Looks like I'm long over due for another top ten video on weirdest looking fruit.
Here's an ancient one: czcams.com/video/hJxNQqpEbK0/video.html
"Make your own joke there" unlocked a part of my mind I never knew existed
.
Damn I feel bad for your male anatomy then 🙄🙄🙄. Jkjk xD
Tom Nook: they smell like watermelon, they taste like watermelon... yep! They’re 100% watermelon!
If it walks and quacks like a duck…
That was surprising. I was expecting something like tamarind
Emily Warner same
I felt the same way...and then I looked up tamarind's actual genetic stuff...did you know tamarind is part of Fabaceae (Fava Bean family)? So Tamarind has a lot more in common with lentils than it does with this fruit. I've been eating tamarind for decades without ever knowing that. I always thought the tamarind pod looked similar to a pea pod...and now I know why.
@@HaydenX Look at black and honey locust trees. They are very similar to tamarind. They are all in the same family, even though they are in a different genus.
same
i had a russian blue cat growing up named rasputin, cant say i ever saw him poop blue tho
chairshoe81 is....
is he still alive?
RA RA RASPUTIN LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN, THERE WAS A CAT THAT REALLY WAS GONE
RA RA RASPUTIN, is dead. Why does everyone still seem to talk about him so much? In multiple countries.
Niko Kareno cuz it’s a fucking song
What a great name for a cat 🤣
Growing up my Dad was a produce was manager and loved bring home strange and exotic fruits and veggies home for us to try. Thank you for bringing my childhood memories alive on a global scale. We grew up with the motto, you cant say you dont like something unless you have tried it.With every video I find myself researching the health benefits, where and how I can purchase it and how I can use it in my life. Thank you
This sounds like it would make a great ice cream flavor!
Contrary to some risqué comments I think dead man's fingers is a pretty spot on name.
"Do it with people that you like, and you'll probably be a-okay." Life advise from the fruit dude.
This actually looks more like a tamarind, except, y'know, blue.
So it's related to akebia, the outside look like a mix of a bean and tamarind, the pulp inside look like passion fruit, but smell and taste like watermelon.
The shape might be disturbingly lumpy, but the color and scale pattern are pretty cute.
Sounds much tastier than the Dead Mans Fingers I’ve eaten before ..... y’know , the other kind ...
Oh...oh no
Ahhhhhh I’m scared

@@johngonzalez3634 a redditor that watches a fruit channel, may i say i am surprised?
😳😳
I bet if this was a more common fruit 10 000 years ago it would be three time bigger with way tinier seeds
I am from India, and yes we use this especially in curry,
It looks like tamarind
that's interesting do you add the seeds with the pulp? is the curry sweet in the end?
Where in India have you seen this used and how is it prepared? I know it grows along the edge of the Himalayas, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and China. Very curious how you have seen it used
You guys use anything for curry
what is the name of this fruit ?? Naam kya he iska bhai ??
"It looks like slime, but it's snot."
"Sorry guys if you're under 13 you shouldn't be watching this" 😂😂😂
I’m 10 I don’t care
@@nopeexe2740 It's a joke KID
Nhung Vo oh look a stupid kid who doesn’t understand a joke
@@cheesed-kun8445 Dude don't be such a loser
Danny57589 Channel I lied
I thought they were like bean pods, then we saw the closeup of their texture & shape... not beans! I really enjoy seeing things that I didn't know existed and would have otherwise thought were 'original creations' when making up alien planet fruits and plants.
I love you, please keep making more videos. Love your personality and whole concept.
Lots more on the way!
@@WeirdExplorer yay! btw I've been following you for years, I'm so very proud you got smartereveryday as a patron!! Keep it up!
Reminds me of a Tamarind.
My exact thoughts
Me too
I refuse to harvest fruit from dead people.
The lardizabala biternata is also from the same order as decaisnea, akebia, holboellia, sinofranchetia and stauntonia ( in the order of ranunculales)
And it's from Chile and it's quite rare outside of it,
It's called coguil
Zabala its interesting because its a vine that mimics the leaves of the trees it grows on.
wow.. thats a cool looking one.. I need to get to Chile
So we actually grow this one here at the nursery from seed imported from Chile. We've been selling plants for the last year, but sadly we haven't had fruit set yet. If we can get fruit off of our vines we will definitely send some to Jared to try! I've heard they're quite good.
