Germán Santillán: A taste of Mexico's ancient chocolate-making tradition | TED

Dating back more than 800 years, chocolate is deeply woven into the Indigenous history of Oaxaca, Mexico. TED Fellow Germán Santillán talks about his work reviving the Mixtec technique used to prepare this ancient delicacy by training a new generation of local farmers -- helping create economic opportunity and preserve a delicious legacy at the same time.

    MARANATA !!! 🎺🎺🎺 WHAT DOES MARANATA MEAN? MATTHEW 4:17 / ROMANS 10: 9 / JOHN 8:58 Matthew 24:39 ^ And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man. COME INTO THE ARK, YOU ARE ON TIME MY FRIEND: THERE IS STILL PLACE. MARANATA !!!

    This is heartwarming and I wish them much success. I love Mexican hot chocolate. It brings back comforting childhood memories. On a different note, the English Close Captioning is a hot mess and made me honestly laugh out loud a couple times, especially when they had, "Tony Stark bikin simultaneously" 😂

    No disrespect to the content, love chocolate, but omg turn on the English subtitles for an entirely different story! Tony Stark bikini appears in the text, in fact most of the English is AI fail, so everyone adopt a Mexican accent because AI cannot hear your words basically AT ALL! The subtext was absolutely hilarious! Watch it twice! I had NO problem understanding his English. I'm smarter than AI, obviously!
