Whoever came up w chocolate from cacao was a genius. That stuff looks like a horror show. Bet your chocolate will be better than Belge

Whoever created chocolate was on something I'm 100% convinced

割ったらエイリアンの卵感が増すｗ カカオがこういうものだとは知りませんでした。教えてくれてありがとう😊

My brother lives in Costa Rica he has these trees all over his yard. He came home and brought some chocolates he made from his trees. It was delicious

Fun fact : the white “flesh” is edible (the pod is a berry, after all) and really good.

Sometimes I can’t believe chocolate exists. It’s such a specialized process. Cacao farmers and makers deserve a lot of money and great treatment

I used to follow my dad to the farm to harvest the pods when I was younger. We would use a sickle attached to a long pole to reach the top of the cocoa trees where the pods were growing, then pry the seeds out of the pods, we would then ferment the seeds for days by wrapping them in nylon bags to trap the heat, then sun dry and sell for a decent price later. By cocoa pods harvested, I am talking about thousands of them, it took us hours just to harvest the pods, and days (weeks) to get them dry to industrial sale taste. I think that gives an insight into the number of trees we had to touch and how farmers go through the process.

Grandma bypassed the fermentation part and placed them on a tray in the sun every day to dry. Then toasted them on a bowl made out of barro. My gosh what an amazing scent.

I like that she emphasized “real” homemade chocolate. The amount of times I’ve clicked on “homemade chocolate” videos only to see them melting down already made chocolate bars into new molds is unreal.

Milk chocolate next please

As a kid we sun dry those pods and mom would roast them over medium high heat for hours of constant mixing. Truly a labor of love

Thank God that he gave this blessing to the Mayan to discover chocolate that was in central America

I'm so jealous of people who did this as a family thing. Like thats so cool, making chocolate with your family

As a horticulturist,I have never seen a genuine cacao pod in person ,they grow in a totally different climate and temperate zone than I live in...But this is SO much now on my bucket list!

*Who else wishes they could marry this perfect woman?*

That real means a lot 😊

This really makes me appreciate chocolate on a whole new level 😅

Never have i craved dark chocolate as much as i do at this moment.

We have a lot of cacao trees in our family farm ,and I love harvesting because I suck the sweet seeds then we wash and dry it under the sun then sti fry then after removing from shells we grind it and put in the molder or boil some as a pure chocolate drink ,soooo yummy and the smell is reeeeally good

Моё утро всегда начинается с чашки кофе и пары долек тёмного шоколада❤

Jeez it looks like you're cracking open a bug or something in the start

I still don’t understand how some human opened the pod, looked at the gooey alien larva inside, and let it rot before roasting it, crushing with sugar and oil, and making chocolate.

thank you Mexico. Thank you Mayans for giving us this delicious recipe. 😋😋😋😋😋😋

Now in this time your shorts got 100 million views congrats 🎉🎉❤

I remember when we can't afford to buy coffee, my mother will roasts cocoa seed and rice bean then crush it into powder. She will boil it for 20 minutes or more to bring out the taste. And it's the best taste coffee ever.

This video brings back childhood memories and how the cocoa was fermented, parched then grounded in a matyr and molded into balls made the best chocolate tea ever🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Those seeds are sooo good.

Thank you so much Chef ❤❤❤

I wanna know what made someone go hmmmm... let’s take rotten cocoa pods that look and smell disgusting, roast them, then remove the shells, blend the what’s inside, add sugar n’ oil and make something that will be so delicious everyone on earth will love. 😅 I’m glad that someone discovered this process and made the chocolate we have today.☺️

That’s not cacao that’s an alien egg

Chocolate is such a legendary snack

You have so positive vibes !!

The chocolate industry produces multi-billion dollar profits yet the actual Cacao farmers/harvesters get paid less-than-dirt.

Gotta admit the "Thud" from splitting that chocolate bar is so satisfying.

if making homemade chocolate was actually that easy my sister would be a billionaire

Finished product looks GOOD!

When you cracked that shit, I was like "there's muthfukin alien in that" lol.

Man whoever discovered the method to make chocolate from those seeds was elite. Why didn't his name go down in history? His descendants could have been respected as a royal family today.

I want to plant that seeds 🤯 love CHOCOLATE 🍫

That last pour was melted store bought chocolate. The blender she used would never be able to grind those cacao beans to the smoothness seen in that chocolate because for that, you need a mill. What probably happened is that she got that far in the process and then realized her tools couldn't do it, but still wanted to finish the video.

As someone whose father is a farmer and sometimes help him when processing these bad boy, i know so damn well how smelly your kitchen are :D Edit: i kinda... Not expecting the likes lol thanks

“This *spoiled... ROTTEN* fermented cacao seeds..” Cacao Seeds: “i just wanted to make you happy😢”

That chocolate bar is as beautiful as u dear❤.

I like it, I love chocolate!!🍫

The white fleshy part of the fruit is absolutely delicious.

That chocolate bar broke so perfectly at the end

That is awesome! ❤❤❤

Watching your chocolate making process was so satisfying. I'm seriously convinced to make some.

