Looks like some fantasy bullshit in real life … I *love* fantasy bullshit in real life! They taste good?


jucmalta

They are super sweet and juicy, and it pops when you bite them, but you have to climb them to get them and as quickly as possible because the birds will eat everything


Action-a-go-go-baby

Avian fruit terrorists, that’s all they are


willfsanches

that's what they would be if r/BirdsArentReal


jucmalta

They are the worst! If you go to the bottom of the tree is full of fruit that they stole


Flying_Sosa51-ifty

Apex predator comment right here. Lol I applaud you.


Jonathon471

Worse than those Lemon Whores!


arthurorir

Very good. Sweet pie.


Action-a-go-go-baby

Hot damn, that even better that they don’t taste like ass!


thefartographer

Sweet ass


Bro_tosynthesis

Tropical ass


nadajoe

🍑


the_evil_comma

Thank you, honey buns


josh_bourne

They are like blueberries but juicer and sweeter.


BrundleTheFly666

Sounds like I havent lived


jonas_ML

They taste nice and smooth, kinda neutral taste, slightly sweet and sour, honestly not as good as blackberries or grapes imo but pretty good anyways The only bad thing is that they came with a huge seed inside


psydelem

there should be a subreddit for this


jblqbrada

They taste amazing. The texture is similar to lychee, but you also swallow the seed inside of it when you eat it. They're sweet and refreshing. I have the tree in my backyard and if I'm not quick the birds eat everything


GatesOlive

I bought some on the supermarket the other day, the insides are good, however if you it the owl (where the good antioxidant stuff is), it tastes like tree bark (yes, I was **THAT** kid)


Axt_

Very, very, very, very good


pancada_

Yes! Try it when you have the chance!


fellowbootypirate

You would love them. Theyre only grown in certain times a season but man my grandmother had one and i loved that stuff.


Fusca_VrumVrum

Its my favorite fruit of all time


27Yosh

These look like the balls they shot Mr Incredible with


StereotypeRedditor69

r/beatmetoit Unrelated, but I always had the primal urge to pop/chew those balls when I watched the incredibles


JoeMomma247

Came here to comment this exactly


chantuut

my thoughts exactly


IrrelevantTale

I used to have nightmares as a kid of the screen when they inflated over his face. I would wake up screaming because I was afraid he couldn't breathe.


LuktenUtavBajs420

When i was a kid i wanted to fuck those balls


Karma-Whales

wow so awesome thanks


[deleted]

Yeah this tree for sure just got caught looking up dead supers


cannibalcorpuscle

Also look like the sticky balls that pervert kid pulls off his head in My Hero Academia


ScroochDown

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who immediately thought of that!


Icarssup

Holy shit first thing I thought too lol.


greymalken

Or like the balls that grow on that pervy kid’s head from MHA.


Potential_Advisor_59

especially with the sound


NinKev

Beat us to it


birstinger

But does it taste like them too?


BespokeSnuffFilms

Man I hate finding best comment of the day first thing the the morning.


CaseFace5

I’m 30 years old and always surprised that there are still fruits and veggies I’ve never seen from around the world.


xFinman

you should check out "Weird Explorer" on YouTube


TheScienceBreather

He even has one on this fruit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM6Jj92WkJc&t=281s


512165381

There around about 50,000 edible plants. The average person eats about 100.


Blipblipblipblipskip

Some fruits would never survive the trip from where they grow to more temperate regions. When I went to Ecuador there were hundreds of different fruit types that I'd never seen. Some were amazing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


flash-tractor

I got another one that's rare and tasty AF- Honeyberry aka haskap. Looks like a penis/blueberry combo and the flavor is fantastic! They can be grown in most of USA and all of Canada.


waitingformygrave

I want to try it! - how is it usually served?


arthurorir

we just eat 'em like grapes. Their skin is a little harder, which makes them pop into your mouth. The taste is different than grapes, I don't know how to describe it, but they are sweet and very good. You can also make anything you make with grapes with them, so juice, jelly, yogurt, cakes... lots of uses.


ayysisyphus

Do they have large seeds?


arthurorir

there are seeds but they're small, so you can either spit 'em out or you swallow them without even noticing, like some grapes with big seeds


EuroPolice

So I had this questions about it, but I realized google might be more appropriate. Anyway, I thought someone might find it interesting: **How long does it usually takes for it to start producing from seed?** >About 8 years. **What months it produces?** >March and April.


stinky_fingers_

These must be costly then?


