- The most delicious Ecuadorian fruit, what they taste like and the best place to buy fruit in Ecuador.
Hello from Tamarindo, Ecuador. So we've driven from Cuenca through Cajas National Park and down to the foothills. An hour and a half away from Guayaquil and we stopped off in Tamarindo because it is known for the fruit market. So there's a stretch of fruit markets, all owned by the community.
But we're here to visit Jamie and that's because she has some fantastic fruit from Ecuador. And so also, while people generally buy a bag of it or buy the pound, she's actually allowed us just to sample a bunch of different treats. We just bought one of a different few things so I could share with you some of the fruit that you can find.
There are ]many different kinds of mango around the world. They say this one is the most delicious. It's the Edward mango.
Ecuadorian green mango are also delicious. It is called the Rey or king. You eat it green and it's slighty tart but still sweet. Oftentimes, it's used in a ceviche. So you can have it as a vegan ceviche or they'll add seafood to it. Or you could also have it in a michelada.
There are two kind of mandarin oranges, the mandarinas are quite sweet and orange on the outside. The criollo oranges in Ecuador are larger, green on the outside and no as juicy.
Ciruelos. Ciruela is a plum. Ciruelo..not sure. However, these are small Ecuadorian fruit. How you eat them is actually as there's like a pit inside, you just put it between your teeth when you suck out the juice.
There's not actually a lot of flesh, but it is quite juicy. I definitely think that this is part of the plum family.
The cacao fruit eventually becomes chocolate. So if you open it up you see little pods. You don't actually eat the pod, you just kind of suck around it. Like you would a candy but you don't bite into it. It would be so bitter.
We have three different kinds of bananas here. First the cavendish banana, which is known from home. Then this red banana that Ecuadorians call aa purple banana. And then in the Andes they call it the rompe culo, which means ass buster. Nobody knows why.
And finally a baby banana in Ecuador called Orito or little gold, which is very creamy and smooth.
At Jamie's fruit stand she has lots of different kinds of fruit that I have not shown you. She's got pineapple, cantaloupe, white grapefruit, papaya, and jackfruit.
I have coconut two ways. One simply with a straw it in to drink the coconut water. You can't drink too much of it. It is a diuretic, so it will give you the runs.
And they have a special drink that you might want to pick up. It is called coco loco. And so what it is, it’s coconuts that have been filled with aguardiente and coconut water. And then actually they are buried underground for six months and it ends up with this drink.
Now if you don’t want to commit to buying the whole coconut they’ll let you try a little bit. But I have a feeling once you try it you’re going to want some.
My top three things to try are one: the mango, the cacao and coco loco.

great video now i am hungry hoping to visit ecuador next year
Thank you! I have some fantastic food coming up over the next few weeks
The meat inside the Coco Loco is even more amazing!
I have two in the freezer that I am probably going to break into one them on Saturday evening.
I am enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing on Canadian Expats For Ecuador.
Moved here in July of 2021 and am really loving where we live.
Thanks so much for the kind words, I never know how people will respond to the videos. Where did you end up settling?
Those fruits looked amazing. Mango is my favorite fruit. BTW. I like your blouse, it is as colorful as all that delicious fruit.
Mango is definitely top five for me too. And my blouse I'd actually a dress, which is good because it felt like 40C when we shot this!
Ayngelina like the way they displayed the fruits in the boxes. The "rompe butt" banana made me laugh. I'm a fan of coconut water. Thanks for sharing. I'm all into fruits and veggies.
I have more to share, waiting for the season to change!
Mango verde it’s yummy 😋 with salt 🧂😅👌👌👌so good 👍 but the most delicious mango 🥭 in the world it’s mango ATAULFO omg 😍 👌👌👌👌👌also ciruela or ovo it’s delicious with salt 🧂 lol 😂 for real yummy yummy
I have to agree with you on the mango.
Your videos are my favorite! So helpful. You have a great personality and I love it when you eat something you like how your eyes open wide, makes me smile every time.
It makes me really happy to hear that you find them helpful. I really want to inspire people to visit Ecuador and really experience what I have been so lucky to see.
You're my new favorite Ecuador expert!!!
Definitely not an expert 😁 but I am lucky to have Andres help me with so much of this. He's a national guide and knows exactly the things I like to do. For me food is culture and so I love spending a day just exploring what makes a country unique.
Bonito q, una mujer Canadian muestre las cosas ricas de Ecuador saludos bonita desde Toronto Canada Viva Las frutas y el Agua loca Rico Rico Rico
Gracias 💜
I love how you enjoy all the foods - even tho I am vegan/plantbased. Makes me hungry every time. Looking fwd to exploring the multitude of plant foods Ecuador has to offer.
