Summary of "Top 10 WORST FRUIT in the world (2018) - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep 301"
Overview
The video celebrates reaching Episode 300 of the “Weird Fruit Explorer” series, followed by another “Top 10 WORST fruit in the world” list. The host highlights fruits that are disgusting due to their texture, sourness, chemical flavors, or a soap/chemical taste.
Key highlights & reactions
Glueberries (“glueberry” / mucilaginous berries)
The host says they’re not just slimy, but sticky and mucilaginous—so much so that his lips stick together. Even cooked with tasty spices, he’d rather put the spices on anything else. The texture is compared to a bloated grape from the bottom of a fruit cup.
Laotian gooseberry (a ripe variety attempt)
After trying multiple raw varieties, he calls the Laotian gooseberry especially brutal: painfully sour, painfully astringent, and chemically-tasting, making it “not good” when eaten straight.
Uxi palm (high-fat fruit that fails)
He compares the flavor to scraped stale fryer oil—to the point where his fingers turn shiny just from handling it.
Limau kedangsa (tastes like lemon dish soap)
He couldn’t find info on whether it’s eaten, so he takes the “naturally, I tasted it” route. He reports it as sour, bitter, and very astringent, while smelling decent.
Cempedak (loved by others, hated by him)
Despite liking other Artocarpus fruits (jackfruit, breadfruit, marang), he can’t stand cempedak. He describes it as soft/slimy, overwhelmingly sweet, and having a B.O.-like funk. Even deep-frying doesn’t fix it.
Ripe tomatillo (salsa verde logic gone wrong)
He argues tomatillos are meant to be unripe for salsa verde; once ripened to yellow, they become awful. He describes the taste as flat, cheesy-funk-like—as if the creaminess is removed and only a weird “parmesan-ish” residue remains.
Wood apple (2nd place “dreadful produce” earlier, still terrible)
He reiterates the earlier ranking: flesh looks like dirt, and tastes like dirt with cheesy eggnog mixed in. He also addresses confusion with bael fruit, insisting the fruit shown is not bael fruit.
Sichuan peppercorns (fresh = evil)
Someone notes they’re great dry for numbing spice. But fresh ones are treated like pure menace: the host eats tiny pieces and says his mouth feels like it’s turning inside out, with chemical taste, nonstop salivation, burning, and tongue vibrations. He implies raw use is unbearable—tiny amounts in cooking might be acceptable.
Soapberry / soap nut (supposedly used as laundry detergent)
He refuses to taste it for long, describing it as tasting exactly like soap—with a saponin “natural soap” explanation for why it’s used as detergent. His mouth feels full of soap suds.
Noni (the absolute worst—far beyond “worst fruit”)
The biggest standout: he calls noni not just the worst fruit he’s eaten, but the worst thing he’s ever eaten overall. He describes:
- Unripe noni: least offensive; tastes like horseradish
- Ripe noni: like cheddar cheese, vomited onto a lemon
- Overripe noni: even worse—he says touching it to his tongue triggers instant gagging
He also mocks its marketing as a “miracle cure”, joking he’d prefer one that doesn’t taste like “barf.”
Funny/chaotic interlude
During a transition/voiceover, the vibe gets disrupted by unexpected background chaos: “Oh my God” reactions, cat meowing, and a joke about New York being on fire while the cat pooped.
Ending
He finishes with standard channel business: shoutout to Patreon supporters, mentions Smarter Every Day, plugs T-shirts, and asks viewers to subscribe/like/comment—then teases a preview for next week’s fruit.
