Grain has to be malted (germinated then roasted) before its starch can be converted into sugar. When you mix malted grain with cold water and gradually bring it to a boil, a process known in the beer industry as mashing, the heat will activate the enzymes that were produced by the malting process.

@morristgh

3 жыл бұрын

You are talking about the (much more efficient) enzymatic process used in beer making. Driven by the enzymes especially prominent in grains like barley or rye. Adam is talking more about some sort of "brute force" chemical reaction where extended heating will cause the starches to break down eventually. Just adding to water to starch will also break the glycosidic bonds to some degree.

I haven't touched cereal since I was a kid. Neither do I eat porridge in the morning, I absolutely hate the fact I get hungry so fast afterwards. I fry some good old eggs and a couple slices of bacon and that keeps me stuffed for hours. Low calorie count compared to cereal if you think about it, no need to eat another bowl soon later.

In Italian we call the double-baked bread "Fette biscottate" which translates to "twice baked slices", they last very long, taste kinda like nothing, but is like premade toast (a very very very dry toast) good if you're in a hurry in the morning (or just lazy).

Assuming that’s what I in the UK would call porridge, that’s very understandable. I didn’t even do it for weight reasons, I just got tired of being hungry so soon after eating. The only cereals I kept bothering with are Weetabix and fruit ‘n fibre because they also kept me satisfied. Bacon and eggs also keeps you going for a long time, and the fat content is generally also in the right ratio vs protein (such as weight trainers look for) to maximise absorption, and it sorta serves to replace the complex carbs as the fuel (while the protein serves as the building blocks for your body to build/repair). Where porridge is complex carbs and protein (from both the milk and the oats). I’ll usually slice a banana on top or add some berries with porridge, or Weetabix, or fruit ‘n fibre, for the quick pick me up in the morning (not to mention helping with the five a day).

just eat less and move more. So as long as your diet is full of nutrients youll be fine. If your fat is made up of shit quality toxic sludge then you wont take in nutrients and feel perpetually hungry every time your body has to fall back on crap fat stores. Seasonally people gain fat for the winter and then shed most of it due spring. Holding onto same fat stores for years is a bad thing. Lots of things can go wrong. The lower your body mass (still healthy) the easier it is for the body to manage.

Really well done. I'm impressed at how much effort went into recreating the Kellogg brothers' various intermediate attempts at Wheat Thins/Corn Flakes. And obviously into the research itself. Lots of effort goes into these vids and it shows, even if some of it only manifests in very subtle ways.

Huh... Was absolutely certain this'd be a "Magic Spoon" episode.

In the cold north of Sweden we still eat "knäckebröd" (crisp bread). It's bread baked thin to dry up as much as possible in the oven, traditionally varied in cereal used for it depending on region, sometimes it even was made unleavened. A poll some while back approximated that 85% of Swedes have knäckebröd at home (and for good reason, being baked like that really brings out other more complex flavors and has incredible shelf life if properly stored). Knäckebröd, in particular the rye flour kind, really serves as a good base for just about any type of topping to contrast it (the heterogeneity thing) and imo highlight the best in both the bread and the topping instead of competing for attention (to an extent).

@taxdragon

I agree. My parents were born and raised in Scandinavia (Sweden and Denmark), so I was raised with knækbrød. I would get anxious if I ran out and I live in Canada. It's kind of funny that a 100% rye knækbrød doesn't compete with the flavour of the topping, but 100% rye rugbrød does compete.

I learned a TON of things in this video and i thouroughly enjoyed it! Love your vids, keep it up!

Another thing to consider... in the 19th and early 20th centuries most Americans did alot of manual farm work. My grandpa didn't even own a tractor on the farm he grew up on in the 1920's and 30's, they just had a mule, and after the war he became a postal worker and walked miles ever day. That glucose from breakfast cereal would have mostly gone straight into energy for work in the morning. They also had greater insulin sensitivity to begin with because most Americans had quite a bit lower BMI than today.

"He believed the key to longevity was to not enjoy anything" welp. sounds like I'm gonna live for a thousand years XD

Your pacing on this video has definitely improved over the last several. Much more watchable, and I feel like I have more time to digest the large volume of concise and helpful info you are putting out. It's almost back to the normal pacing you had about a year ago.

Its really interesting seeing this process and understanding what they went through to get the flake they wanted. A really big curiosity of mine is thinking on just how so many methods of food processing, preparations, cooking and baking were even came up with in the first place.

I still struggle to believe that the man who made the now sugar coated breakfast cereals I grew up eating thought having tasty food would literally kill you because it was tasty...

Hey Adam, sorry I didn't use your code when I bought some magic spoon. I sorta forgot or figured it wouldn't work in Canada, but then I saw it does literally after I'd already bought it because they ask where I heard about them lol, for whatever that's worth to you and anyone else!

One of your best science videos yet Adam! Great job! ❤️

Your videos never disappoint! Top notch content.

