    I remember as a kid adults putting us in the back of a station wagon and throwing a couple of stalks of sugar cane for us to chew while we were driving to relatives. It was very 70's southern.

    We have sugar cane growing south of me, in australia. I always know when there harvesting because they burn it and everywhere, black burnt bits float everywhere…

    is sugarcane considered a fruit? Come on Ebers you’re so precise.

    Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is neither a fruit nor a vegetable; it is a type of tall, perennial grass belonging to the Poaceae family.

    A room sized pool of molasses is a sight to see- as a teen, our class was taken on a school tip to a rum factory that makes arguably Australia’s most famous local rum- “Bundaberg (Bundy) Rum”
    Fascinating tour- sadly (for some reason😱😇) we weren’t allowed to sample the Arum at the end of the tour!

    Sugar cane = bundy rum

    I live in far North Queensland Australia and we have sugar cane growing all around us. Use to steal some as kids.

    The inside of mangosteen looks like white mandarin orange slices to me.

  13. @mamabear5425

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    grew up with grandparents sugar cane farm. very nostalgic for me. definite smells , black ash when burning, called it burdekin snow. northern tropics. australia.

  14. @LadyMiir

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Rewatching this and I visibly winced when the boys bit the mangosteens! Never never do that, it tastes horrific. The best way to open those is put it between your palms and use the heels of your hands to squeeze them open.

  15. @kristelfiore1330

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Omg soursop it’s delicious 🤤😋👌👌👌👌👌 it’s super sweet and tasty 😋 in Spanish the name is guanábana (wa-na-ba-na) in juices 🥤 milkshakes icecream taste so gooooooooood

  16. @ilicarriedoll2843

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    The moment I saw Ebbers make Mike and Ben eat manggis/mangosteen just like that, I know he really went down to hell AHAHAHAHAHA OMG EBBERS!! Hey! Hello to my country Malaysia fruit!

  17. @azurio3182

    star fruit, is fun so are ugly fruit

    I live near a lot of sugar cane farms, and at our local markets there is a guy who has a manual press and he sells a sugarcane drink … which… YUM!! (Although the down side is until recently, there were certain periods of the year where we would get ash raining (very sparsly) on us, because the cane fields were being burnt – they now harvest them green and actually use the burning process to make power for the grid – very cool)

  20. @amanda7263

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    That paw paw tirade Ben did was AMAZING! Lmao!

  21. @ahmadfaezuddin177

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    3 of them were actually local here in malaysia. You can get sugar cane ( as juice ) easily during ramadhan, mangosteen during fruit season ( usually june untill august ) along with other fruit like rambutan and durian. And you can find fresh sour sop usually at farmer's market . It dont really have any particular season. Fresh mangosteen skin was actually very soft and not rock hard like that. The yellow sap and its pinkish juice on its skin was very very staining. Once it get to your clothes, its almost impossible to completely remove it.

  22. @F_M20

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    6:11 in my country Indonesia we called it Sirsak. we make juice with it, it taste sweet and a tad of sour. very refreshing.

  23. @zodoGames

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    In Florida that is not an exotic fruit lmao

  24. @throngamer6558

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    sugar cane you need to peel it away really deep and soak it in water to give it a more juicy taste and the sweet will be even better trust me in my country if we see someone is soaking sugar cane we know it is going to be good and putting on ice to chill it down we would be there all day eating and also it clean your teeth too as an extra

  25. @isobelmatheson8036

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I live in Andalusia and sugar cane is grown all around my pueblo. We have a (now closed) processing factory on the outskirts. But miel de caña/honey of the cane AKA molasses are still produced locally.

  26. @cbmlaura

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Soursop is common in southeast asia too. i just had half of the same size last nite. yuuuuuuumm. lots of fibre.

  27. @glossaria2

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    This was cool. I've had sugar cane like that (and I agree that it's like chewing on a sweet stick of wood). I've heard that it's also used in cooking, and I'd be intrigued to see what can be done with it (does cooking soften it?)

    The cucamelons are adorable and look like they'd make amazing and fun pickles.

    I've had (and love) cherimoya, but not sweet- or soursop or jackfruit. I never realized they were all related– I'm going to have to hunt down some of the others.

    And I've had lychee, longan, and rambutan, but I've never been able to get my hands on mangosteen. Another one for my foodie bucket list!

  28. @ayojdebba1389

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I'm from South Africa and my grandfather used to take me to a sugar cane field and we used to walk around and eat the sugar cane just like that

  29. @danangabimanyu1286

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Maybe next you should try pomelo, star fruit, papaya, and rambutan

  30. @hilary5088

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I’m not sure if it’s been tried yet but black sapote would be interesting to see the guys try. It’s also known as the chocolate pudding fruit.

  31. @suzettewright1609

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I'm from Jamaica we make a drink from soursop….simpler to the stinking toe punch. Always add rum

  32. @a_lethe_ion

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    soursop look like cherimoyas but even better. i need to try em. mangosteen are amazing and one of my fave fruits. sad theyre not really available here. also your mangosteen are too old.
    they should have a sheen, if they get dull theyre already too old. like more like an eggplant than.. a tree bark

  33. @pjiratip

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Me cringing so hard when they just bite into the mangosteen. Then I saw the smirk on Ben’s face 😂 pure evil

  34. @smeac1990

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    So, Australia is the fourth largest exporter of raw sugar and grows huge amounts of sugar cane. The local markets in my town will have people pressing sugar cane to sell the juice. So if you're looking for sugar from a less exploitative source, there should be Australian sugar and or cane available. There's nothing like the smell of a town when they're making sugar when you put the windows down while waiting 10 minutes for a cane train.

  35. @TomOConnor-BlobOpera

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I actually grew Cucamelons in my greenhouse a year or two ago. Surprisingly easy to grow, vines that take over everything.

  36. @magnificent6668

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    North American paw paws are much better than soursops. They can vary in flavor, but typically taste like mango & banana mixed.

  37. @ScottRoche

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I love guanabana soda.

  38. @o0fallingleaf0o

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    These are all my favourite fruits for real! Especially fresh SourSop juice I had in Singapore and always eat Mangosteen during Summer and you can pair it with durian😚😚💖

  39. @thanhnamledinh9418

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    I don’t know what type of soursop is in it. But in Vietnam, when it’s ripen, it’s lest sour but actually coming to be sweet. Really enjoyable.

  40. @emilycreager2269

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    You should do loquats! They have like an orange-y apricot-y flavor! They're often used as an ornamental tree in TX, and the fruit makes some of my favorite jam!

  41. @totallybritishinmtymx7717

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Soursop/Guanabana is also grown here in Mexico.
    Try saying Guanabana without thinking of the Muppets.

  42. @cucuqudangcomel

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Mangosteen trees banyak dekat belakang rumah emak kat kampung. Sedap masam manis.

  43. @killmory

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    if you can get your hand on kiwiberries, they are absolutely amazing

  44. @raideurng2508

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    "It's BITREX" Barry is scarred from that bit.

  45. @jerseyzexi3091

    January 27, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    This is quite common in china. It is good(sugar cane)