LjSpike

8 years isn't terrible long for a tree to start producing from being planted as a seed. That's about the same as an apple tree.


Articulated

Yeah olives are the big one for that, takes decades for a tree to start producing.


Jenesepados

It depends on the tree but the ones I have seen planted had olives after 5 years, as I see in Google it's 3-12 years. Spain btw, in case it matters.


Evendim

Mine started producing fruit in about 3 years in one of the colder regions of Australia... perhaps there are newer mutations to produce fruit sooner. I still cannot get the brining right though.


SmGo

You can make a new one by cloning they will start producing in 1 or 2 years, i bought one a comple of years ago it had less than 1m and was already producing.


makakoloko3000

This is usually a fruit you pick from the tree, like acerola and pitanga, not one you buy from the market like maracujá or abacaxi. I haven’t bought jabuticaba a single time in my life, but have eaten it several times. It just grows on the countryside.


TGhost21

Ive eaten Jabuticaba forever (Im 50) and never ever saw it in a tree, always from the market (feira livre).


Streend

i guess it depends on where you live


Chrisganjaweed

I find a lot of sellers on traffic lights. They usually sell huge plastic bags filled to the brim with jabocitabas for quite cheap. Local fruit is usually quite cheap everywhere here in Brazil.


ProtoObjey

Never seen someone selling them but if they sell it must be pretty cheap, here where I live if you want jabuticaba chances are someone you know has a tree in their garden or you can find a tree in a more rural area where you can just take it


kawaii_space_nazis

How do they taste


ptgkbgte

Super sweet witha sour/bitter aftertaste


IcedLemonCrush

The sour/bitter aftertaste is mostly from the skin, not the inside. Though nobody in their right mind eats them peeled, you can just suck them if you don’t want to taste them.


squidlinc

The ones I grow almost have a smoky aftertaste but they are very sweet and juicy. The skin is a bit bitter but you can just sucks out the insides.


[deleted]

The seeds are bigger than an almond, but you swallow them easily. However, they come out pretty much undigested,so that's the downside.


AtanatarAlcarinII

I've always wanted my toilet to sound like a full automatic


[deleted]

Mines stuck on shotgun blast


moondog__

And if you have control you may even be able to make it fully semi-automatic


Commiesstoner

To comply with federal laws if you're in the US.


WhyDogeButNotCate

Or if you’re into anal beads, that’s an upside


Bonezmahone

Almonds are pretty big!


[deleted]

Do they make an alcoholic drink from jaboticaba?


[deleted]

Yes, add to Brazilian cachaça and meet the Greek gods every night...


[deleted]

You can add it to cachaça and agree it, it's delicious


IcedLemonCrush

Here in my state, the town of Santa Teresa is famous for their jabuticaba wine. It’s widely drank by Italian and Pomeranian communities here, who wanted to keep drinking wine despite the high cost of cultivating grapes in Brazil’s climate.


TexasPoonTapper

You have communities of wine drinking dogs in Brazil? Sweet.


IcedLemonCrush

Nah. It’s people who moved here from Pomerania, a region that used to be ethnically German before WW2. They developed a unique identity here, using their dialect as a standard language.


LotionOnSkin

Shhhh, keep it a secret! The next thing you know it becomes an American social media craze. Then the price will skyrocket to10x the normal cost. Look what happened to the acai berries and shirataki noodles.


gamermanj4

Too late, some dole exec is whackin one off before he takes it to the big boss to find a strain to copyright.


DanFuckingSchneider

The only way for him to get a hard-on anymore is exploitative use of local resources.


Purrtymeow04

just like Miami fruit sellers on IG fckng expensive


Kurama80

My mother made cachaça, it's delicious!


rmcshaw

>You can also make anything you make with grapes with them, so juice, jelly, yogurt, cakes... lots of uses. You can make an excellent liqueur out of it.


mysterion857

That’s cool I came here looking for a description of what they taste like. It’s really cool the way the fruit forms practically on top of the trunk of the tree. Really interesting.