GREAT enjoy..in my name 🇪🇨
Wow! I have to watch this one..😳
Hope you like it!
Ecuador "el país de las frutas", donde la tierra generosamente produce frutas frescas los 365 días del año, de todas las regiones de la Patria, Costa, Sierra, Amazonía y Galápagos.
Deben exister al menos unos 200 tipos de frutas: dulces, ligeramente ácidas, ácidas, las hay para jugos, postres, helados, para comerlas enteras, es verdaderamente una delicia, solo en plátanos hay variedades como: mini bananas u oritos, platáno rosado, limeño, verde, maqueño, maduro, guineo.
Lo que mas extraño de mi pais. Las frutas
claro, pero las frutillas estan mejor en Nueva Escocia :)
Que envidia sana tengo tu comiendo frutas exquisitas!!! Yo comiendo arroz con frijoles y ya saludos Quito
Voy a Quito pronto! Que debo comer alla?
Q niña para hermosa disfrutando las delicias d mi lindo Ecuador 🇪🇨 gracias x visitar
Muy gentil 💜
Amazing fruits
SO delicious!
Loving you videos, soon to be there!
Thank you so much, when are you arriving?
Great video.
Third way to drink coconut water, pour some rum in the coconut to mix with the water. 🙂
Great tip!
Very informative 👍👌
Thrilled you enjoyed it. I have more on my website as well :)
Great Video!! I suggest trying the papaya!!
I think you will like it if you try it in a
Ecuador😊
I have eaten papaya in Ecuador several times and I don't like it. 😥 I always try it if it's a fruit salad but I don't like the flavour.
Oh really!! Maybe try some of those small papayas. They are sweet.. That is a bummer the flavor is not pleasant to you. Hopefully sometime your taste buds change their minds and start liking papaya😁
All the Ecuador travel + food videos here --> bit.ly/Ecuador_Videos Where should I go next?
I love mandarinas.
oh me too!
I'm enjoing u videos are very descriptive when it comes to food..
Thank you! I really try to find a way to explain what something tastes like in a way that people can understand and will want to try.
I used to holiday as a kid back in 90s in ibiza.... I have a poster tht has coco loco ibizas official cocktail.. I'm gonna make one and reminisce....
I love that this video inspired a great memory.
The mango is soft and sweet
It’s fantastic
I LOVE mandarinas (the green ones) we grow some in our yard here in Amazonia
so lucky, what town do you live in?
@@ayngelina Misahualli :)
I’ll add it to the travel wish list 😊
My dear canadian friend the big mandarine is called "KING" the green mango is a native variety called "REINA" and the "CIruela" is also called "Obo", the yellow banana that you eat are the Gros Michele variety not the one who is exported, the cavendish
Oh thank you so much for sharing this, I appreciate the correction and now I know what the ciruela is called 😊
En Ecuador y en algunas partes de latam es muy común comer mango con sal y limón ya sean los maduros o verdes, igual pasa con las ciruelas! Saludos
Tambien me encanta mango con aji pero no vi aqui en Ecuador
@@ayngelina eso del mango con aji es muy común en México no se si en guantemala o demás países de Centroamérica lo hagan, pero acá en suramerica no lo hacemos aunque por mi parte me gustaría probar como lo hacen allá en México, se ve también super bueno!
@@johannagranda5734 si esta riquisima!
El que le gusta prepara ají con mango, con ciruela verde y con grosella, así lo hacía mi papá cuando vivía en Guayaquil.
that is how I peel the bananas too, I feel something is off when I see people peeling the bananas the other way. Also the only fruit which is new to me is the ciroella, planning to try it. I need to try coco loco too.
What is the other way they people peel it?
Que lindo atención al cliente
Gracias
You have to try ciruelos ice cream
Where can I find that?
@@ayngelina hi . ciruelos are called ovos . You can get only at north of Quito. Ibarra. But ask for helados de paila
Next time you're in Cuenca, you can showcase some of the more unusual fruits in the mercados there.
In August I Have a 10 de Agosto market video and I show some things that are quite different but when I come back it's a good excuse to do another fruit video as I do love them.