@@WeirdExplorer If you're ever back in Washington State, you're welcome to browse our Chilean Garden.
@@wanderlustnursery
Do you now how to grow them from seeds? I'm very interested to grow them
Wow, super interesting, amazing appearance, so rare to find blue like that in nature, can't wait to try that. Be healthy and safe in the Apple.
Steven Perry ...I wondered about the same sometime ago. Glad to see that blue fruit do indeed exist.
I wonder where I can get some seeds or maybe a keiki/baby/bebe for our farm..
🤔
72marshflower15 blueberry:am I a joke to you
Blueberries are purple
hahahah! "dead man's fingers" awfully fitting. xD In the oceans around my area there is a species of sea sponge that is fairly common. We call it "Dödmanshand" (Dead man's hand) as it looks like a pale and bloated persons' hands and fingers if one gets pulled in your fishing nets or if you by chance manage to hook one on your fishing lure. This is a sea sponge and is inedible, so not quite the same thing. But I made that connection due to the morbid nature of the name. Greetings from Sweden! :D
I'm bingewatching this chanel. This is seriously a series of videos I didn't know I needed 😂
Woah that's so cool that smarter every day is one of your main patreon supporters! A good channel with great taste haha
I can't believe I found this channel. This is like perfect, I love trying to find new fruits and have always gone out of my way to do so. I knew I wasn't alone. Awesome channel dude.
I kept waiting for Jared to refer to the pattern as reticulated.
anthonyeleven1 next: weird snake explorer
@@PedanticAntics lol a fellow python lover eh?
I would so cultivate this in a food forest because it sounds like a fun & delicious fruit! ALSO SPOOKY FRUIT
Ooh, I've been waiting for you to review this one for a while!!!
I’ve been watching you for over 3 years now and I love your content
Awesome video, been a fan of your channel for a long time, much love ♡
Had a Russian Blue, can’t confirm the blue poop. 😅 He was the sweetest kitty I ever knew though, my childhood best friend, Rest In Peace Shadow Kitty. 💙🌈🐈⬛
What an interesting fruit!
Sounds like this could make an amazing jam - so glad I found this channel!
I've been thinking about growing this for a while. I'll have to give it a try!
Its a cool one for sure.
3:31 Blue Waffles...
This channel needs a million plus subscribers
Sounds fairly interesting...
This reminds me of limber capers, a similar looking bean pod that grows in the Florida Keys. The also look like fingers, and the inside is bright red with white beans that make it look like bones in flesh. I am not sure if they are edible but they sure are weird. My nickname for them was zombie finger bean.
Nice to have an exotic fruit featured that is hardy enough to grow here in the UK, a Decaisnea is on my shortlist to get here to try......I already have 2 Akebia quinata vines, hoping to get some fruit off them. Curiously of course they are a similar colour sausage shaped fruit.
What an interesting looking fruit thanks for showing us.
hi Weird Explorer, I just started watching your videos a week or so ago and I'm hooked! I love your enthusiasm and knowledge... and your passion for weird fruits is contagious!! i also think you just seem like a very down-to-earth, cool guy. 10/10 channel my friend :)
looks like you caught the weird fruit explorer bug, hes got absolutely hundreds of fruit tried in the past, some quality can be worse than others but its about the fruit i say.
@@Dockhead i did indeed catch the weird fruit explorer bug. "it's about the fruit I say" lmao
The Chinese name is actually Mao Er Shi. The "Shu" part means genus.
I must try this.
Looks like a fruit from Xen.
Doing God's work.
Hey just found your channel and loving it :) keep up the awesome content
lol the birds and the bees
thank you sir
When u said smel i was expecting something gross hahaha 😂😂
Some day a scientist is going to want to study this man's gut flora.
It looks like a blue tamarind.
Same observation
Yay for edible ornamentals!
