Chocolate is pain

NileBlue is the kind of person NileRed wouldn't let anywhere near his lab.

NileRed: follows meticulous, multi-step, multi-day scientific processes NileBlue: has no patience, doesn't follow directions, doesn't do enough research, life philosophy is "wing it"

"Casualty." *Throws glass at casualty.*

Nile sometimes I feel like you’re an alien who only knows chemistry, and when you encounter an ordinary thing that everyone knows about you just are completely unaware of it, but in the best way

He’s so eager for chocolate that he eats it in every step of the process of getting the chocolate

people like Nile are how humans discovered what food kills you and what doesn't....

Happy to have been made into chocolate for nile.

Nilered = Entertainment Nileblue = War crimes

Nile is the friend who’s always like “Do you guys dare me to eat this?” And everyone says no but he’s like “okay okay if you insist” and eats it anyways

NileRed: "Whatever you do, do not eat or drink anything while in a lab." NileBlue: "should i taste it"

"You wanna destroy the baby?" *Yes*

You made me say “Nile, no” out loud several times in the first ten minutes alone. Congrats.

Nile: Turns literal PLASTIC glove into drinkable, grape soda. Also Nile: Man, chocolate production really is weird huh

I can't get over how the main channel is so professional and here, he's aggressively shaking and banging a blender on the table like a caveman trying to make the loud noises stop

The quite akwardness in the background makes the video raw, I like it it’s comforting

*one bean has a casualty* Nile: *thros a beaker at it*

I love how someone so good at chemistry seems completely terrified using basic kitchen appliances 😂😂

The part where he throws the glass at the random bean he kicked away caught me so off guard lmao💀💀💀

In Brazil you can actually get it at any of the steps. You can buy the fruit, the seeds, the roasted seeds, the powder, the home-made chocolate (not industrialized). There are cities where the whole economy turns around chocolate... from cocoa farms up to chocolate stores.

having only seen NileRed videos until this one, i am astonished at the level of cursed energy this man can produce

Nile: Doesn’t think the stinkiest chemical in the world smells that bad Also Nile: Gags putting a piece of a cacao fruit in his mouth

NileBlue is NileRed’s mischievous twin that somehow keeps finding ways to break into the lab and keeps misusing the equipment, breaking things, and leaving messes.

He is charming and has a genuine curiosity and desire to share the discovery process with others. Usually smart guys like to make sure everyone knows that the smart guy is the most smart, but he genuinely wants to learn and teach and has fun doing it.

i like how Nile calls it sticking together as in a solid and the simplicity of camera man just to call it a fudge

Love how he just tries everything even if it's raw and looks disgusting 😂

There's something amazing about how someone can be such a good chemist and have absolutely no idea what you do in a kitchen.

Any other KZfaqr would’ve stringed us along for a pt 2 for the milk chocolate. Real one Nile

I visited Costa Rica in college to do a water pollution study and we actually got to see the process of making chocolate from the nibs of the cacao- super cool to see how agriculture around the cacao farms would enhance the taste; similar to how wine or apple orchards can affect one another when in proximity to each other. Food science is awesome 😌

NileRed: actually competent NileBlue: chaotic cooking show NileGreen: hi guys today I made a nuke in my backyard- edit: ok, so, after a few months of this comment being up, through the notifications, i slowly realized there's a whole ass NileFamily composed of 9+ channels

You are a fabulous person. Your way you're casually told about any experiment any conclusion so easily.I really like your concluding any experiment. Your way is really pretty good 😊. You are so casual but I am the biggest fan of all the videos.

I should've taken a shot for each time I said "Nigel, what the fuck". Probably would've passed out mid video 💀

I love how everyone is talking about him eating the cocao beans while they are also ignoring him straight up chucking a whole beaker across the room at a lost bean.