In all technical senses, this wouldn’t be classed as real chocolate due to the lack of cocoa butter which was substituted for the coconut oil.

The seeds are actually very sweet fresh out of the pod. Tastes really good.

Loved the entire process , the way you make cholacate 🍫

Loooks sooooo gorgeous I love that the cocoa beans 🫘 were fresh 😋

I'll never look at chocolate the same way again after seeing the giant, mushy grub thing being pulled out of the body snatchers pod.

It’s sad that the people who collect the cacao don’t get much money, and have never tried chocolate in their life. It also is a long and hard process to get the cacao

Wow! When you took out of the large pod, it was "Nasty." But, the end result was Incredible! My favorite, dark chocolate!

That snap at the end was very satisfying 😋

On today's episode of "what exactly compelled those people to turn THAT into THAT the first time?"

The legend is back

That is amazing !

Wow amazing I'm going to try this

"how to make chocolate" *picks a legendary volcano fruit*

When I first learned what the seeds looked like to make chocolate, they just give me alien egg vibes

The ultimate "trust the process" moment.

Looks so good

Can't help but wonder how the Mayans thought this up. I know the chocolate from back then isn't exactly what it is today but still. And to all the people that have shared their knowledge with me, thank you 😌

Growing up in Ghana, we had 4 coca trees in my backyard. I'd pluck and eat them whenever they'd turn yellow. I wish I had the skill to make chocolate with them.

wow only from one cacao! i'll definitely try this!!

So impressed!

This is definitely one of those “trust the process” kind of things

my parents own a cacao plantation and whenever harvest season comes, it’s always both a blessing and a nightmare for me and my siblings lol. a nightmare bc we have to pick the roasted shell off of every single bean (it was kind of painful to look at the crushed beans in your video bc i know the struggle of having to locate them from the discarded shells haha be careful! make it whole as much as possible when you open them up, it’s less time consuming!) and a blessing bc we get to enjoy unprocessed chocolate drink. yum!

Used to have a tree back home. My grandpa would open one berry from time to time, we would eat the sweet white membrane, let the beans dry and then roast them to make chocolate.

Wow! Cacao is one of my fave fruits!

The seeds coming out of the pod looked like a gross alien worm. I will gladly never watch a pod being opened for the rest of my life

That pod cracking open is one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen. The chocolate looks great though.

Wow i had no idea one pod makes one chocolate bar. I now appreciate it more.

That looked like some kind of crustacean coming out of that shell, rind. Awesome

We take things like readily available chocolate for granted so bad. Imagine making your own from scratch everytime you wanted it.

La semilla de cacao se chupa al sacarlo de su contenedor natural la cáscara y luego se lava y se deja a secar. Así lo hacen en el campo supongo que si no quieren chupar la semilla pueden quitarla con algo pero sabe dulce y súper rica.

Your voice like a nightingale ❤❤❤❤

In the Philippines, my grandparents do this but instead of fermenting, we eat the pulps of the seeds and gather to dry it under the sun. My grandfather will then toast it and grind it.

Growing up in ghana, I remember going to cocoa farms and eating the whites of the cocoa. They didn’t taste bad but were also sort of perfume-y

Wow that's actually so cool and looks so good great

That was amazing!! Wow!

Well done! My grandma in Suriname (South America) used to have a cacao tree on her farm. When we stayed on the farm she used to have us eat the fresh husks of the seeds (sweet taste like chocolate, waste to let them ferment :-) so she could dry and roast them. She made her own cacao powder, which she sold on the market. For us she made hot chocolate with fresh cow milk and home made cane sugar (she also grew sugar cane). She didn't have refrigerator so she never made chocolate was just to warm there. Good days...

Warning: Uncover the fermented seeds in a well ventilated area, unless you wanna lose your breakfast...

It looks so smooth that I can touch😅❤😊

No Brasil é tão normal. Tem fazendas de cacau que crescem na rua. 😊

I did not expect it to just goop out of the shell, that was an interesting visual experience to say the least

Her: is there chocolate here? Employee: sorry sold out Her: *"Fine I'll do it my self"*

It’s interesting looking at some of these things and wondering, “When did people think to eat this?”, especially with how the seeds looked in that pod.

That’s AMAZING!!!

This is literally when people say “I made this from scratch”!!

That shit looked like a whole alien larvae when she opened it, actually scared me

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. Definitely will make my own chocolate if i have cocoa seed😊

Thank you that was so informative. 👍

I am lucky enough to have relatives with a small plantation of Cacao where I’m from and as a kid when we visited it was simply heaven to eat the cacao. I don’t think there’s a taste that brings me more to my childhood: Cacao and Sugarcane Lemonade It would be fun trying to do this since I always ate them raw

When the fruit first opened up it looked like a literal gigantic alien bug

She's gorgeous

One thing I’ll always suggest is keeping the shells and using them like a loose leaf tea! It’s fantastic.

In case people didn’t know, cacao beans taste delicious. Suck them before letting them ferment, it is like a sweet and sourish taste. Just suck them, do not shallow or bite.