That's a pretty sofa
Cool fruit
where i am, in the fall every single day the rotten ones fall on the ground, and the wind spreads the rotten fruits everywhere. Its gross
really bizarre looking fruit 👌🏻
ooo i herd of this never seen it in person
Woah, I want to try it
Wow that’s crazy. Now I wanna try it 😭
Gatorade makes a watermelon /cucumber sports drink . It's very refreshing .
There is a mushroom called Dead Man's Toes, they aren't toxic, but they are woodlike, and typically inedible.
Really interesting one, how evolution ended up with that color... maybe some specific animal eat them and disperse the seeds?
It has less of evolution and more of human selective breeding
Wow great content
And yes it looks similar to yellow dragon fruit insides
Snap dragon fruit
3:21 that actually reminds me of the movie Dreamcatcher ha
I wonder if my wife, who is very allergic to watermelon, could safely try these.
deadman'sfingers are also what are known as a crab's gills.
I saw these in a botanical garden years ago. I never knew they were edible. I also found a local nursery that carries the plants, so maybe this year I'll plant one.
Blue sausage fruit! So glad you got to try some. I wonder if there are different strains, the ones I've seen were much much bluer and fragrant .
Look at it!
Nice as USUALLY 👍🏆😘
very nice i heard of that nursery from ciscoe morris on king 5 and evening magazine when i get things going much better i plan on getting some of these as well.
I'd love to try that, though I'm not a huge fan of watermelon.
Good thing you put the scientific name. As an amateur mycologist I thought you were going to eat Xylaria polymorpha, which is a fungi also called dead man's fingers.
As an amateur anthropologist I thought he was going to eat some _Homo sapiens,_
as an amateur nobody i thought it looked pretty cool and had no clue of anything educational wise so i thought he was going to eat bread
That's really interesting.
But have you ever tried ice cream beans?
😈
saw this growing in a park in seattle a while back, not ashamed to say i tried some. slimy, but pretty good!
Blue watermelons? That’s the perfect fruit baby!!
I sure hope you are collecting all those incredible seeds or donating them to the botanical gardens , they could start a little weird fruit explorer garden in your honor
At highland park in Rochester NY, the home of the famous lilac festival, there is a fantastic collection of plants and you can find this plant in a section that has jujube as well.
It looks like those purple things hanging from the ceiling in Mumbo's house from Banjo Kazooie
Didnt think of that...it does!
Mumbo jumbo homie
Such an oddly satisfying channel. I'm not sure what CZcams rabbit hole lead me here, but I'm happy it happened. I'm studying mechanical engineering, and never thought if care about fruit. But damn I love your videos
a lot of difference in quality on videos from past, but the absolute variety of fruits out there is astonishing.
Hello from Bahrain again :/ being in quarantine in Bahrain is kinda fun :/
its almost like a primeval banana
Those look like Blue Tamarind. Very interesting.
I love your videos. You are kind of an apex herbivore. And that couch rocks!
Apex herbivore would be a great DJ name
Yes the generations of fruits and future of the fruit biz and denominations and also have you thought about flavors and philosophy of the fruit
I was thinking along the lines of "passionfruit beans"
You should try the black melon
see if you can get a hold of spanish tamarind (Vangueria madagascariensis) which isnt really a tamarind.i had a bush when i was a kid. never have been able to find them after i left the islands. If you do make sure to let them go completely brown before trying. theyre not good if you dont.
Christopher A those are great
HAHAHAHA too cool. this is awesome!
Epic
About the individual dominations and virtues and morals of the fruit
You should really get your hands on the cane fruits. They're really sour, but they got this scally cover on them that give them a unique look that people at my place use them as show piece😄
The pattern on its skin reminds me of the dry skin I get on my legs in the winter
"Mow arr sure shoe"
I love this plant, wanted to get seeds. I like your fruit videos, i wish to try alot of them also but idk. How to get them in eu.All the best.
I've only ever had an unripe one which was harder to open. It tasted like cucumber with an off-flavor I attribute to the unripeness
4:21 I was thinking the same thing, that fertility looking fruit needs to be spooned!
I have this plant , it's about four feet tall, fairly young. I live south of Chicago.
Looks like passionfruit inside
