Spanish tip: to pronounce dulce, there is no "ch" sound. The C sounds like an S. That recipe basically calls for sweetening the fruit with sugar which is why the recipe is called dulce de babaco. Anyways thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

The babaco I have had were a different flavour from one end to the other. They ripen from one end and the flavour changes dramatically as they ripen. The ones I had from the supermarket were not as ripe as the one you tried here. The texture was like a juicy small strawberry, except in a one kilo fruit. So juicy, so many flavours from a tropical fruit salad. One of my favourites. Unfortunately, the supermarket does not get them anymore.

I love babaco. When we lived in Ecuador, the only way it was used where we lived was for making juice. Pulp, water, and a little sugar in a blender. It ends up really creamy with a fantastic flavor. One of my favorite juices. It won’t grow well here in Florida unless it’s grafted onto papaya rootstock, due to nematodes.

My aunt managed to grow these in Texas, and my parents were ecstatic to eat some. I think it's one of the fruits they miss the most from Ecuador.

I live in Ecuador and I love this fruit! I recommend to make juice out of it, be sure you use the ripe end of the babaco because it will taste more sour if it's not ripe. Also, I didn't know babaco was an hybrid :0 thanks for the info, your channel is amazing.

I’ve grown babaco here in Melbourne, Australia for many years (not commercially) and I’ve never seen any trace of seeds inside. I’m guessing that the grower has papaya growing nearby and these seeds are a result of a bit of cross pollination : Babaco don’t exist in the wild as they are seedless. -propagation is by cuttings and is easy to do. I’ve read that in Ecuador, they are a common backyard tree and are usually juiced with oranges for flavour balance.

Yeah, it’s super rare for them to have seeds. It almost never happens, any of those seedlings would be a completely different fruit from babaco and be something different depending on the parent. Nate has a big papaya collection and maybe Julie mountain papaya crossed with it or a different species. They would be random crossing over events between a 3 species cross and it’s should be super heterozygous, with lots of mixed traíts from the different parents. Oak leaf papaya or papaya berry could be a parent too, that’s a good one to try. Often interspecies crosses have an odd number chromosomes and it makes them unable to produce offspring with either parent.

Sugar isnt bad for you unless you are diabetic or have a genetic history of diabetes. Diabetes is primarily caused by obesity and not simply eating "too much sugar". Sugar has about the same calories as any other carbohydrate, but is released quicker, so can make you eat more than you normally would, but thats about it. Of course drinking sugar is probably a bad idea simply due to the calories in it, again same as stuff like coca cola where its very easy to get too many calories.

The variety of babaco we have in Nz is full of juicy fruit flesh not hollow ☺️thats probably the missing flavour 😊
