol. Custard also tastes like milk and sugar and vanilla- etc. Having a fruit taste like raw eggs would be a little gross to me lol

[@zay_rat8942]

@@whereswaldo1630 mini hot dogs? those are good but yeah they look pretty odd.

[@johnbostrom9165]

Great video and love the Cenobite reference!

[@morafarms]

Holy cow, I was SO hoping you'd list Velvet Apple but thought that was a wild far fetched dream... So glad you have it on there! I haven't tried any yet, but I have a tree growing and put a pre-order for the fruit from Miami Fruit. Can't wait to try it.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Ah nice! Yeah it'll be worth the wait :)

[@GreatestEmperorOfTheSeas]

I've always wanted to travel the world eating all sorts of amazing foods. I really respect and admire your dedication to eating all this amazing food... hopefully one day I can buy you an expensive fruit as thanks for all these amazing videos.

[@katherinebennit5907]

the name of the banana is Pisang (banana) Badad. Keling is used by people who know no better and it IS a derogatory word to the Tamils.

[@WeirdExplorer]

Thanks for clearing that up!

[@DanTheFireman]

I made the mistake back in the 80s of asking an older Cuban woman if they had papaya. She gave me the stinkeye and walked away. A younger lady smiled and clued me in, papaya is slang for ladyparts to some of the Cubans, they call it fruita bomba. In Central and South America they just call it papaya.

[@ApheXMalign]

That's an awesome list! I definitely wish more of these grew in the U.S. though.

[@OverlordMaggie]

You asked for our Top Tens! TOP TEN: 1: Prickly Pear (I'm glad you got a better one!) 2: Cherries (especially Rainier Cherries) 3: Granadilla (tart and sweet and I like crunching the seeds) 4: Mangosteen (got it on your recommendation and they were so tasty!) 5: Lemon (lemon flavored treats or unsweetened lemonade, I even eat it fresh) 6: Lychee (super tasty but very hard to find good ones here in Canada) 7: Pomelo (sadly a compound in it means I cant eat it or grapefruit or lime) 8: Grapes (particularly black grapes and Concord grapes for the intense flavour) 9: *Good* apples (Jazz is my favourite variety, excellent sliced with peanut butter) 10: Pears (particularly Bosc pears or 'Asian pears', for that crispiness) My partner likes durian but the rest of the fam doesn't, and I'm curious to try one since eating the whole thing on your own sounds... intimidating :P I don't guarantee I'll like it but I'm open to it and think I *might*. Also going to reserve and cook the seeds as per your suggestion! Keep up the good work, loving the binge of this channel!

[@SuperCripple]

Haha, never mind I just asked in the last video if you were going to do an updated version of this, and here it is. Would help if I paid attention.

any other honorable mentions that come to mind, jared? (really enjoy your videos!)

[@myros2262]

yes, I've been waiting

[@rageshreemairembam989]

The way u hold the fruits looks like u r going dance 😆

[@handysiswantotan]

You should try "Salak Gula Pasir" translated into "Sandy Sugar Salak". Native to Bali, Indonesia.. It is very sweet with crispy texture.. Really yummy..

[@wilbrown3141]

I tried an achcacha in a Mexico City market in June , so if you live there or can travel to Mexico City, you should definitely look out for it!

[@docmcstuffins6300]

wil brown he has already had achacha its was his fav fruit in 2015

You really deliver an excellent review of the fruit of our world. Thank you very much. Idea!!! Maybe take us on some of your foraging adventures when your able too. Be nice to see where and how these fruits are aquired. I know you buy most but on occasion I know you pick your own. Thanks

Salacca tastes greatt!!😂when i was a child, whenever my grandma came back from her hometown I’d get an unlimited supply of this and it was heaven

[@nevaehdoesstuff1092]

What an awesome job you have!

[@Clownpissgaming]

I love the way you describe these fruits

[@blatinobear]

Loved the Hellraiser reference

[@extraSPARErib]

Buddy your videos put a smile on my face. These top fruits are all so different than what us poor Americans are used to ... and when afar we seem to gravitate toward the familiar. If I get a chance to go to these areas you visit, I think you should make a kind of Fruit Tourist Guidebook. Even as an app, this would be an amazing addition to your awesomeness. Thank you a lot.

[@lusciousmustard5476]

My personal top 10 would be: 1. Rollinia 2. Purple Mangosteen 3. Soursop 4. Lemon Zest Mango 5. Olosapo 6. Acerola 7. Mamey Sapote 8. Grumichama 9. White Sapote 10. Pomelo

[@Nurr0]

My brain cannot process the description of the Dabai... It sounds so unlike any fruit I've ever had.

[@cakeeater808]

Congrats on 200! Maybe you should try finding different types of jackfruit.

[@WeirdExplorer]

good idea

[@whataworld884]

This is a great video!

[@WeirdExplorer]

thanks!

[@rushdrift]

lukak is basically durian of the jungle there is another type where the fruit is red, this are basically the purest type of durian now there are plenty type, my favorite type of durian is the durian kampung one that has a bitter sweet milky and gassy taste, finding this one is the rarest one of all since durian kampung can be vary on taste according to the fruit even if it came from the same tree, finding this one is like winning a lottery.

