I didn't make some jam sadly 😕 I just didn't have enough of the fruit to make some. But a jam is still a burning desire! Hopefully I can find a good bunch of them one day and share that jam making little project with you guys 😊
If you have just enough of the delicioso in the future, you could add it to some other summery fruits such as pineapple, kiwifruit, apricot, nectarine and mango. You could just call it a 'summer fruit salad' jam. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?
Wow, I have had an enormous and very mature monstera plant along my side fence (about 20 feet wide by 6 feet high) for the 3 years I've owned this home. It was planted by the previous homeowner and I had no idea that those weird things are edible! I have literally thrown out about 50+ of them over the years; the plant is that large! I have about 10 of the fruits out there right now!... As a matter of fact, one just fell off today! Thank you for the instruction! Definitely excited to try this. We also grow tons of bananas (I harvest and give out about 400-500 per year), as well as pineapples. Can't wait to add the monstera fruit to the harvest!
Excellent Roy! I cant wait until you try it and be sure to comeback and weigh in what you think. Its such a great fruit. That's a great size Monstera you got there! Be sure if you get enough fruit to try making some jam with it, that's the next thing I want to try... just need to find enough fruit :-) Sounds like you have a very nice smallholding there and very productive! :-)
Let us know what you think of it. Don't forget- you can't pick the little segments off and eat them until they come off easily. Otherwise it won't taste very nice. You have to wait for it to ripen, section by section.
No you didn’t.
I have so many of these for years and today is the first i knew it was a fruit , just look outside and actually it have two fruits right now,am very excited to try them when they are ripen
So my wife has a very green thumb, we have massive monstera plants. We live in Illinois so ours will never fo this. We are in Hawaii right now and my wife just found 3 almost ready. She said,they just made her whole trip. Thank you for the information.
The MD grows very well in Miami, so much so that mine has gone as high as 40+ feet up a Royal Ponciana tree.
I use the fruit to make ice cream. Few can guess the source of the ice cream’s flavor as it also has a perfume like scent. Delicious.
Great video!
Oh wow, I bet the ice crème is fantastic!
I wonder how well it would grow in Southern Texas and Louisiana.
@@JeanEDeaux although it does not get as cold in So Florida, we see many days in the 40’s during the Winter and it does not affect the plant one bit. It likes a moist soil and the richer the better but it will also get along fine in sandy soil, sun or shade. To be sincere, it’s almost it has the habit of weeds here, just grows no matter what. It’s a very inexpensive plant so you would not be taking a big risk to try it out. Here it’s being used more like a base plan for landscaping.
Awesome video, you answered every question I had in mind and also you showed microscope pictures which was really cool! Thank you! 😄⭐️
This is possibly my favourite fruit ever! I've only had it three times but have loved it. It's also commonly called the 'fruit salad' plant as it really does taste like a bunch of tropical fruits all at once. My introduction to the plant was when I was a teenager. My family had a connection with a green grocer who would occasionally bring us fruit and veg. He taught me how and when to eat it. The last time was when I saw some for sale at the Sydney Royal Easter Show a few years ago. I wish I knew where I could buy these when in season. It's not something seen commonly at the grocery. I've thought about growing a monstero deliciosa plant but it could be such a hit-and-miss as to when or if it might grow the fruit.
wow that's great! ive never seen them for sale here at the store, in fact most people just let them fall off and rot and they have no idea its edible. which is good for me...lol. I would defiantly try growing one if you have a garden, it should grow big enough to produce regular fruit :-)
I'm in Sth Australia and have one of these outside which I planted. Within 6 years and when it was about two and a half metres high, I started getting fruit on it.
Beautiful tiles behind you! The fruit looks like an alien corn cob.
Yeah right! They very nice tiles 😃 very typical here in Andalusia.
@@GreenthumbsGarden I can imagine from that glimpse! Lovely!
@@GreenthumbsGarden Funny I wrote alien cifn cob before I heard you say it.
@@GreenthumbsGarden You are from Great Britain 🇬🇧, but live in Spain? How nice!
@@thegatesofdawn...1386 Yeah that's it 🙂
I live in Hawaii & am fortunate to have several huge plants on our farm. Thanks for the jam idea!!
Alex,
Such an awesome video with great content. I've never heard of this fruit before and the fact you called it a delicious monster was great. Kept me wanting to finish the video to the end. Take care good friend.