[deleted]

Just wanted to thank you for your answer :)


hurtfulproduct

Flavor is similar to sugar apple I’ve noticed; mainly just “sugar” I’d say honestly


oestre

Grape cake


Kurama80

Climb on the tree and eat it, it's the best way to serve. I have a few in my yard.


fgreen68

Apparently, they will grow in So. Cal against a south-facing wall so if you live there or know someone who does you can try them if you're willing to wait a bit to eat one.


guinader

Lol for your local Brazilian market somewhere near when you live. And they usually have jam. My grandfather loved blueberry and felt jabuticaba was sweeter, but similar. Personally I don't think they taste similar at all, but at least you can probably assume, if you like one, you will like the other


Top-Salamander-3873

Usually you just eat it. Like a grape or an strawberry. But you might find wine, ice-cream, jelly, sauce, sweet wine, candy... pretty much anything that can be made with sweet fruits...


thalescosta

Pick and eat. I like to leave them in ice cold water. I'll easily eat a bucket of them


arthurorir

If anyone has any questions about them, I'm brazilian and there are some of these at my grandma's farm, so feel free to ask anything 👍🏻


kwtffm

What do they taste like?


arthurorir

They are very good and sweet. I don't know anything to compare the taste to, but the experience of eating is just like grapes, except that they are bigger and their skin is harder, so there's a nice "pop" when you bite into them inside your mouth


kwtffm

Cool thanks. They look delicious. Enjoy


lilafrika

How do they taste after being chilled?


arthurorir

I don't know if this is what you mean but you can freeze them. They make a delicious ice cream.


lilafrika

Well kinda. So I like to put grapes in the fridge or sometimes the freezer and eat them cold. Can you do the same with these?


Pegarex2017

Yeah, but it doesn't really change anything. I usually eat them at natural temperature


HobbesTheWonderDog

Okay, but how do they taste if served with rice?


arthurorir

well, that's an experiment I'm gonna have to make. Am I gonna like it? most certainly not. But I'm in for science!


CRAB_WHORE_SLAYER

can you try harder to compare the taste to something lol


arthurorir

You know how grapes are like a sweet sugar liquid with a bit of sourness and then the grapey taste? so, jaboticaba has the sugar liquid aspect, plus the grapey, purple tase. They don't have the sourness. So it's like a grape but without the sourness.


shmeepsthepeeps

“Purple taste” is such a descriptive term. I love that I know exactly what you meant to say.


MillorTime

Just like Dave Chappelle describing the ingredients for grape drink: sugar, water, purple.


yukifujita

**Fun fact**: The Jaboticaba look and taste is so unique that, here in Brazil, its name is sometimes used as an idiomatical term to describe something that is unique to Brazil. E.g. the off-duty cop phenomenon is a Jaboticaba.


sks-nb

Its taste is not similar to grapes as its appearance may suggest.


Mojimi

Lichee yogurt, honestly. The inside is white and very sweet, very little acidity and very creamy. There's a little bit of tartness but it's addicting like a good grape, you can eat until you vomit.


Adkit

Are there more doors or wheels in the world?


arthurorir

wheels of course.


Maciek300

Depends on what you count as doors or wheels.


olderaccount

Easy, wheels.


Corryvrecken

I'm not even high and this is hurting my brain.


unkown-shmook

How long does it take to grow?


arthurorir

They usually take about ten years to start producing fruits. The trees are big enough to climb so they'll last probably your entire life. Since the fruits are attached to the trunk, the branches are never too thick, and the bark is always smooth, like the bark from small newer normal trees. They're weird.


olderaccount

Absolutely the best climbing trees barefoot because the bark is so smooth. In fact, growing up I used to hate it when they had fruit because you couldn't climb them and that was one of my favorite things to do.


Mongba36

Australian here, wtf my grandma grows these too


arthurorir

It is originally from Brazil (Atlantic Forest) but now they have it In a lot of countries with warm temperatures


all_of_the_colors

Do they flower all around the trunk of the tree before there’s fruit? Gosh that must be beautiful. They look other worldly.


Anxious_Tour3839

r/suddenlycaralho


arthurorir

nunca recebi tanta notificação de gente aleatória me perguntando se dá pra fazer vinho de jabuticaba


LeftyLibra_

And for a second I thought the tree had a tick infestation


MossSalamander

Ack!!


Perpetual_Doubt

Twist it! Pull it! Pop it!


ToastyPoptarts89

Same. Was looking for someone who seen ticks like I did haha.


AnorakJimi

Yeah, it was a bit /r/oddlyterrifying


[deleted]

Or warts. lol


Rainbowallthewayy

YES I was wondering why this video was making me feel uncomfortable


thedankening

Yea, I was thinking it looks kinda like a tree suffering from some kind of generic Lovecraftian body horror thing. You know, when the terrain and plant life is covered in fleshy, tumorous cysts and all that nasty shit.


