How about YOU learn more about this fruit. someone explained it better in the comment

[@kerokerobonita]

I had no idea monsteras grew fruits!! I have a massive one at home, I hope it grows one someday!

[@KayBX]

They rarely ever grow fruit indoors, they may grow flowers but you have to self pollinate it

[@TheOracleRealm]

@@KayBXand different varieties. That what people don’t know.

[@Ozzymandius1]

That was the same image of Pineapple I've seen under a microscope a million times and not an example of what you're trying to explain. Correction: Both pineapple and this fruit have calcium oxalate needles within them. The image was definitely of a pineapple under the microscope and the needles are not what you have to worry about when eating the fruit unripe because those needles are absolutely safe and cause the same sensation a pineapple does when eaten. It's the OXALIC ACID that the fruit naturally contains and is converted during the ripening process. Oxalic acid is used to bleach wood and remove rust from metal.

[@GuardianTiger]

Thanks for the info!

[@alexandrafreitasev3788]

This fruit takes around 6 months to fully develop and be ready to harvest. For those that don’t like waiting the trick to ripening the fruit quickly and all at once is to wrap it in newspaper or aluminum foil as soon as the initial part begins to ripen and wait two or three days to have a feast😊. Love your content. Big hug from Madeira Island, Portugal.🇵🇹

[@ashlin1422]

For some reason, we have this plant in our campus (i think it grew accidently), I just saw the fruit today and thought, hmm that seems familiar. It has started ripening so ill pluck tomorrow.

[@lendekramer9461]

This fruit is a Delicious Monster. Well known in South Africa, but not many people know that they are edible. The Madeirans call is Banana Abacaxi which translates to Banana Pineapple. A real mix of flavours between banana and pineapple. Amazing fruit.

[@owenblount7334]

Looks like it’s related to jackfruit and breadfruit which are related to mulberries

[@abuhasb33]

We have it at home and we never ate it

[@sarafaria4155]

Well... im from Madeira and we call it fruto delicioso... have lots of these plants but have never eaten its fruits... not sure if i will. Its also toxic when not ripe.

[@johnathanmcfarland903]

Thank you for all the great ideas. I have something I want to try, I ask KZbin, and you always pop up. Thanks again

[@greendogwax]

I always wondered why it was called deliciosa! I've kept them as house plants for years but I've only seen it fruit once.

[@Chaos_Senpai]

It takes a long while

[@astoroidea6502]

Yeah they can take up to a decade to reach fruiting maturity. If you can find a fruiting plant, you’re rather lucky.

[@KayBX]

Thank you for letting me know, I’ll woman gave me two cuttings from her massive Monstera that’s growing wild in her backyard and it has two fruits on each

[@GUPPYMOMCHANNEL]

몬스테라 열매 먹고 씨앗도 심어서 키워보면 좋을 것같아요. 씨앗 발아 모습도 기대할게요 🥰

[@DeathMetalDerf]

Monsters is so good!!! Just let the little hexes fall off naturally over time. The flesy bits are a tropical wonderland!!!

[@TheKiwiGrower]

Have you tried this fruit?!

[@iri3977]

Kia Ora from Whangarei, yes, i recall we called this "fruit-salad" and ate this fruit when we were young - we had a massive plant outside our front yard. Blessings & Happy Holidays 🌞🎄😊

[@zarynt1089]

Unfortunately I lost mine last year. It was just getting to a large size with multiple hanging roots all along the vine with massive leaves. The greenhouse heating failed on a day it dropped to 14°F and it froze all the way through. Very sad because I grew it from seed. Keeping tropicals can be difficult.

[@HorribadHumor]

I might have to try this if i can het my hands on it.. thanks for the upload! 👍

[@kennstransky]

Incredibly interesting and educational..thanks.

[@carolzhu4936]

Pineapples have does needles but just a lot less

[@andreeair]

I'm drooling!! Please send me one! ❤🤗🤗

[@CharlieHoang97]

It seems quite similar to custard apple, interesting.

[@myplantllife]

Thank you for this video, had all the information i needed, I'm harvesting a few right now

[@user-bd1to5jb3l]

❤❤❤

[@frando2479]

Guess what: Same goes for Kiwi and Rhubarb. No one bats an eye there, so don't make it sound more special than it is 😂

[@maria.s1326]

Thanks. I have this plant. Waiting to yield fruits.