😅 thanks Badge! You have to try it one day, keep a look out if this plant is able to grow outside. So delicious!!
I recently tried the fruit & you are correct it it delicious , we have it in our back garden in Kona Hawaii , I looked & we have 6 fruit hiding under the leaves . Thanks for the video .
I have a massive Monstera growing in my small backyad in Melbourne, Australia which has been giving me fruit for the past 10 years. I learned through trial and error how to ripen them. I wrap them in any kitchen paper and put them in the cupboard until ripe. I have quite a bit in my freezer also because of how much fruit I got. I had radiation treatment for lung cancer in 2021 so now I like to eat it for more than just the marvelous flavour. Nice in a smoothie too.
Monstera Deliciosia was popular i saw it everwhere.
@shelaine61 I'm on the NSW Central Coast and i have a tree full of fruit, but they're smooth and not rough like the ones shown here, are yours smooth when you pick them? mine never get to the rough stage as they rot and fall on the ground.
I watch them now for about 10 to 12 months as they ripen. I pick them just before
that and if I put it in a brown paper bag in the pantry, within 3-5 days it will have
ripened to that falling apart bit by bit as it will still take another day or 2 to be totally edible. Also I found out that because of a medical issue with my tongue the little black bits that look like tea leaves burn my tongue & throat like pepper. So it's not sweet'n'sour, it's sweet'n'spicy. I have tried to rinse them all out and have had some success freezing the fruit instead of eating it. That way I end up with a whole piece of the fruit, not just a mouthful at a time.
@@joydivisionboy1 If leaves don't have holes it is not monstera.
Fantastic bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing Alex 😁🌱☀️
😃 your welcome Fletchy
I have picked a fruit off my plant last week, and the hexagons are coming off easily now... I have tasted this now for the first time, and it IS the most delicious fruit I have ever eaten. So glad I have this plant in my yard.
You lucky son of a gun!! I wish I had one mature enough producing fruit. I have one in a pot that is growing well outside. Maybe one day 😊the taste is epic!! Got to be the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted.
I never knew those plants could grow fruit! As someone who enjoys exotic fruit, I'd really like to try those!
Well it's never too late to join the party!! 🥳😄 Now you know, keep on the look out!! It's a real taste sensation.
@@GreenthumbsGarden will do! It looks absolutely amazing 😍
@@latetotheparty266 be sure to check back in and let us know what you thought of the fruit when you finally get to try it!! 😃
Mine has 3 of these fruits all about the 12 inch mark, thanks for this information particularly how to remove correctly, and how to eat in the stages, my mums one was always eaten by the ants, funnily enough by more than one breed at the same time, thanks again for your knowledge.
Great video! Didn't know you could eat that. Always love your videos. Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do! 😃
I refuse to die before trying this
Then I hope you don't get to try it for a very very long time 😅 it is an incredibly tasty fruit.
Thanks for the raphides explanation, I tried one of these 30 years ago with great anticipation and excitement and was so disappointed after the irritating mouth feel. I was blaming the little black separators. Since then of watched our monstera flower and fruit and have thrown the fruit in the compost. If I live to see ours flower again I now know how to eat it
Your welcome Ian :-) hopfully next time you can enjoy it much more :-)
Over the years We had a big bush of this plant, bearing so many fruits at the time..had no idea we could eat it, would have been nice in home made fruitsalad with all our other local fruits. Thanks for the heads up.
Great video! My Monstera has 4 fruits, I can’t wait😎 First time, I had no idea they made fruit. Can you harvest the seeds at the same time as it ripens? Good times - thanks.
what a great idea Monstera Deliciosa jam (ah a pity I no longer live up in Lismore, we had a huge plant in the backyard)
Saw these from a flower planted a couple of years ago and was wondering what they're Google lens led me hear this is so informative and life saving,Thanks so much
Oh cool! Google Lens lead you here? That's sweet 😊 thanks and glad you enjoyed it 😄
Thank you so much for the information.
You welcome 😊
Wow, didn't know they were edible. My mom has a plant of this in her house and now I'm eager to try its fruit when it ripens up, it has 2 pods of these.
I wish I'd had this video 30 years ago lol we had one in the back yard but we ate the fruit way too son and it was an awful experience. I'd be great to try again now I know what to do with it :)
😧 yes I bet it was not a good experience at all! Hopefully you get the chance again, it's truly a wonderful fruit, full of flavour!
