Weird Explorer
My name is Jared Rydelek. I am on a mission to find and taste every species of fruit in the world.
In 2012 I decided to do something crazy: Document every fruit in the world! I didn't know it at the time, but there are over 70,000 edible species of fruit, so this is impossible. Still I am stubbornly trying to do it anyway and I am having the time of my life in the process.
This series has brought me to over 40 countries, I've reviewed hundreds of fruits and there is no sign of it stopping!