[@beachwanderer9486]

Hi Fellow kiwi, enjoying your shorts from down here in Invercargill.

[@divyasasidharan2960]

They are e just like sitaphal 😮

[@albalereico8266]

Yo e visto este bueno ahora fruto lo e visto casi toda mi vida y ahora resulta que es una exisitez jajaja 😂 que lamento??? No haberla probado en ese buen tiempo 😂😂ni modo 😊❤

[@melsyoutube]

i love how knowledgeable you are

[@inge6280]

Love those, discovered them on Madeira, delicious!

[@Bald_Zeus]

Oh man that's a bummer, visited Madeira years ago but didn't know about thos fruit then. Would've loved to try it

[@jusufbanamtuan8852]

Sempurna bro❤

[@alecleon1752]

So if it's unripe you just rind out what woulda happened if you ever got fiberglass and cotton candy mixed up

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

I e always wanted to try one. ALWAYAS 🤦🏻‍♀️ ok, since getting into plants in 2018

[@america6068]

Se encuentra desde Méxic asta el norte de argentina 👈

[@ivanljujic4128]

Doesnt pineapple also have the needles?

[@aeroh790]

i don’t believe so, ive heard that its just an enzyme that breaks down protein so the pineapple kind of eats you back

[@ivanljujic4128]

@@aeroh790 Interesting! Ty for letting me know.

[@killercat241]

​​@@aeroh790 Pineapples have both raphides and the enzyme

[@OutlawOutrage]

in other words its like eating fiberglass

[@Gavin_w853]

Oxalate is also one of the most common causes of kidney stones.

[@user-xy1iv4rl7v]

Oh. Ist. Time. I. Saw. That. Kind. Of. Fruit. Thanks. For. Sharing👌👌👌

[@jamesamore407]

I'll just stick to apples and bananas I think 👌

[@seraphariel1364]

Hey! Has anyone ever told you that you’re a doppelgänger for the Star Gate Actor JR Bourne…!? 👀 crazy how every time you come up in my feed, I feel I’m looking at a Tok’ra..!😃😅

[@TheKiwiGrower]

Haha haven’t heard that one 😂

[@veikkakarvonen831]

Probably related to pineapple

[@vyttyvasm]

bru, you liked a bot comment

[@Tae..95]

why it's dangerous...??? it have poison or something ..??

[@zarynt1089]

The plant is beautiful and fun to grow. The fruit is dangerous if eaten at the wrong time. You have to make sure it is fully ripe and the cone doesn't ripen all at the same time.

[@lothean2099]

Thats a pass for me I know ill just eat an unripe one. Nice info by the way.

[@friendly2.1]

♥️😘

[@ellized.1872]

Pineapple also has raphides, right?

[@aspiringcaptain]

Yes it does

[@FiveNightsAtGtag]

It stands for monster delicious

[@norainikadir8956]

MALAYSIA GOT THIS PLANT, RIGHT?

[@vancegilmore245]

Not those needle shaped crystals of calcium oxalate. That's what kidney stones are made of.

[@abirami7196]

Ada lengthy seetha pazham

[@Theprawnninja4077]

Thats not big enough to eat will have alot of pins

[@UdderlyEvelyn]

Would love to try that but that's far too dangerous lmao.

[@iri3977]

We had a massive plant in our front yard and ate this fruit when we were young - we called it fruit-salad...an acquired taste when young though sweet and delicious. Blessings & Happy Holidays 🌞🎄😊

[@christianspanggaard]

You can eat a monstera? I didn't even know the had fruits

[@ifanythingiwant]

This is like one of those things you make up in kindergarten like, "You have to eat the magic apple while doing a handstand and while someone is breakdancing beside you or else you'll pee and poo yourself and turn to liquid."

[@godofguns2434]

Not my fat ass peeling the skin after eating some of it because its way too good to stop eating it.

[@MichaelHarto]

Just eat sugar apple. No risk.

[@BlackQueenMagic]

The names they come up with is becoming ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣

[@Ghost_3500_uchiha]

Don't forget Mr beast gave the flavor a name "pinapple on steroids"😂😂😂

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

Why should we care what some youtuber for kids named them?

[@lisabrightly]

I'll pass.

[@ihopeugrow]

I’ll eat any fruit that doesn’t taste like a banana

[@puertadoor8738]

No thanks!

[@canadianbutt275]

Who the hell called a fruit deliciosa
