- Hi, I'm Jazzmyne.
- Hey, I'm Chris Reinacher.
- Hi, I'm Rie.
- And I'm Kelsey Impicciche.
- And today we're gonna be taste testing exotic fruits.
(upbeat music)
- My personal relationship with fruit is a strong one.
- Fruit and I go way back.
- I love fruit.
- What's your favorite?
- Peach.
- Oh yes, I love peaches.
- Yeah, it's in season. - Pineapples.
- I always love a raspberry.
Raspberry is, in my opinion, the perfect fruit.
- Raspberry, if you give me a bowl
of raspberries, they're gone.
- Yeah. - It's game over.
- The things that I don't like,
I don't like cantaloupe, and I don't like melon.
- The most unique fruit I've ever had.
- The most unique fruit.
- Really? - I've had a starfruit before.
- Yeah, I think that's one that I've had too.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I feel like all the most unique fruits that I've had,
I've never known what they were while I was eating it.
- I feel like starfruit is the most exotic fruit I've had,
but maybe it's just because the name sounds fun.
- Starfruit is pretty dope.
- Let' try the first fruit.
- I'm nervous.
- I have no idea what these are.
- I've had these, these are so good!
- I don't know what they are, don't tell me.
- There's a seed in it, in the middle, right?
- You're ruining this for me!
I'm trying to discover it.
This looks like a sea anemone.
- What are those, sea urchins?
- (laughing) Sea urchins are not fruit, Jazz.
Is it rambutan?
Yes. - Wow!
- Yeah, but it's creepy!
- It is so creepy, it looks like it moves.
- Touch it.
- No!
(laughing)
(exclaims) I don't want to.
- Wow.
- These look like a fuzzy friend.
- The world is so exciting.
- Should I just cut it apart?
- Yeah, maybe.
- It's hard.
- I'm really like, this thing's alive.
- Whoa!
- It's a heart, it's like a grape inside.
- What?
- I forgot, sorry.
- It has a hat?
- Now it has a hat.
- Wow.
- Look, you match!
- It's almost like a lychee.
- Does this work for you?
- In what way?
- Like, is it cool?
- You're gonna be the official taste tester,
and then I'm gonna taste it after you taste it.
- Okay.
- I just wanna eat my fruit, I don't wanna play with it.
- That's not what this video's about.
- Wow, this texture, not my thing.
- Texture, grape-like.
It's like skinned grape.
Taste, mild, mild flavor.
Sweetness is nice, nice sweetness.
- Oh, I already ate it.
- Yeah, is it good?
- Mm! - Yeah?
- Mm-hmm!
- Okay, it's not bad.
It's very light.
- It almost tastes like a pear.
- I'm confused.
A skinned grape is a good way to describe it.
It's slimy, it's fun. - I want another one.
- This experience is fun, but I don't know
if the taste is worth it, it's just fine.
- It's just really, really light.
- It's got a different sweetness than a grape does.
Grape has a little bit more tang.
A little, not a ton.
- I think if I had kids,
I would buy it and be like, let's play with the fun fruit.
(laughing)
- I think you're eating this for the game.
You're not eating this for the flavor of it.
You're eating this 'cause it's fun.
- I disagree, I like the flavor.
- You like the flavor?
- Yeah.
- I wouldn't get this at the grocery store, no!
- I kinda would, 'cause they're fun.
- Get a grape!
'Cause they're fun, not 'cause they're good!
- All right, let's try the next one.
I'm scared.
- Ooh, I've had this fruit.
- This is exciting, you--
- But I do not know what it is.
Wait, dragon fruit, I knew it, ha ha!
- Do you know what that is?
- Is this dragon fruit?
- [Camerawoman] It is.
- Yay! - Oh.
- I'm nailing it.
- I've only seen the insides of theses.
- I thought dragon fruit was pink.
- Wow, you've had a--
- I've had a lot of weird fruit.
- I realize that I am not well-versed in fruits.
I thought I was a fruit boy,
but maybe I'm not a fruit boy.
(gasping)
- Ooh, it's a yellow dragon fruit.
- It's the one you were talking about, white and speckle.