Im from Manta Ecuador!! You need to try ceviche de camaron
Keep watching my videos, I have lots of ceviche and a video specifically on Manta huecas
@@ayngelina thats my hometown , we are known as costeñeos. Awesome thank you for visiting our gorgeous country
It was my pleasure, in the end I created over 100 videos
OK, very good with lots of information that I won't remember when I am there in a few weeks. There should be a guide on Ecuadorian fruits. I mean onn one coconut drink (coco loco?) you mention that too much can cause GI problems--but how much? Do you suffer the same effects on the coconut (buried for X months) drink? How much is in the first coconut drink? Too many questions... that is why a guide would be good.
Hahaha well a doctor would probably answer those questions better than a guide. That said, coconut giving you the runs really depends on the person. So I think one coconut water a day is fine, but some people go crazy on the beach and have like 5, which is excess consumption of potassium, and can cause the runs in some people. For the coco loco I would be more worried of getting drunk first, everything in moderation!
no body on the andes called like it the bananas, jahahah they got you ! jjaja
Donde vives?
@@ayngelina ecuador my friend trust me
😁
this is west of Guayaquil of E40?
Can we chat I want visit ecaudor
If you're looking for visa information I'm Canadian so I can't help with that. But if you're looking for Ecuador travel tips I share everything I know at BaconIsMagic.ca/Ecuador
Me parece que la banana grande (jajajajaja) se llama maqueño.
De verdad?
@@ayngelina Por lo menos en mi familia le conocemos así, ese otro nombre no lo escuche antes ;)
Can u do street food and prices of Ecuador?
Absolutely I'm in Quito and it's on my list. Although Ecuador doesn't really have street food the way you'd see in places like Mexico. It's much more common to go to a Hueca, which means hollow and it signifies a hole in the wall restaurant. Huecas usually serve traditional food, have cheap prices and they are judged for their aji or "hot" sauce. I say "hot" because outside the coast it is usually medium or mild. I have a video on huecas in Cuenca and include all the costs. Quito usually has a bigger street food scene but not sure what it will be like with Covid right now.
@@ayngelina ooohh alright then it’s alright just normal food will do and their prices ,love your vid btw binged it
@@lolhibye7230 oh thank you so much! The next series of videos is from the coast so I have lots of fantastic seafood
@@ayngelina that would be greaaattt would love to see their prices too
My country got the best fruits
There's nothing like bananas in Ecuador
@@ayngelina yeah we do have the best banana
Is fruit and vegetables there organic?
Some, not all. But pesticides are expensive and so farmers try to use as little as possible. Being certified organic is too expensive for a lot of small producers but the organic producers are known.
@@ayngelina appreciate you. Hope to see you in Ecuador.
LO QUE LLAMAN CIRUELAS, ES TAMBIEN CONOCIDAS COMO OBOS.
Interesante. En cual región?
@@ayngelina ACA EN QUITO SI SE PIDE COMO OBOS, EN EL SECTOR DE LA PROVINCIA DE IMBABURA, EN EL CHOTA.
Wow! I like how she eats fruits. Is she single?
Hahaha thank you.
Lol
Wonder if fruit and vegetables tainted with pesticides, and GMO like in America???
Ecuador has banned GMOs to protect its biodiversity.
@@ayngelina May God bless you richly.
They called it rompe culo cuss is thick lol hahahhaah
Oh I had no idea!
I love how you look with your lips wrapped around that banana, I bet you are fun !
Indian mangoes are best
Yes they are fantastic
The green mango is just a unripe mango 😅
Not all mango’s around the world turn yellow. This one stays green on the outside even when ripe.
@@ayngelina 🤤
You know how to get the clicks 😉😈😈😈
Haha what do you mean?
@@ayngelina well dont get upset lol but the thumbnail certainly gets a guy thinking 😈😉😉😉
@@martinezjames83 it was supposed to be of the cacao as I find that the most interesting but I couldn't get a good screen shot.
@@ayngelina ohh. Its a MAGNIFICENT screen shot. We love it 😈
When I buy bananas in the U.S. they don't have any seeds in them. Are they messing with fruits in America? No seeds in bananas ??????
Bananas don't have seeds we can see. They are contained within the flesh of the fruit. I had to look that one up 😂
You have missed all the best fruits.... Vana vana, maracuya
Maracuyá wasn’t in season at that time but what is vana vana
Or do you mean guanábana/ soursop
Esas frutas no son específicamente ecuatorianas , las puedes encontrar en varios países alrededor del mundo , para no decirte que en todos , no solo en Latinoamérica 😂 o acaso no has viajado a más ningun país? 😂😂
No existe ninguna fruta que sea exclusivamente ecuatoriana y las frutas más populares en Sudamérica provienen de Centroamérica y Asia.
The coconut juce I don't like
Too sweet for you?
