AMAZON MARKET EXPERIENCE BELÉM, BRAZIL | LARGEST OUTDOOR MARKET IN LATIN AMERICA
we are getting on this plane right here we are going to the amazon welcome to developers america my friends there are so many fruits that we don't even recognize there's a bit of sweetness they're about the size of enhance they have an area of this market just dedicated to these potions our first view of the amazon river good morning guys we are getting on this plane right here we are going to the amazon this is a part of the trip that we have really been looking forward to we think it's gonna be a highlight of all of brazil i can't believe we're going to the amazon right now bucket list item right here here we go so right now we're flying to belen which is in paris state and we're gonna spend about a week in the amazon we're gonna make as many videos as we can so we can show you a bunch of stuff there we'll probably have multiple videos every day so look forward to that so once we land we will be going to the biggest open air market in brazil this is a tiny plane look at that i can barely fit through d and c to the right right there right back of the plane it's a small plane we are in the amazon oh it's close we're in berlin market this is the biggest open-air market in latin america first thing we're noticing there are so many fruits here that we've never seen before like this when it's red it's good and it's ready to cook and then you can eat it after you cook it we're gonna try to do that later but there are a bunch of fruits that we've never seen before yeah that type of cocoa actually not a coconut you break it and you have a very soft pulp inside and from this very soft pulp you make juices you made ice creams you made drinks for your skin you made pretty much everything so this weird looking one right here is we've been saying that all over brazil usually in an ice cream form and we haven't been able to try it yet but we will soon so right now we're in the fruit section of the market and it's incredible i haven't seen a fruit section like this like you have for the amazon there are so many fruits that we don't even recognize and i think we'll get a chance to try them while we're here some of them here seem to be a little bit cooked because right now so you can get three of these for around 15 rows so that's about a dollar each that's pretty good that's a good price for those in peru they're very expensive but here pretty good deal we're gonna have to eat some of those so something interesting about this fruit section of the market later in the day you're going to find better prices because they want to clear out their stock they don't want to go home with any fruit so they try to sell it at a lower price they bring it outside to try to get more people to buy it usually they have the fruit stands inside but we're here later in the day so here it is outside so this is called inga we've been wanting to try this but we haven't yet so it's going to be easy pick one don't bite it too hard because of the the city inside just go to purple you just eat the pulp inside there's a big seed just a white part just a little bit on the outside there's a white fleshy outside and you just have a little bit of that it doesn't have much of a flavor right it's very very very soft so it's a little sweet but it doesn't have a ton of flavor it's not very potent with flavor there's a bit of sweetness so you can see it looks like a big green bean it's just a pod of these fleshy seeds it looks like a pea pod a giant pizza how do you like it it's much different than anything i've ever tried is this this is a fruit this is the fruit it's like a dried out mango it has like the fibers of a mango they get stuck in your teeth but it's very dry never read anything like that all right keep it open get it up later okay perfect save it for later if i get hungry you have this fruit then you can move the cask and you have that those ones are already toasted this was a fruit this is the fruit the original pasta okay we call it oriso okay yes inside of it we have the seed and from the seed you remove it and you eat it like a salad and that's where you get what we call brazil nuts brazil nuts but what you call brazil nuts is those ones because they're already toasted okay here in berlin you can eat those fresh without being toasted can't wait okay now we're going into the seafood section a lot of fish here we're gonna learn something so this is a very famous fish here it's perarucu and kind of like bakalao like bacalao you'll see it all over brazil you hang it in the sun you salt it and so they kind of cook it in the same way but he said it's very good it's even better than bakalao according to him did you just eat something the smallest smallest shrimp in the world they are called aviyu they're about the size of an ant wow they are salted right now they're a little salty this is how they serve them there are thousands in here and you can't even tell i thought it was like a shredded chicken or something you only have this in different times of the year this is a fish flower a fish flower called akari so they have salt water shrimp and fresh water in this area and so you can tell when it's a water shrimp because the flesh is close to the meat so he could tell right away by looking at it if it was salt water or fresh water shrimp straining it or something straining the salt off so you see these cool looking baskets here they actually catch the shrimp that way you'll find these baskets on the boat and they fill them up with shrimp on the boat and then they bring this basket to the market look at basket they just weave it together so they're all handmade made with palm waves and they last about four to five months you can mix those into the acai okay but those ones you can eat all into the acai and you eat it like a cereal like yeah so we're trying some tapioca here it's in this little packing peanut looking eggs so it's a little different because you'll see it in different forms ready yeah let's try it kind of crispy it does remind me of those packing pins yeah kind of like a cereal you can really put this in milk and eat it like that we have like a rice krispies and we have seen a lot of people put putting this in there not a ton of flavor but tapioca doesn't really have much of a flavor we have now the maniac flower the yellow one this is more how can i say it's more not so soft as the tapioca flour okay and you can taste it right now this is pure gold because braganza produces the best menu of flour in all the state of butter let's try this one looks a little different has a yellow color to it oh wow it's a lot harder the