- Yeah.
- It's beautiful!
- This is pretty, so pretty.
- Yeah.
- Like, now I recognize this,
but I didn't recognize this squash-looking thing
from the outside.
- So I've eaten one of these, but it was pink.
It wasn't yellow.
- Yeah.
I feel like I've never had it by itself.
It's always in a smoothie.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Oh yum.
- I love her. - This is crazy.
I actually didn't expect to have my mind blown this much.
- It's so nice.
- Oh, it's very watermelon-ish.
- Mm-hmm, but not as like, crunch as watermelon.
It's more soft.
- It's like mild, or not tart, kiwi?
- What I like about it, I'm a textures person,
and I like that this is a little chewy,
and you get these little seeds.
- This one's--
- The seeds provide a really nice crunch moment.
You're like, hm!
- Crunch moment.
- Crunch moment, brought to you by--
- Crunch moments, brought to you by dragon fruit.
- Dragon fruit.
I wouldn't--
- Dragon fruit is a dope name, honestly.
Can we talk about that?
- It's not, it's more mild than you would expect
from a thing that is named dragon fruit.
- Oh, I would buy this for sure.
- Me too.
- I don't think I've ever even seen this in a grocery store.
- No.
- Oh, there's only one more?
- There's only one more?
- (gasps) Is this a dragon's egg?
This one's cool.
I don't know if I know this one.
- Hey, I know this.
- I don't.
- Cherimoya.
- It looks almost like an apple pear,
if it was, a dragon birthed it.
- What does it taste like?
- I believe it kind of tasted like pear.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Can I cut this this, would you like to cut it?
- Is cherimoya Spanish for dragon fruit?
Yeah, I haven't cut one open yet.
- Yeah.
- You were lax with your knife.
- I don't know how to cut it though.
It's very hard.
- It's just like a reptile apple.
- I like that.
- If the apple was a reptile.
- Okay.
- I don't wanna eat this one.
- I wanna eat it.
- Like, I'm not interested.
- Really?
- No, I'm gonna eat it.
- That's the point of the taste test, my friend.
- Yeah.
- I don't like this, this is like, surprises.
- You don't like surprises?
- No, I'm a very controlling person.
- What?
- Do you wanna try?
- I mean, I guess.
- Cheers? - Cheers.
- Oh, I think it's not ripe.
- Oh, I've heard that this isn't ripe, so.
(laughing)
- This is crazy.
- I can't even describe it.
- I want a ton of new fruits.
This is exciting.
- It's a little bit pear-like, I can admit,
but it's a little thicker than a pear.
- It's usually pasty.
It's usually creamy and sweeter.
- Yeah, is it?
Dang.
- This is the worst way of saying it,
but like a meatiness to it.
- That's not a bad way to say it at all.
- Yeah.
- That's a good way to say it.
- Maybe we'll let this one get there.
I'll take this one, though.
- Me too.
- This one's cute.
- I'd buy it.
- What?
How much money do you have?
- I'm still eating it.
What do you mean?
- You're just buying (bleep) these?
- Just asked a (bleep) question!
- She said would you buy it from the store.
- Yes!
- I'm not going out of my way to buy this (bleep) thing.
- If I saw this in the store, I'd go yeah,
I'm gonna have a fruit moment.
- I'm pretty standard in what I like, you know?
I don't try a lot of new things.
I was really nervous for this video.
But I like these.
This is a little controlled.
I think I would try this next time.
- I would 10 out of 10 eat all these fruits again,
and I wanna discover even more fruits.
I'm excited that there are still fruits
that I have not yet tasted.
- Those are not my choice to buy,
but now I kind of want to buy because it's pretty.
- It's so good.
- Yeah, pretty and tasty.
- If you're really gonna go to the store
and you have all these options, here's what you do.
This is fun for a second, not that good though.
It's fine.
- This is exciting on the outside,
not that cool on the inside.
- This, grab a bunch.
Grab, I don't know what of a collection
of dragon fruit is called, a gaggle of dragons?
- Oh, yes.
- A draggle?
- A draggle.
- Grab a draggle of dragon fruits,
because these things are worth it.
