Tasting tropical fruit 🥭🍌🍍

I just spent way too much money on tropical fruit to make myself feel better. So, I planted over 50 fruit trees over the last 5 years in my garden and they're starting to produce pretty well, but the squirrels just absolutely ravaged everything that came into season. So, to make myself feel better, I ordered a bunch of tropical fruit that we're going to sample. All right, first up, we have red guava. One of the most popular subtropical fruits in the world. The smell. >> Oh my god. >> Wow. >> That's perfect. >> Oh my god. That's worth it right there. >> Oh yeah. >> Sweet. Little tangy. I wish I had a guava tree. Next we have the nance fruit. Native to Central and South America. One has like a funky flavor. Kind of cheesy >> on the nose. >> Oh my god. >> Wo. >> What does that taste like? >> It's like caramel with a cheesy funkiness. Not for you. >> Oh my god. >> Next up, we have the Spanish lime. Native to South and Central America. I've heard wonderful things about these. It's got a tartness. Not too much flavor though. >> They're fun to eat. >> All have like slightly different flavor. Fun little snack. Next, we have the sour saw. Found in many tropical regions around the world. Beautiful. Custardy >> inside. Definitely need a spoon for this. >> Smells like fake sour green apple. >> Wow. Yeah. Like a Jolly Rancher. >> Oh yeah, that's so true. >> Wo. >> Wow. >> It tastes like a Jolly Rancher. >> It smells artificial and it tastes artificial. >> Wow. >> It's real tangy. You could process this into some awesome things. Next up, we have the Thai banana. The original cultivar from Thailand. Obviously, much smaller, little chunkier banana. >> And none of that like overwhelming banana smell at all. Really >> much starchier. Probably could be a little bit more ripe for more sweetness. Nothing crazy about the flavor. >> I do think >> would be great for baking. >> I was just going to say that. >> Next up, we have the longan fruit relative to the lychi. Native to southern China and East Asia. >> Wow. >> It's not as sweet as lchi. This might be a wild take, but it's like a little bit smoky. I could just keep eating these all day. >> Finally, since we're making Indian food, I ordered a bunch of fresh tamarind. Oh yeah, look at that. That is perfect. Now, we'll process this into tamarind paste, but you can definitely eat these pods fresh. >> M. They have like a nice state sweet potato flavor. Fantastic. Not too sour.