@@GreenthumbsGarden one day I’m sure I will. I love tropical fruits growing up in Australia they were like apples and pears to us. It was so normal I do miss it which is why I’m trying to grow tropicals here in the UK xox
I remember eating mine as a child but it left me with a prickly mouth! I know it tasted delicious though
@@BloosSelfReliance Are you trying to grow tropical fruits in a greenhouse? I don't think you'd get very far in a non-protected environment. I'm in Sydney so can't grow all the tropicals here. The monstero delicioso would have to grow in my back window if I were to try. I've got grow lights and some rechargeable power banks to use with them if I do grow them in a very small tent.
@@loverlyme I was living in Auckland at the time. It was an IMMENSE plant with several fruit on it. I can't grow them where I live now in York in the UK unless its indoors and homes here are so small even the cat gets cramps let alone having one of these here in the living room xox
I have had this in my yard my whole life and I never knew that you could actually eat them
oh well your in for a real treat Santi!! let me know what you thought of them once you get to try it :-)
Thanks for the info..neighbours one with fruit growing over my side of the fence..mist try it
Thanks for the video! I saw a thai constellation that fruited, i wonder if the variegation affects the flavor
Jam!! What a great idea!! I love this plant and fruit!! Just ate some😊 Yum.
Me too!!
Tried it, and it IS deliciosa! Mahalo from Hawaii❤
isn't it!! my favourite fruit to find that's for sure... a second favourite is mango!
Just got one. I feel lucky to find this video 😊😊😊
Awesome!! How was it?
I’ve just tried this for the first time as a friend gave me a couple from her plants. I waited for the buttons to drop off. Though I did eat some rafieds my mouth felt weird but I’ve been nibbling at it a little each day.
We just tried some of this...as it's name suggests it's muy deliciosa!! But we did get a little of those raphides.. can't wait for the next harvest!
it's a monster 👾 best to eat a little at a time. a little tingling is to be expected, the more ripen you leave it the better. it's very delicioasa!
Just discovered a huge stash of these fruit in our overgrown garden here in Sydney Australia...probably around 15 "cobs" in total in different stages of ripeness. Can't wait to "smash one down me gullet"...but will heed all your warnings and take it easy...have seen bite marks on the fruit already from our local wallaby family...so will have to watch over them before the wallabies and possums get them.
The look is great. I just found a new cucumber i could use. 🙈
once the greenhouse is finished ill start propagating this plant as it gives food in return for growth. i cant wait to grow all the plants that give fruit nuts and medicine and resell them to other people like ourselves who are looking to grow a food forest. always a great video alex cheers
the greenhouse is looking great Curtis! will be awesome for sure, a little world to escape in to 😀
mate, absolutely insightful video, thanks so much! The variegated monstera that we have in the kitchen grew a fruit and it has just literally fallen off. Is there a way to use the seeds in the fruit to plant more or should we just nosh it when it is ripe?
If you find seeds they will be in the little fruit cells... I'm yet to find a seed, 😕 but yeah definitely get them planted! Not sure it will produce a variegated Monstera tho. What you got, would love to see it! Those white leaf Monsteras are beautiful. Yes nosh away indeed!!
This is good information I have them growing like weeds
I eat it like corn on the cob! Had 3 of them in the last couple of days. It's good to live in sub-tropical areas.
I have a fifth just emerging from its leaf wrapper and I think I have one that is ready. Wife is very excited. Wish I could post pics😎
🥳🎉🌱 Congrats! @SATSolutions-gz6my you can share a pic on Twitter if you use it or on our Discord server. Links in the description :-)
Delicious
Wow my mother had no idea and watched hers for 50 years!
shame! well hopfully you don't miss out on any more!!
I live in San Diego, CA, have a monstera Delicious growing well in a pot on my patio,,, saw 3 shapes growing that I assumed were more leaves, then one opened up and I knew it was the fruit,,, hope I get it to ripe stage to taste it, don't want any oxalates crystals in my body. Thanks for sharing so. much information about the fruit process.
You're welcome, glad you enjoy the content @pollymartin604 😀 Happy growing!! 🌱
오!
처음 알게 됐어요.
What! How come I didn't know about this? We've had monstera bearing fruits all the time but I never knew they were edible till now.
Waaaah looks likes a proper delicious monster...!
it was... it just got eaten by an even bigger monster. Theirs always a bigger fish 👀 😅
What accent do you have? It's quite comforting.