Hello Adam, You do a wonderful job with all your videos, editing, script, and everything. However, in most recent videos there is a sound in the sound mix. A squishing sound, something akin to a very subtle fart sound. I love your videos but perhaps that is a detail you might want to look into.

haha.. German's my mother tongue. I never thought of Zwieback referring it to being baked twice xD Zwieback the way I ever had it was always sweet. It's not far removed from like a Biscotti. Also "Zwie-" is pronounced "Tsvee" like "Zwieback" or "Zwielicht" 'Twilight' "Zwei" is 'Tsvai' like in "Zweihänder".

Edit: so it turns out this is a really dumb suggestion I made. But I'll leave it up rather than delete it, since there was a good conversation that came afterwards. I'm going to guess that the original German is zweiback and somehow it got mutated into zwieback in English. Official English pronunciation is "ZWEE-back" although the ancestral German side of my family is begging me to say "TSVAI-bock"

@@vinnytube1001 uhhh maybe. In modern highGerman it's "Zwieback" which I'd transliterate as 'Tsveebuck' for Americans. Zwie- and Zwei are both used in different words. Zwei just means 2 by itself. Zwie- is more of a prefix, you never see it by itself. But ye Mittelhochdeutsch and Altdeutsch were not as centrilised as modern Hochdeutsch is so they had all kinds of words. It's still kinda like that today with the different dialects of German. Language is not easy to pin down. Words do strange things.

My grandparents favorite dish was Saumagen, if that helps. ;) Of course by the time I was growing up, our use of German was down to just a few words sprinkled into a 99.9% English vocabulary.

@@vinnytube1001 Saumagen xD I'm dying. I gotta look dat up. It always cracks me up just how blatantly honest the German naming conventions can be. I'm from Vienna but my Mom grew up in Rosenheim. So I grew up hearing the different words used in the different areas a lot and I'm used to explaining words from one side to the other. German's tend to get very confused when they hear Viennese xD

@@Broockle No doubt. My intuition - which I accept was wrong - about zwie/zwei being mixed up is because the sound of ei/ie are either reversed (or just different) between German and English. It trips up a lot of Americans trying to pronounce German words. Seemed totally reasonable that a misspelling could enter our lexicon (oven though it didn't).

I love this channel. And this guy is a great story teller

It’s crazy how good you are at sliding your sponsorships in

Personally, home made bread is a close second to pre-packaged industrial bread when it comes to longevity, but maybe it's because i generally add whole grain flour (even homemade white bread always seems to stale quicker). Ps: it's pronounced zwee-back (zwee like your yelling out "weee" when going down a slide, and back like you'd pronounce Johann Sebastian Bach).

Wasn't there bread anyway? I can't imagine farm workers being like "this bread ain't fresh! I won't eat this!" Sourdough bread was a thing here, and it still held up for several days without going totally stale.

Yeah, I thought that was a really weird comment he made about bread. When I bake sourdough I don’t even touch it until the next day (slices better), and it just sits under a metal bowl - no plastic or modern equipment. It then lasts all week, never going mouldy, just slowly drying out. The idea that bread without industrial preservatives is only good the day you bake it is absurd.

I remember my grandma saying, they baked lots of bread once a week, and when it was especially good, they said “this is gonna be a tough rest of the week“ because they'd eat almost all of it right away. They had breadboxes and storage cellars for hundreds of years now, some even with ice.

Here's a fun tidbit for you: When American white bread first hit the market here in Lebanon, it was double baked, so it was called "toast". Then when technology permitted for the typical bread to be shipped here, people started calling it "soft toast".

great video as always adam!

1:32 I'm sorry Mr Ragusea but I have to disagree. I bake my own bread and when baked in the evening it stays fresh not only the day after but also for 2-3 days after baking if wrapped in towels correctly. I don't add anything extra to it, just flour, water, salt and yeast and I don't think my bread flour contains any preservatives.

it probably contains something that keeps your bread more stable.

As a german, hearing you pronounce "zwiback" is hilarious^^ Great video!

That first handful of granola you showed - 6:12 - reminds me of classic Sanitarium Granola. I love classic Granola, though as far as I know, it can only be obtained now from Adventist Bookstores, and the Avondale College store (Avondale is an Adventist college on the Central Coast (between Newcastle and Sydney). Standard method for eating granola is soaking it in boiling hot water until it's nice and soft. Then do as you wish - milk, sugar, chopped fruit - I remember one church camp I went to the meeting tent I was going to (I don't recall if the was the Early-Teen tent (13-16) or the Youth tent (16-30)) but the point was they were serving free breakfast and the granola they served had diced dates in it.

Hey Adam! Can you please make a science video on artificial/diet sweeteners? Love the content!

Kellog's "vitality" thing sounds like a total myth. Wasn't it just to help keep people's libido low? Less dopamine receptor downregulation compared to sugary cereals.
