    "... Also known as Starefrut." You made me snort while I was drinking!
  • @LordMazafeff
    As a native Tagalog speaker, his pronunciation of balimbing both horrifies and delights myself.
  • I just wanted to say thank you for the the information at the beginning of the video regarding starfruit and kidney disease.. I love to eat starfruit, I have been eating it my whole life.. As a kid we had starfruit growing in peoples yards in South Florida.. Now that I am older, I have kidney disease due to complications from a surgery last year.. I have not had starfruit since that surgery and thanks to your information I will stay away from it... Thank you...

    I’ve always described starfruit’s taste as how you’d imagine “fruit” to taste if you’ve never eaten any kinda fruit before and someone tried to explain fruit to you
  • @gtametro
    nearly spit my coffee out when you said stair frut
  • @coco19977
    His humour is so underrated. So subtle and able to deliver it with a poker face. I could never. I love it! Honestly stair freight made me laugh so hard
  • @aR0ttenBANANA
    Finally someone showing the fruit being eaten at the proper time
  • I laughed when you drew the angry face on the methoxybenzene functionality of the toxin
  • @Kikilang60
    I'm still thinking of the person who said, 'You are nice looking young man, and you're good at discribing fruit.' Hard to argue with your gradmother.
  • @rachel4483
    Thumbs up for "ster frut". Now my 5&7yrold boys are running laps around my bedroom repeating your pronunciation. Too many more of those and your channel could rank up there in the favorite list with "you suck at cooking".
  • We had a friend with a star fruit tree and we were given two big bags of mostly unripe green/yellow fruit. I loved it and ate a whole bunch in one setting and than coughed up blood. Ever since if I have anything with star fruit in it my throat starts swelling. I suspect it has something to do with the compound when unripe and I made myself allergic? Weird fact.
  • @HopelessCT
    Public Displays of Confection made a starfruit candy just earlier.

    Oops! I left the episode preview out at the end. Its going to be on the Chilean Macadamia Nut (Gevuina avellana)
  • @ryanlilly198463
    I have kidney disease, and starfruit is a total no-no for me. I've had it a few times before my kidney disease. I liked it, but it is something I can live without for now.
  • @gamesandst8215
    When you realize his name is weird explorer not just weird fruit explorer lmao XD
  • Oh damn I love this hero’s sense of humor. That’s why I watch. Much respect. I wish good health and all the best to you and yours!
  • @phantombyte00
    I am going through a tough emotional time. Watching your videos really puts me in a good mood and make me smile and sometimes laugh. Your videos are all the wholesome I need right now. I truly thank you.
