I didn't make some jam sadly 😕 I just didn't have enough of the fruit to make some. But a jam is still a burning desire! Hopefully I can find a good bunch of them one day and share that jam making little project with you guys 😊

The MD grows very well in Miami, so much so that mine has gone as high as 40+ feet up a Royal Ponciana tree.
I use the fruit to make ice cream. Few can guess the source of the ice cream’s flavor as it also has a perfume like scent. Delicious.
Great video!

Beautiful tiles behind you! The fruit looks like an alien corn cob.

So my wife has a very green thumb, we have massive monstera plants. We live in Illinois so ours will never fo this. We are in Hawaii right now and my wife just found 3 almost ready. She said, they just made her whole trip. Thank you for the information.

I am from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺.I've Never heard anyone call it a Monstera Deliciosa, it was called a Monsteria Deliciosa. We grew one of these when I was really young at our then family home. I love them. Also known as the Fruit Salad Plant. We were taught as soon as the plant had fruit on, that you had to wait for the skin to come away from the fruit before you could eat it. Otherwise you'd end up with prickles in your tongue.

I have picked a fruit off my plant last week, and the hexagons are coming off easily now... I have tasted this now for the first time, and it IS the most delicious fruit I have ever eaten. So glad I have this plant in my yard.

Wow, I have had an enormous and very mature monstera plant along my side fence (about 20 feet wide by 6 feet high) for the 3 years I've owned this home. It was planted by the previous homeowner and I had no idea that those weird things are edible! I have literally thrown out about 50+ of them over the years; the plant is that large! I have about 10 of the fruits out there right now!... As a matter of fact, one just fell off today! Thank you for the instruction! Definitely excited to try this. We also grow tons of bananas (I harvest and give out about 400-500 per year), as well as pineapples. Can't wait to add the monstera fruit to the harvest!

[julianruthfin]

I have so many of these for years and today is the first i knew it was a fruit, just look outside and actually it have two fruits right now, am very excited to try them when they are ripen

[vonBelfry]

Fruit that tells you EXACTLY when it wants to be eaten. Neat!

[loverlyme]

This is possibly my favourite fruit ever! I've only had it three times but have loved it. It's also commonly called the 'fruit salad' plant as it really does taste like a bunch of tropical fruits all at once. My introduction to the plant was when I was a teenager. My family had a connection with a green grocer who would occasionally bring us fruit and veg. He taught me how and when to eat it. The last time was when I saw some for sale at the Sydney Royal Easter Show a few years ago. I wish I knew where I could buy these when in season. It's not something seen commonly at the grocery. I've thought about growing a monstero deliciosa plant but it could be such a hit-and-miss as to when or if it might grow the fruit.

I have a massive Monstera growing in my small backyad in Melbourne, Australia which has been giving me fruit for the past 10 years. I learned through trial and error how to ripen them. I wrap them in any kitchen paper and put them in the cupboard until ripe. I have quite a bit in my freezer also because of how much fruit I got. I had radiation treatment for lung cancer in 2021 so now I like to eat it for more than just the marvelous flavour. Nice in a smoothie too.

[ashleejones]

I always think of how many people unalived or seriously hurt themselves figuring out what was safe to eat and how to eat it, lol. They’re the real heroes

[khianidude]

Dont forget, Oxalates in that quantity for unripe fruits is almost guaranteed kidney stones, and I wouldn't want to pass a ball of needles.

[santiagonieto]

I have had this in my yard my whole life and I never knew that you could actually eat them

[conniepothas]

I've been looking for this plant name for years. I grew up with it now. I can actually go buy one. Thank you

[hotfightinghistory]

These grew just outside my grandfather's house in the Florida Keys!!! I had totally forgotten about them until seeing this! He usually had a few ripe ones in the kitchen whenever we visited :)

[weallmadhere]

What a beautiful geometry on that fruit! Thank you for this video. I'll be planting one soon in my edible landscaping.

[latetotheparty]

I never knew those plants could grow fruit! As someone who enjoys exotic fruit, I'd really like to try those!

[PeterForbes-kq]

I've had these plants in my backyard for years, maybe 20! Have just realised that you can eat them after taking a closer look, smelling it then searching for it online. Thanks for the confirmation that it can be eaten. And yes, it tastes awesome.

[goldrum]

I have had this plant for years and not paid much attention to it until I started seeing this Fruit. I'm super excited to try it. Thank you for showing us how to eat it. ❤
