How I Make Primitive Maya Chocolate

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The chocolate of today is very different from its primitive form derived from the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) native to Mesoamerica. In this video, I show the primitive process of making chocolate from raw cocoa beans from Mexico. You could say that my hut turned into a chocolate factory.

    Спасибо за ваши видео , Вы как то говорили что Вас перестали смотреть, как я думаю Вам надо добавить постановы в свои видео( я уважаю Ваш выбор снимать (типа) реальность без купюр) но в нынешних реалиях это не то. Я всё ждал когда Вы закончите свой домик(дымоходная труба должна быть выше крыши и по техники безопасности и для лучшей тяги ) . И хотел обратить ваще внимание на Русскую печь . вы примерно повторили её мини версию но не продумали чутка , дымоход мог стать вашей кроватью. Успехов Вам И вашим близким, с прошедшими и будущими праздниками . не болейте!

    I've seen chocolate made from raw cacao on other channels, but never this primitively before. Most of them use a food processor. 😏 I'm guessing dates would ALSO make a good sweetener for your chocolate too, or stevia for a sugar free version. Hard to believe something THAT delicious is THAT good FOR you.😋

    Chocolate is made in a similar manner in Jamaica...it is beaten in a mortar . Some people add pimento (allspice), nutmeg and cinnamon to it while it is being beaten. It is placed on a piece of banana leaf and shaped. To prepare the drink it is then grated and boiled in hot water and coconut milk and sweetened to taste. Add pinch of salt and strain....delicious

    That's the world we live in. Whether it be movies, television shows, the news, politics, advertising, everything is deception, lies, exaggerations of the truth due to the nature of human response. People respond to bizarre, crazy, sexy images so that's what is made and delivered. Real life is too boring and people fantasize about a reality that does not exist but is presented through social media and all other visual media. Unfortunately I have not been able to compete with that and am trying to find a way to continue making videos. Please forgive me for not uploading much lately, I just haven't had the time.

    Have you considered building an adobe woodshed? One with gaps between the long bricks, glued together with mud only where they cross over by a few inches so that air can pass through from all side, forming a sort of gingham checkerboard look, and then roofed in bark of course. Even though there will be wind openings, the bricks as well as roof will help keep the rain off the wood even if the prevailing winds blow the drops at an angle (presuming the access opening is on the leeward side).

    Good luck with your gardening. In SoCal there are a lot of crops that grow well in the winter, especially greens like lettuce, spinach, cilantro, onions, etc. The climate at my hut is not good for many crops. The nights are freezing in the winter so that eliminates most crops. The summers start out super hot and dry making it very difficult to even start a crop and then it becomes humid and rains a lot. If I can get a crop to survive the months of April, May, and June then I have a good chance at a successful crop. I tried last year and almost had success with the squash but everything else died quick.

    It amazes me how much time and effort goes into making even the simplest foods to store up supplies for the next few weeks. Even the tools used take time and effort. It is doubly difficult for yourself as you have no partner or group to help with the work. There are many suggestions in the comments but I wonder if they understand the amount of time and work that needs to be invested to do even the simplest tasks. I live off grid totally we generate our own power and have to source water as we have no well and waste to deal with. Even the simplest thing like turning on a tap involves thinking about the water you have and the amount of electric for the pump and heating the water. I learned a lot from 14 years off grid and it was hard at first made many mistakes but got better at it. Thanks for your time and work on the video. Take care and see you next time.

    @@TimmyVision Forgive me if I ramble a bit. The main one was electric power . I had some panels from a distributor that looked good on paper but they used a different material type I forget what but they did not work very well at all. Several reasons the best one for use was silicon crystal type they are blue in colour. But we had a different one they were black looking these work well in cloudy type weather. The other thing is the heat they didn't seem to do well in the summer in Spain. So a lot of money mostly wasted. We have the correct type now. The batteries were flooded cell type but we had 6volt in one battery as they three cells per battery. This meant we had a fault on battery which means we could not charge the others. As the voltage was to low. We now have single cell batteries which we are able to charge in one cell dies and it's way cheaper to replace on cell batteries than the three cell type. We are moving to LiPho batteries in the future. We had a large generator that did very well as a backup system but due battery problems caused far more on time than it could handle! We now have a much smaller one which works well on the intermittent use. We did have wind turbine but the wind doesn't always blow anywhere near what's needed to produce electricity and when we get wind here it can reach hurricane force which caused problem with the turbine could handle the wind. Water was another resource we had to change how thought about it . We put a bucket under the shower to collect the cold water before it warms up. The same with all water used bowls under taps if you need hot water . We use the saved water for dogs or plants or washing solar panels down they get dusty. We also don't flush the toilet for pee and the washing machine only goes on on sunny days. Even the smallest leak on water causes the pump to come on multiple times and that uses about eight hundred watts of electric. There are many other things I can't recall but it's a little bit here and there. It's been a journey! And it's only when resources are not there you realize how much we take for granted. I think it would be good if kids could be taught on this kind of thing then maybe we wouldn't be so waste full.

    At 8:10 of the video you threw cocoa shells into the fire-I think unnecessarily. In my region in the post-WWII era (I live in Poland) Cocoa shell was used as a substitute for tea. The husk is brought to a boil, boiled for about 10min then strained, added some sugar and added milk: such shell can still be bought, so sometimes I do it myself, in my opinion it is even better in taste than cocoa. I do not know how in your circumstances with access to sugar and milk, the brew itself could be too bitter, but it is worth thinking about using the husk.
