You can eat MANGO SEEDS - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep. 357

[@k8eekatt]

When I was composting the mango pits, squirrels loved cracking them open and eating the seeds inside. I was surprised they knew to do that!

[@k8eekatt]

@Jacob Genekins I have heard everything is so much more brilliant and clear and even more colors. The flowers are amazing I haven't heard about the fruits but I bet they're amazing too!

[@Bubu567]

@@k8eekatt Because food is important when your body is dead...

[@k8eekatt]

@@Bubu567 quite a strange idea that we would experience a need or desire for food isn't it? I have read about near death experiences and talked with family members who had dreams of departed relatives. There were beautiful colors and sounds and a desire to help humanity but now that you mention it, no mangos. The first thing Jesus said upon resurrecting a little girl was, "bring her something to eat". After he rose and came to meet the disciples he fixed them grilled fish. Caring for the body of others by feeding them is love in practice. I hope you find some really good fruit today 😄

[@ameenaaneesh6862]

Saw your channel for the first time. I'm from Kerala, a southern state in India. We make a dessert here with mango seeds. The mango seeds (flaky brown skin removed) are broken into halves (along the middle portion). These are soaked in water, drained and replaced in fresh water every 8 hours - for 3 days. This is to get rid of the bitter substance in mango seeds (yellow dye in water). Once the water is all clear, it is ground well with soaked rice, coconut, jaggery syrup, fennel seeds/cardamom and steam cooked. It is a traditional recipe.

[@WeirdExplorer]

I haven't heard of that, what is the name of this dessert?

[@ameenaaneesh6862]

Extra virgin olive oil is for dressings and not high heat uses, use virgin olive oil blends if you must fry with an olive oil.

[@jchampagne2]

Also, seeing that stored on the counter made me cringe; that should definitely be out of the light when you're not using it.

[@cadederrick6751]

Actually, extra virgin olive oil is fine for cooking. There's a common myth that extra virgin olive oil is unsuitable for cooking but it is simply not true. The only downside is it's not ideal for super high heat cooking because of its low smoke point.

[@mariusexotic]

Cade Derrick not for frying as in this case!

[@ausintune9014]

No. It's great for cooking. Just when it gets too hot it smokes. But most cooking is below the smoke point.

[@shino8854]

Great for slow cooking at a low heat.

[@therammak]

That gotli (that's the word for Mango seeds in Gujarati) you got there looked pretty awful. The way you prepared it is more similar to how it is prepared in India - roasted to almost darkness and then spices sprinkled on top. As far as I am aware it isn't used in anything else except as mouth freshener Edit - You can also get dried spiced Amla which are prepared similarly and look kinda unappetizing but they taste good and doesn't give you the bitter taste of gotli

[@WeirdExplorer]

They sell the dry amla at a market near me, but i haven't tried it yet. Yeah it blackened very quickly, but didn't taste burned. how would you suggest preparing it?

[@therammak]

@@WeirdExplorer I've never prepared it myself so I cannot say for sure but usually they come slightly burnt and moderately to extremely salty.

[@FatBoy42069]

So why you would want to use ghee over olive oil is because it’ll add more flavor and it also cooks softer for lack of a better term I guess if you vegan you could use coconut oil but with the smoking point of coconut oil I wouldn’t also ghee helps to stop the dry mouth thing. And ghee is just clarified butter so if you’re going to try this again just clarify butter.

I had a mango once where the seed case was split open so I tried to get it to grow, but nothing happened. Guess I should have cooked it instead.

[@larap843]

The bitterness could be because you probably burned them, like, charred them :) I'll try making them though! The pressure cooker is very common in Italy as well, my family always had one. The lid closes the pot hermetically and this builds a lot of pressure inside of it. The result is that it cooks things in half of the time it would take normally.

[@shottysteve]

i opened one up and took a bite like you did in the video at 2:17 and it tasted exactly how you described. holy crap. i think next time ill just take your word for it.

Pressure cooking is a method to either boil or vapor things at a temperator way above the usual water boiling temperature.. I believe the "whistle" count to be the number of whistles/second.. The mai goal is to reduce the cooking time.. If you boil potatoes, it will tale 20 or 30 minutes.. With a pressure cooker they will be right out cooked in less than 10 minutes

[@denserdeezsignz5498]

We have an affinity for sweet pickling green mango . If you pick them very young the shell/ membrane is not formed yet and the seed content is the size of the whole seed instead. I have bitten into them on a few occasions by accident and expected your first response and the word astringent came to mind also.

The whistles happen when the pot needs to release steam, it will do this at regular intervals until all the water is gone.

Get a pressure cooker! You can get a cheap electric one with automatic settings for everything from rice to stew. A half-hour in a pressure cooker is equal to a few _hours_ of boiling. If you only gave 20 min. of boiling then they were seriously undercooked (compared to pressure cooker time).

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

yeah pressure cookers cook differently than pots .. when cooking under pressure things like bones, and seeds avacado etc.. get soft... and become more like boiled potato.. you cant really get the same effect with an open pan.. if you want the same sort of effect hold the lid of the pot down and dont let steam escape.

A pressure cooker boils harder than normal boiling, so taking it down to a simmer is perhaps too gentle. (Boiling water can not go above 100 degrees Celsius, because it then escapes as steam, but pressure cookers allow water to go above 100 degrees.) I wonder if you were meant to cook the seeds you bought. Like they might be more comparable to dried versions of the seeds you started with, and perhaps should still be boiled and/or fried.

mango seeds also give you a natural "rolling paper", when they are dry and you can crack them open easily, around the actual seed there's kind of a film/skin which you can use as a rolling paper for tabacco, kumbaya or other stuff nature gives u. . with that being said: smoking is bad for your health, don't do it .

An instant pot would be handy for this, but that is a lot of mango seeds to collect to make it worthwhile.

I've tried them raw and it was sooooo astringent.

I didn't know you could eat mango seed and after watching, I don't want to

They remind me of little lungs when dried I love it

[@commenter7893]

That makes me wonder if the seed has any health benefits for the lungs.