[@artgael3784]

My favourite

[@apizlmbg1]

Durian Kura Kura isnt it? yeah that ones a gem. very moist, very sweet

[@tile-maker4962]

I started sprouting atemoya seeds less than a month ago. They are looking good.

[@sarahubbert3978]

Same here! After a couple years of searching I found some at an unassuming grocery store in the middle of nowhere PA and well,..they weren't as amazing as I was expecting. Some were brown inside as I think they often are frozen and shipped from Asia. I may have just got some that were low quality. They definitely had more of a mystique about them before I tried them. :/ I hope your experience is different!!! :)

I understand. Simple fruits are often amazing. We love strawberries in France and i'm growing some of which the taste would be very surprising to you. Sometimes you can't tell i'ts a strawberry for sure.

[@hippo6billion811]

Watermelon

[@evanever]

9:38 I got excited when you said that, but apparently the achacha has never been stocked by sellers in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, or Tasmania, the latter of which I live in. I guess I'll look for them next time I stay in Sydney or Melbourne.

[@WeirdExplorer]

You could maybe get them shipped too!

I'm in Australia and I didn't even know Achacha existed! Will try it asap :)

[@askhowiknow5527]

Mangos are delicious, but they could never taste or look so good that I’d pay $80

[@chandraravikumar]

You do not have to pay 80$. You can get a delicious sun or hay-ripened mango for less than 1$ each, and get to pick from more than 200 varieties in India.

[@drspectre7756]

You should try the Mamee Apple. It was one of the many amazing things I found at my second visit to The Fruit And Spice Park.

[@simonauer]

Hey WeirdExplorer: It would be awesome, if you always give a little info on where to find these. I wrote my own small list of want to tries and added yours, but sometimes it's quite hard to find out where one could actually get their hands on. You could also include it in the description, if you don't want to spend time on the video for that. ;) Thanks

[@dondobbs9302]

Yay! Pawpaw! And Sala made it again. I think it's Sala season now in Thailand.

[@coolkidme]

I love lychees and Jackfruit and Dragon fruit; but have never dared to taste Durian because of the horrible smell even in Vacuum-Sealed frozen packing of the Asian Market. But I am so glad to have seen Lukak on your channel and can't wait to try it. Do you save any of your seeds for growing, especially since many of the fruits are not found here in the USA? I also can't wait to taste Rose Apple, I love the Lychee because of it's rose-sweet taste. Please do a video on Cactus fruits. I am searching for a dwarf Medjool Date palm if you've heard of any please let me know.

[@HOBSTERthe22]

What influenced you to start a fruit review channel?

[@WeirdExplorer]

The first time I went to Malaysia I wanted to create a vlog of the interesting things I was finding in general. I made a few videos on various things but the fruit I was finding was the most interesting to me, so I decided to focus on that.. year later and here we are.

[@escott1981]

There is a town near me called Paw Paw, WV. I wonder if that is named after the fruit.

[@WeirdExplorer]

I think so! I actually stopped there and also at the nearby paw paw tunnel in the full episode on pawpaws.

[@sashamassey8385]

Love the Hellraiser reference. Know any way I can get some jabotica berries? I read that it's good for asthma and I believe in using food as medicine if I can. Thanks for making videos!

FINALLY!

[@Beastleviath]

I know it’s not exciting enough to be on the list, but if you’ve ever left a ripe peach in a car at 105 degrees all afternoon then I daresay you’ve tasted the nectar of the gods. That shit is simultaneously bananas and through the roof

[@Lasenggo]

@weird explorer For the velvet Apple or Kamagong. You can actually eat the seeds when the fruit is still young. They look and taste like jelly.

[@vincentprice9156]

Now that fruit place should make a crate of these with your promo code...Id'e love to try these

i miss eating salak so much! they are crunchy, sweet, and smells very good. too bad its harder to find good quality one nowadays

[@temporalce1684]

Pawpaw, hell yes. That's my favorite.

[@siamsurf]

Thanks for the video. We have 8 different mango varieties. It is my favorite fruit, and I want to have at least one tree of each variety that exists. We also got 3 different Durian varieties, but not Lukak yet. I am super interested in Dabai and Velvet Apple. :-)

[@lilVertin]

If i get my hands on one if theses I’m definitely going to grow it from seed.

[@mistymalibu9680]

Wasn't there a show called the paw paw bears? That fruit name made me think of them. Looks really tasty. Too bad we don't have access to more of these amazing fruits here. Looked forward to your video all week. 🍒🍌🍓

Left this video obsessed with PawPaw

[@JayLeePoe]

Thank you for giving me the names to varieties that I've wanted to hunt down. Excellent work for humanity. The bonus is that the comments section isn't too crazy and mostly filled with more ideas for fruits to try. "If you live in Australia, you have no excuse" - essentially applies to so many awesome experiences relating to SEA but then it's the most flip-flop sun-shorts 80s neon pastel bogan motherchunderers that take advantage of it all-- screaming about their poorly fried free-eggs and the thieving bar girl that obviously took money he left on the night stand because that's implied but he's literally 2 points above medical brain damage. So I guess don't challenge Aussies to explore because the only ones provoked are the worst kind while the nice ones stay at home being pleasant? They won't eat anything but butter chicken, let them be.
