    I have not tasted all of them yet, Lucs, Russel Sweet next on my list. I think the Purple and Achacha are pretty equal. Maybe leaning towards Achacha because it's much easier to grow and the tea from the skins is amazing as well 😀

    Our home in the Marshall Islands is packed with PANDANAS. They can spread by floating over the ocean to Islands, which is ideal for a nation made of atolls. Second only to the coconut, pandanas are essential to life on these resource poor Islands as they can provide for so many of our needs. I lived in a thatch house made of pandanas for a while which stayed cool in the summer and warm in the winter by "breathing" with the weather around us. It was also a work of art, looking at how it was stitched together was mesmerizing. As to the issue with eating the fruit, you can gnaw on the individual grenades when they are hard and unforgiving and are guaranteed to give you furry teeth . Or you can throw them in a pot of water and boil them. For many of the children in this region, including my own, boiled böb which had its soft flesh scraped out, ate this pudding like food as their first baby food after nursing. Very nutritious and high in vitamins C&E particularly . I honestly miss this lovely plant

    I tried a green Elephant Mango from an Asian super market. It was a green unripe fruit, A one pound mango. It was a bit crunchy but slightly sweet . And no tartness at all. Have you tried it? I aim to sprout the seed. They say if the fruit has an "S" shape then it has a poly embeyonic seed. Meaning if it germinates, it might be able to produce the exact same characteristic fruit. Can hardly wait.🥱

  • @mytropicalfruitforestlife
    @mytropicalfruitforestlifeАй бұрын

    Yes I have a couple times. They are in the 'savoury' box not sweet and not bitter. Great if you want to pickle or put them in salads. They're also a bit expensive compared to the sweeter smaller varieties so I over look them a little. Good luck on the germination, I did not know about the S shape theory, let me know how it goes :)

    But in Australia Market shop picked too early, the mangoes are not yet fully ripe. the mangoes taste not really delicious, sweet and not full flavour example R2E2 mango the biggest fruit can be 600g1kg very very sweetness if you correct out enough i was very lucky i have nearly 600g last year, on your video not even 300g, they are young fruit still . My eating Khiew Sawoey Thai green mango I have a little cry not even flavour yet to young but people here say so yummy if you go eating from your own tree pick on time you say the same I am , sometime mango taste like a water even though popular name on the market

    I just acquired a Pandanus Amaryllifolius, from our Modesto Junior College Agricultural program in Central Valley of California. It has a beautiful light green foliage, and the tag says it is edible. I'm looking forward to seeing how this grows! It tells me full to partial sun, and I am hoping our hot climate will be good for it.