Here in the Philippines we also have that the same plant and fruit , but inside the fruit instead of having the white color, here the inside of that fruit is Orange. Do you think it is eatable or safe to it? Or it is not the same from the original. monstera deliciosa?
I'm not sure, be sure to check with an expert. Maybe its the same but I can not say, especially without a photo.
I wish I could send you a picture so you can take a look and decide if it is safe or not, sir!
Omg the fruit grew in my pot plant didn't know😂 I will try next time.
Ohh you missed a real treat Zina!! you know for next time!! be sure to come back and check in and let us know what you thought about it once you do get the chance to try it :-)
We are still waiting patiently 😃👍
Brill!! let me know what you think when you try it!! 😃
I just found them in my backyard!!!!!!!
🥳🎉🌱 Congrats! @I_am_the_glitch Enjoy them!! did you try, what did you think?
@@GreenthumbsGarden they took SO long to ripen and I moved away so never got to try them :(
I am amaze to saw this video in mrbeast shorts video when he eat and i go to Google it and saw your video about this fruit which was all the time in my garden😅 so thanks somuch for yours method of how to eat this monstrous rare fruit😂❤❤❤❤
Hi folks, I didn't obsess when you reran the video I missed the first time! So any who, I have this Monstera, I bought yesterday at Walter Andersons and want to give it the the culture to thrive in and fruit.
What nutrients does it need? I'm so glad to know about the watering.
Always appreciating you folk's!
I thought they were just seeds when i saw them on the massive plant at my grandma's!
i have a monstera deliciosa fruit that i found but its kinda small can i still eat it if i let the outside come of?
Not sure, it needs to be a fully developed fruit. Ive had people give me fruit before that was not fully grown and the skin did fall off but the fruit was tasteless and mushy.
ok thank you
@@GreenthumbsGarden
Ive got so MANY and livte the taste. One monstera has literally grown up a 40+' avocado tree, covered the whole tree trunk.
Anyway why they get all them black spots?? Some looks like covered when opened and it looks lije some kind of black fungis? Do you know ifbits part of the fruit or not? Living in Hawaii, and ive probably got ckose to 100 fruits as of right NOW 😊
I have the plant as an indoor houseplant plant will it grow fruit
no not indoor, they need to be growing outside in the ground.
Very common in the azores
brilliant! for me its a rare find and a very nice treat.
Oh crap, growing up we jad a massive bush of these and always played with the fruit like a sword or throw ut to each other , wasnt aware that it was actually edible, likely to have thrown away hundreds of the fruit.... hope i can get a plant and actually one day it the fruit 😂😂
😂 exactly what I would have probably done as a kid 😅😅
I always ask, is there's no seeds?
so far I have not found any seed in any of the fruit I've managed to find :-/ its a shame, I would love to try grow Monstera from seed.
What's the black stuff inside?
just left over calcium oxalate in the pith, you can pick it out, if the fruit is well ripe it wont hurt to eat a little of it, i prefer to pick it out as it will contain larger amounts of raphides.
Meow delicioso!
Had one in my front yard as a kid in Australia. Absolutely delicious when ripe but you’ll really regret eating non-ripe fruit, like having a mouthful of fur and blunt razor blades if you can imagine that
Let him eat it's fine
What's that accent mate it sounds Northern English, Midlands, Scottish and Carribbean all at the same time? 👍🏻
😅 it's a Yorkshire accent but I've lived in Spain for many years now so things slowly change when you have the habit of speaking to nonnative English speakers... otherwise they wouldn't understand a thing 😂
They taste just like passionfruits.
With passionfruits you don't have to wait as long and you can get lots more per harvest.
Maypops especially grow like weeds and as long as you keep them watered you'll get bunches.
It has so many flavours, that's why they call it the fruit salad plant also. For me I mainly pick up a banana cross pineapple sensation.
They will ripen in a brown paper bag also.
Kidney stone
You can buy those fruits in Tesco but only at certain times of the year.
Ha ha,
I just made that up 😆
Why does this guy have every UK accent at once? 🤔
😂😅
What accent does this guy have?
The king for Me is chirimoya, better than viagra!😁
😯
What accent is that???
🤐 got to keep people guessing 😅
Wat is that accent
Maybe South African? His accent screams kinda African or like kinda Jamaican or something
