what's up everybody we did a video about
Asian snacks and a lot of you guys liked
it but let's get into something a little
bit more organic that's really in right
now
Asian foods one of our first Asian
fruits kumquats
usually you would peel the skin off of
orange before you eat it kumquats you
can actually just bite into them whole
like the size of a grape but the texture
of an orange grape orange comes our
normally I already compiled in a regular
basis but I do have it often in my boba
star fruit it's crazy to me how it's a
perfect star it's like an alien tentacle
if the enemy's attacking them but going
to your brain like whoa snap look at
that hey mama always told me I'd be a
star one day in the stinkiest of them
all the infamous durian durian fight the
porcupine of the Asian fruit world it
has a built-in defense mechanism for
those of you who have had during you
know that it smells a lot worse than it
tastes so what we had to do was bring in
Vietnamese expert Richie Lee are you
ready
whoa this feels like ice cream right now
like it's kind of like anything I've
ever had
like custard fart banana pineapple
custard but it's still good though
agency weird things but is so good
next up mangosteen I had to said
Thailand it's really good
so mangosteen is a really awesome fruit
it's grown exclusively in Asia the
leaves are so hard it's almost like
comical almost feels fate like how hard
it is you like squeezing or something
you got our producer Andrew here for the
Queen David mangosteen god save the
queen
passion fruit a lot of you guys are
familiar with the flavor of passion
fruit but how many of you guys have
actually seen a real passion fruit I
don't know if we're cutting this
properly whoa guts hold up hold up can
see why they keep it a flavor oh I think
that gave it a nice name because they
knew it looked really weird on the
inside the little sour it's a lot of
juice and a lot of seeds I could really
see this doing well in a smoothie or a
drink need some passion in your life get
some passion fruit just so you think
that we're not wasting fruit we actually
have a guy on the side named Tim who's
eating all of the leftovers longest the
word longan is actually in Cantonese
long ongoing audience dragon eye it's
really easy to get these confused with
leeches but they're actually a little
different I just remember eating these
growing up and just being like yo this
tastes hella Asian palm hello I'm open
I'm open
na I'm Paul Melo Anthony basically the
Paul Melo is like the Asian grapefruit
you can't hurt on Paul mellows feelings
they got thick skin it's not as sour as
a grapefruit actually ah dragon fruit
this is a very expensive fruit about
eight bucks really juicy a lot of little
seeds you can eat this actually has a
very light taste it's not super sweet
it's not super sour it's really soft
actually it's really tender
jackfruit the can weigh up to like 20
pounds each though this one weighs about
10 pounds and they make good jackfruit
chips actually I think we just cut it
wrong it was supposed to be cut down
this way see I don't know if we're
cutting it right at all pull the meat
out right here that's crazy it's like an
escape pod just it's a little chewy but
I like it cause it's kind of like a
mango wish foolish I don't know it's
good though next up the Korean pear aka
the pad the key to remember is the
cellophane wrapping this is huge
the Western pear is actually a lot
softer and this is actually really
crunchy you're gonna get this or oranges
for a dessert after a Jameel we don't
eat ice cream refreshing mmm
next up these little hairy creatures
rambutan two three actually it's the
softest kinda melts in your mouth a
little tart
has a similar consistency of like
mangosteen this is of the same family as
lychee and we were gonna do lychee but
it's out of season so we couldn't get it
do not eat the skin or the seeds they
could be bad for you people that's
really sweet
good nose good I would say it's a
mixture between a banana a papaya a
pineapple all mushed together if you're
used to eating a banana this is a nice
switch up

weekly allotment of vitamin C most of