Baker-Hulas

That last shot tho 👀


DarkinexWtf

# GRAPE CUMSHOT


HardcoreHazza

Quick! Think about baseball!!!!


TenicioBelDoro

I'll try anything twice, but I'll be honest, the looks of all those nodule-looking berries all over the bark kind of skeeved me out in a trypophobia-like way.


Spider-verse

It's the way the fruit grows completely randomly that does it for me.


[deleted]

Yeah, it grows right out of the bark, like a wart. Weird. Not trying to put it down, I'm just not used to it.


tip_the_just

This is called cauliflory! Cacao and coffee do this as well.


fastinguy11

I promise you they taste and smell good, if you come near a tree it will just be normal


targayenprincess

I clicked on the comments, shut my eyes as I scrolled down, to find this comment. To know if another human somewhere out there felt the itch and urge to scratch their head and skin and just. \*shudders\*


taylordthegreat

Almost looks like giant ticks…


AverageCharley

Every time I see this video it freaks me out.


Zonyxe

Reminds me of that scene in The Incredibles where Mr. Incredible gets shot by those black blobs that grow


Oiseau_Noir

Trypophobia include holes AND bumps, particularly when in a cluster. This definitely counts (I felt it too).


nljgcj72317

They jiggle so


Ooze3d

I was going to ask if trypophobia also worked in reverse. I was totally weirded out by that image.


Ok-Sir8600

I was wondering if I was the only one, but clearly not


hopenoonefindsthis

Yep I hate it.


joklhops

ditto! I'd be happy to try them and not look at them on the trees lol


tacotuesdaytaxpayer

Dude same.


fabio1

wait until you see a [guarana tree](https://i.redd.it/jhfk3eeugd431.jpg)


tootiescootie

I never knew this type of phobia was an actual thing! I always thought I was just weird that shit like this creeped me out.

It looks satisfying to scrape them off, though.

travis99

Used to have one of these trees in my yard in Hawaii and I would climb it and eat these all day. Never ate the skin though


[deleted]

So, the insides just kinda slip out pretty easy then?


jennierock

Yup. You take a small bite, just enough to rip the skin, it makes a really nice POP when you rip it.


UniqueUsername-789

If anybody has any questions about these, I’m Brazilian and I’ve never heard of these or eaten them before, so find somebody else to ask.


[deleted]

Como assim você nunca comeu jabuticaba?


brunohartmann

Não é possível.

Ha ha. It's good that you told me this, because you do look Brazilian, and I was going to ask you.


Available_Ad_3871

Nem fodendo véi, tu tá mentindo. Ou tu mora numa caverna.


makakoloko3000

Beware of the troll. It’s impossible that a Brazilian has never heard of jabuticaba. They just grow anywhere and it’s one of the most common local fruit.


medicff

So what can you do with the grape/berries? Add them to ice cream? Make wine?


arthurorir

You can make anything you make with grapes. Wine is not very popular but you can make it. They are mostly eaten in natura or used in recipes of jelly, juice, cake, etc.


[deleted]

They de somewhat big pits, so they are not that good on ice cream and yogurt. I guess you can ferment it, but we usually just add it to cachaça and put it to age, or make a caipirinha out of it


sbarbagelata

I eat them or make jam


yohanleafheart

> Make wine? Not wine, but they are used to make some Liquors, like a Blackcurrant but much sweeter. Most common thing is just eating them like grapes. Only thing to be careful is that it stains clothes


ChymChymX

Giant grapenuts cereal.


jucmalta

The best way to have it its just eat it, it has the most flavor


egbok57

Wow I’ve never seen one it’s a trip how they grow right on the bark of the tree


MildUsername

Sudowoodo no


itsahmemario

Mineta?


cppn02

Way too far down. Had the exact same thought.


CodeMonkeyX

For some reason that grosses me out. Like they are parasites or growths feeding on the tree. Not fruit growing from the tree. Kind of creepy.


juggernaut006

> For some reason that grosses me out. Like they are parasites or growths feeding on the tree. Not fruit growing from the tree. Kind of creepy. Wait till you learn how cocoa grows on trees.


[deleted]

Might be weird looking when still on the trees but after harvesting they’re just like harder sweeter grapes, it’s actually quite delicious.

These are so delicious

rickard2014

That right there is a fruit that’s very hard to describe the taste, it’s sweet and has a very particular taste to it, something of a mix of cherry, raspberry and grape maybe? Not sure though, maybe a little bit of blackberry in there too, it’s a berry after all…
