    I grew bananas by cutting off pieces of the root and planting them kind of like you would plant seeds.  Yah, I think it would be better to grow them from seeds.  I had apples the other day that were so tiny, tart and full of a few big seeds, that I thought they were acerola, if no one told me they were apples.

i used to be raw vegan and regularly used to watch his videos. i wonder, if he is on paleo diet now. anyway, great video indeed! lots of truth there. on my paleo land, the main focus of indigenous plants and animals to raise. if we don't think constantly to make money selling meat and fruits that we grow, than to handle this project would be easy. in back home, we do have bananas with huge black seeds on them and they are super delicious. i'm used to eat so much exotic fruits that they all come with seeds. anything without seeds is scary.

It is always all about results.
Find the fruit that gives you the healthy results you are looking for.

[TylerDurden]

Well, hot topics is really the place. After all, even meats are unnatural, given GM meats and grainfeeding.

[Sully]

@raw  Yeah he eats meat now.

here he eats raw bison

Good stuff all natural. Grow like wildfire so they have never been cultivated. High sugar amount and....even more fiber, take a look at this:

Full of large rock hard seeds.

Your title is sort of misleading but thanks for the video. Most enjoyable

Looking for pre-historic fruit with BIG SEEDS?

These are exotic fruit from the virgin forests of Palawan.

And how about Durian?
Also a pre-historic fruit.
With enormous seeds!

A great number of raw foodists love durian.
It's probably something Durian Rider, Paul Nison, GoodSamaritan, Iguana, and Yon Yonson can agree on.


We buy packed durian sometimes for convenience and assurance of ripeness


This is what Durian Fruits look like

in back home, we do have bananas with huge black seeds on them and they are super delicious. i'm used to eat so much exotic fruits that they all come with seeds. anything without seeds is scary.

Where is this "back home" - or how did you manage to get these bananas?

We have natural bananas in my country.
This is what we natives eat in the Philippines.
The ones we export, are the yucky Cavendish Bananas he is lambasting.
(native people don't eat that, they look too perfect - wierd.)

ive heard that durians are an aquired taste?

I think it is genetic.
The first time I smelled durian was when I was 9 years old and I looked for it in the house because it smelled so good.
Tasted it and I was immediately hooked.
All my kids have the same experience and genes.

[Brother]

Ive tried to look it up. but you can only get stuff thats been frozen and it is supposed to taste something like cognac with coffee and cream. Which...well that sounds lovely  actually, but I have still not even found the frozen stuff.

Yeah I wouldn't surprised. It took me a while to appreciate it but in the end I was totally hooked

Yeah, I guess it could be said to taste something like that.

I'd describe it as a creamy custard desert with a tinge of cognac. It is really a spectacular fruit. It is very potent.

Can you get the fresh stuff on Greenland? If so, WTH?!

[goodsamaritan]

Rule of thumb with fruit.
Never get the "variety" that is seedless... that is a freak.

Here are ATIS... full of seeds

Atis is in season now.  The season is very short.  Just 1 month of a year.

Actually I'm Icelandic, but yes, yes you can.

I hunt in greenland quite a bit and they have very western stores with all the western junk along with loads of fruit. They eat mostly sugar and wheat, atleast the people that live in towns do.

It's a very sad evolution, most of them are very fat, depressed and unhealthy. They are kind of lost in the modern world, all the modern bullshit has been pushed upon them and they think that they need it to be happy.

I hope one day they go back to their roots, greenland is one of the most amazing places on earth. I love it.

Native Icelanders are not accustomed to a lot of fruits. They've always eaten only a little bit of them. Am I wrong?

Fruit started here probably 200 years ago and then it was a rarity and people only had it for christmas and only the rich people.

There is no fruit grown here what so ever. My parents and grandparents never touch fruit, my dad for example, just doesn't want it. Never ever eats it even though there's always a lot of fruit available. But yeah there's plenty of imported supermarket fruit.

Any berries?

[ForTheHunt]

Blueberries grow in the wild, they're not grown

I think she is referring to India.