other one we just tried was softer we just got some kashasa with jambu and apparently it can leave a tingly num sensation after you have it cheers there it is yes my tongue has a sensation i have never felt before it's a good one it's like tingly numb oh i like that you can't even describe that it's not a sourness it's not a bitterness it's a it's kind of my tongue is going crazy i i like that and after another 30 seconds it's like pop rocks i feel like the saliva in my mouth is just popping around my tongue you can feel it that is a sensation you have to try if you come to the amazon more so this is what it looks like so this is the flower of the jumbo flower of the zoo i can still feel it in my mouth a couple minutes later it's gonna last like five minutes in your mouth so these are also but this one has a lobster in it and this one has some fruits and lobster crab so here's the fruit one pineapples apples melons i'm deciding to try the fruit one i'm making alex try the seafood one i was just gonna say lindsay is too afraid to do the alcohol with a lobster in it so i guess i have to here it is look at this this is wow does it taste like seafood a little bit yeah it has a taste of the sea to it you better have the raft look you smell it you can smell the lobster in there i didn't know that anywhere in the world had something like that where you can have the alcohol with taste of a fish in it well a crustacean you have to try that and we always forget to explain it in our videos because we've done like a hundred videos in brazil but kashasa is easily brazil's national alcohol so it is the alcohol that you will find all over the country in cocktails by itself and that's why finally while we're here we're getting to try some practice flavors that we've never even seen or heard of before there are only three types of animals or two types of animals that can open this up a bird and a monkey and humans it is very hard extremely hard exterior wow like harder than a coconut maybe so this is the nut that you get inside of it this is how you form the nut into this to eat yeah there it is that's a lot of work for one nut and this is fresh this is not toasted this fast can you remove it and just eat it probably healthier when it's fresh the doctor said you can eat just two of those per day yeah because they are together wow they have a lot of fun because it's fresh it's a little different than when you're just biting into a nut like we're used to usually it seems drier that breaks easier this is closer to like apparently you're only supposed to have two of these a day because of the high fat content that they have hard to describe kind of watery you can tell there's some water in there how much is something like that only two per day so this will last us like a month two dollars or something like this here it is our first view of the amazon river been waiting for this day my whole life okay now we're going to look for some food there is a food area where you'll find all the restaurants and stands a ton of people over here drinking drinking beer having food let's see what we can find this is where we are going to try real awesome from the amazon for us here so we're looking for acai and we're going to try it in a way that we never have before acai changes all around brazil as we've said before but in the amazon it is much different they do it different here and you'll never guess how if you're not brazilian it's too bad they usually have acai here but they are out of it so we're still gonna get some food at this market it'll still be a unique experience but we're gonna try the special acai later tomorrow another oh wow yes it tastes like uh like or cineguela or something we were getting it a little south of here and they called it now they call it something different up here but this has become one of my favorite drinks and we have a local beer here boy from brazil very good crisp and refreshing we need that it is extremely hot and humid here we'll adjust eventually and that might be why we have one two one two three four five six it's like liquids for the two of us please so we just got our food this is a variety of catfish and it's basically the cuts of the day it is extremely fresh so that's gonna be very good looks like it's fried and then we have some beans some rice this is like a salad more like a sauce and then here we go let's try this fried fish never frozen fresh it's salty it's so crispy that fried pork we got another type of fish called piscata there are shrimps on top of it as well this one's a bit saltier so good a little more rich so they were just saying this fish that we're having right now is actually a huge fish and you wouldn't know it by what's on your plate but it could be the size of all three of these tables combined they just showed us the picture looked like a great white shark and it comes from the river right here so now we're getting to one of the most exciting parts of this market these behind me you'll never guess they're potions potions for different ailments we're gonna get into it and ask them a little bit about it i think they have some herbal viagra so they have an area of this market just dedicated to these potions there is a plant medicine and a potion for anything you name it for any intestinal issues skin issues energy love is crazy you can find it all right here the reason we talk about this area it's the people who sell it when you talk about medicine amazonian medicine all of those women actually made some of those this is uh we call it it's like a mix of herbs a mix of medicine herbs we mix together okay to whatever disease this is for people who have strokes you get one of those and you drink just the tip of it every time per day so you're gonna get better and better every day that makes you more strong i can say i can use that word so if you want to marry him you buy one of those okay you put you put his name where you put it inside but don't let him okay so these potions there are ones that are more like folklore they're more like myths or legends but then there are ones that are kind of proven to work that they're telling us that uh the people that live here like them like the people that are with us they have used it and it has worked on them since they know that my hand has been hurting my wrists they gave me this for my wrist to heal it it's an anti-inflammatory cream basically so i'm gonna try this and let you guys know how it goes it says happy 2021 attracts luck prosperity money and good energy foreign um that was such an amazing experience i've never seen a market like that before great food great fish amazing market so far we