Nigel: *astonished that chocolate comes from a fruit and finds that so weird* Also Nigel: *literally makes HOT SAUCE out of GLOVES AND VANILLA*

Having fun while baking is the best part! Well done making dark and milk chocolate from scratch!!😮😊❤🎉

this is awesome. The "alright" and the "i don't think so man" in the video has me laughing. I love your curious mind.

Nigel is the kind of person to ask "Do you dare me to eat this?" And then not wait for an answer.

Nile Blue is the most confidently awkward person I have ever seen. Honestly it adds to the charm of the channel.

Excellent job tempering! Much better than my first attempt in college, you didn't get significant bloom or anything!

Thanks for the knowledge

Nile the only kind of guy to replace a table instead of cleaning it.

NileRed: tastes his experiments ONLY if he's sure its edible NileBlue: tastes everything no matter if it could be poisonous Edit: holy f*ck so many likes

Just found this Chanel. Amazing

Omg i follow nileRed on FB love it and finally came across u on KZfaq Im obsessed with the way you say the chemical compound names so sexy

Nile: Is a professional chemist with a degree, amazes people online with his knowledge daily. Also Nile: "So apparently chocolate comes from a fruit?!"

Nigel: *makes the beans roast until they are black* Also Nigel: surprised when they taste burned

Maybe you could Google how to do it. I got this first try. To ferment cocoa beans, you can follow these steps: First, extract the seeds and pulp from the cacao pods and place them in a container. Set the container in a warm place to ferment for 5 to 7 days. Wash off the fermented beans and roast them in the oven. Remove the outer shell from the beans, exposing the cacao nibs. Grind the cacao nibs into a smooth paste. Add sugar and cacao butter (if using). Temper the chocolate (optional). Here is a detailed article on how to make chocolate from cocoa beans 1. It includes a list of equipment and materials you will need, such as grinding machines, fermentation equipment, and molds. The article also provides a step-by-step guide to making chocolate from scratch, including sourcing fresh cacao pods, extracting flower cushions from cocoa pods, and conching the chocolate. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊

Nile red:being patient , careful, calm and does a lot of research Nile blue:being inpatient,rectless and just do what he wants with no research

Whenever I bake I find workarounds to not use the equipment they need, Nile finds workarounds to use equipment the recipe doesn’t ask for.

Having tempered chocolate many times, I was both instantly horrified that you threw the paste in at 40c, and completely stumped at how you re-tempered broken chocolate. Well done.

I worked in Hawaii for a few weeks and toured a Coco processor. They put the beans in bulk liquid tanks inside a shipping container for a couple of weeks to ferment. The fermentation cooks the beans and ripens them for processing. I recommend you go.

I went to Hawaii and had a tour of a chocolate farm. Got to eat a cacao bean out of a pod right from the tree. It was mushy and sweet but didn’t taste like chocolate until you bit into the hard seed inside.

Making chocolate is such a complicated process with so many different steps, it's an absolute miracle that anyone ever figured it out.

NileRed: always so precise and professional NileBlue: *karate chops fruit*

🥲Whoever does the clean up for the videos on NileBlue's channel deserves a round of applause and a shoutout! 👍

21:50 poor blender 😢

I love how this channel has gone from chemistry to overly complicated cooking tutorial.

How in holy crap did ancient humans figure chocolate out? Who was bored or hungry enough to beat their head over how to cook that alien nightmare until they figured it out?

These kinds of videos are always nice to fall asleep to

Finally, a cooking tutorial, thanks!

The chaotic energy he has on this channel does not feel like he’s the same guy on NileRed

As someone who has worked pastry, you actually did a great job tempering it. Tempering chocolate is famously difficult. For your first time, I'd say you nailed it.

So much was said in a single "ooo" when he started squeezing it out of the bag.

Nile: gets sterile dishes, puts on gloves, protective glasses, HEV suit Also Nile: puts the substance into mouth and tastes it :)

NileBlue: *Goes through the entire process of making chocolate from scratch* NileBlue after making it: "Just tastes like chocolate."

I discovered your two channels just recently and you are by far the most funny way of picturing people have two personalities haha At day you're NileRed, make your research and stay to the facts And at night Red's out of sight, and blue comes into the lab to live the life😂

i remember learning about how chocolate was made from the cat in the hat cartoon. happy to see you do this, reminds me of good times

Nile gives off such a sheer vibe of "Fuck it, why not" and I'm beginning to wonder if that's just part of the requirements to be a chemist

You did a REALLY good job tempering it, non-tempered chocolate won't snap at all, it will bend because it's pliable, your stuff was tempered to perfection

I know I'm late to this video, but if you want a really good insight into making chocolate, there's a place in Hamburg Germany called Chocoversum, and their tour was great, honestly would give some good tips on producing chocolate from scratch.

I find it absolutely insane how we as a society see Vanilla and Chocolate, 2 flavours created from super weird exotic plants to be the basic flavours

When it's so horrifying you just cannot look away. That cacao was abused in ways unimaginable. It's poetic how the chocolate still came out from it, forged in ways unthinkable, yet still sweet to the world.

honestly the super grainy pre-tempered dark chocolate fudge looked the tastiest to me, yet somehow it's the one thing you didn't actually try when you had the chance to

I love the tape over thr orginal nilered logo for nileblue

Brilliant video .

I'm always baffled how humans figured out how to turn slimy alien larvae into delicious chocolate. Like how did someone go: "Yeah I want to eat stuff made from this" and "I think I'll dry it for a week and see how it is"

I hope I never get to a point in my life where I won't laugh with Nigel when I see chocolate being pooped out of a bag

I love tasting the raw fruit from the cacao bean. So good!

He went from having six cacao pods, to having a jar of beans, to having a small bar of chocolate. Then breaking a square off and taking a tiny bite, not liking it, and doing the whole thing over for milk chocolate.😅😂

What I’ve learned is that if Nile says “it’s not that bad” don’t believe him! And if he says something IS bad, then it is probably truly horrendous.

Nileblue: nooo, casualty Also Nileblue: *proceeds to throw glass at seed*

Nile is the type of Person that orders fruits online

the cacao pulp tastes really good. it's a bit sour and sweet. we have 4 mature trees in our yard that have been giving us free chocolate powder for 7 years now. 😊

I love how much research he does before a chemical experiment but when he sees chocolate he does none at all

I find it so hilarious that this man has an entire laboratory full of expensive equipment and chemicals and all this knowledge about chemistry, but he didn't know chocolate gets made from a fruit

I work at a chocolate factory so this was quite fun to watch you make chocolate on this scale and seeing all the steps we take done like this!

As a former chocolatier, this was painful to watch lmao. But props to you for knowing about beta crystals and for getting a good temper! I died inside when you left it in the fridge overnight, though. Don’t do that! It ruins the temper and causes condensation and water is the enemy of chocolate!

I love how the first thing you learn in almost every lab course is “lab safety” including not eating or drinking anything in the lab, and Nile just says “I wonder what it tastes like” in almost every video.

I like how Nile is slowly becoming a cooking youtuber... but with deadly chemicals.

The fact that nile always spends weeks or a month on a great project and at the end of all of them hes like "meh this is mid" even if its absolutely amazing is insane

I wonder how good of a chef you would be! What are some of your favorite things to cook?

NileRed: Makes complicated chemicals carefully in a safe enviornment NileBlue: Beats fruit with hammer

So much chaotic energy in this video. From the repeated taste tests to the glass that was thrown for some reason when he kicked away the casualties. I love it.

You need more subs tbh😊

Honestly fascinating to see how much of a difference just fermenting and drying the beans makes.

I love the fact that you immediately know he isn't a cook and this is being done with literally only a science background

NileRed: drinks grape soda made from plastic gloves NileBlue: drinks fermented fruit goop

I have that exact air frier toaster ovens thingy it’s awesome

When he was squishing them it just made my mind have devious thoughts

_And thus, Nigel's descent into total madness begins..._
