Having a background in Supply Chain Management and having studied issues in supply chain sustainability and food waste, I love seeing anything that raises awareness of the massive food waste within the supply chain, grocery stores, and homes
So much of what happens behind closed doors we never get to see. We presume it's all fine until shown or told otherwise.
@@SortedFood It's really disheartening to find out that about 40% of food is not eaten. A great documentary to check out is Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story for anyone interested in learning more
Same Honestly, I love having the Supply background and watching these
Proof that more transparency is needed. As well as better regulations, policies, and practices.
Huge part of the reason I love my grocery store. They sell ugly produce, and practically give away food that’s a few days from going. It’s perfect for stews, salad and stir fry! And because they throw/turn away less, their prices are always a bit lower than other stores, though even when they aren’t, I don’t mind.
James: "Two to tango one to mango"
Ben: "Sounds like my life"
We feel you mate :virtual_hug:
Thank you, Ben needed that.
@@SortedFood Surely an absolute snacc like Ben can't be that lonely!
@@LuminousCorruption he's too good for what the world has to offer xD
But again, it would also make a good tshirt
Mine, too.
I just wanna say guys.... I don't think the world really appreciates just how simply nice, good and wholesome you guys are.
👏👏👆☝️👆☝️👏
seconded!
it's funny i find them less and less relatable
@@Meve76 They lost me when they spoke of Slick Willy in a favorable way.
hear! hear!
Acknowledging the problems in how we source, distribute and price food was something I didn't expect, but very much appreciated. I like the mission statements of these food initiatives, and I'm eager to try some of them out. I'd love more videos about ways to enjoy food and cooking while being mindful of things like sustainability and humane business practices (I think the way you did it here was perfect -- not too heavy, just the right amount of emphasis without it becoming a lecture or affecting the tone of your work). Excellent job!

Hey Sorted team, I just wanna say that on top of giving us quality content for a decade, thank you for always putting subtitles in your videos. I'm an ESL follower and it's always very helpful.
You're welcome - takes some effort but we know they are appreciated. Thanks for saying!
@@SortedFood I'd like to thank you for the subtitles also. About a year ago the subtitles were appearing quite late so I emailed you, and you were really nice about it, understood my concerns, and promised it would be fixed - and it was! I kept forgetting to reply to thank you and eventually it felt too late, so I hope you don't mind my taking the opportunity to thank you now. I really appreciate that you understand they're important for the hearing impaired and you make the effort to add them, thank you!
@@SortedFood Subtitles are really appreciated over here too as I am hearing impaired. I tend not to watch videos that don't have them, especially if there are voice overs and I can't lipread :)
@@SortedFood yes it's very much appreciated! Thank you from the deaf community everywhere☺️
I cannot get captions on mine though in the settings it is turned on...
Haven't seen this posted yet so just fyi: KEEP XYLITOL AWAY FROM DOGS. It kills them really horrendously through a kind of diabetic shock. I love sharing safe snacks as treats with my puppies and know other dog lovers like to do the same, so if you're experimenting with xylitol in your diet or cooking keep it as well as foods and drinks made with it far out of reach of doggo! PS it's in a lot of gums and toothpaste so never use your tube for dog brushing and keep chewing gums safe and away ❤ Like to spread awareness
TOTALLY AGREE. As a vet tech, I've seen them die of it and as a result...won't support nor endorse, and I'm REALLY shocked that SORTED would.
@@RICDirector Well, at least we can consume it if it's necessary.
@@RICDirector they probably assume everyone would store their food properly out of reach of any pets…
@@RICDirector i feel like they are assuming it is kept up and away from dogs. Also, that you hopefully don't feed dogs table scraps in general
Does this also apply to Erythritol?
Definitely never put xylitol in anything you're going to feed other people without warning them - if somebody has IBS or related conditions, or just doesn't react well to it without having a specific diagnosed condition, you're signing them up for days of serious pain and inconvenience.
Also nothing you give to dogs. And that includes giving them foods that have xylitol like strawberries or cauliflower.
There are many confounding factors. among them:
- How would solving waste affect profitability of growing the crops?
- What is the environmental impact of processing the otherwise wasted food (thinking of mechanically drying the rice in particular)?
- How are the wasted products used now? They may be providing nutrients to the farm land that would need to be replaced.
Feeding people usually has more to do with logistics than with actual food (i.e. getting food from places where there is a surplus to places where it is needed). Making food production more efficient may not mean more food is available rather, the same amount of food grown by less people, which may be good or bad based on the hidden costs caused by the change in production methods.
Locally we have a company called Delta Blues that sells “Rice Middlins” that are essentially broken rice. Can use it as grits, risotto or even rice, based on your cooking technique, and saves LOADS of rice waste. (And it’s tasty 😋)
totally love that idea at the end nobody at home would care i think if you eat broken rice or unbroken it taste the same
@@TheCotzi We can buy broken rice here in The Netherlands. My parents were born in Indonesia and they would never buy broken rice. That was for the dogs...
@@claudiafrancisca6983 things i cant understand
@@TheCotzi I didn't either. As a student I bought the broken rice. It was cheaper.
No difference in taste.
@@claudiafrancisca6983 yes its the same but broken people tend to not like the foods theyfind ugly
“I-I dont do that, Jamie does that” “Do we need to get Jamie round for the blink?” Such mom vibes I love this, the poor kid
I really hoped I'd see how the rice looks like!!
THANK. YOU. for bringing up "Is it expensive, or are we used to food that shouldn't be this cheap?". That's a HUGE part of it and, I imagine, a massive hurdle for a lot of these innovators! Food and its required labor are constantly undervalued.
The cost of food is also a massive hurdle to those on minimum wage and no access to large super markets
@@gillbaldwin712 Excellent point. If food prices reflected reality, wages would have to be higher. Not a popular concept among the corporate elite.
There's a lot of stuff at the supermarket that definitely seems too cheap
The op of this thread must be a trust fund baby. Some of us have real families to feed.
"we all eat three times a day"
Ben you have too much faith in me
Ben goes to Food Expos? Cue the Music.

Major throwback! They should bring that back!!
@@anichka101 I WANT THEM TO BRING SORTED SONGS BACK!
i read that as SUPER GEEK SUPER GEEK HE'S SO SEXY
and I approve my version lol
@@Missmethinksalot1 That is equally valid as well.
Video Idea. When you were talking about rice I realised i don't know much between the different types of rice. I can name different types but couldn't tell you when they are best used, where they are from etc. Teach me Ben!!
+
Yes - I would like to see a rice comparison show.
RICE WEEK!
(or like... at least a day)
@@MrDodgerdodson didn’t they had one? Iirc it ended with the Paella burrito controversy.
Yes, this would be interesting to have Ben and James talk about!

“Food should not be that cheap.” 100%
@Jali Fruit Co. You guys are awesome.
@Jali Fruit Co. I wish I could buy from you but the exchange rate between Turkish lira and dollar/pound is way too high 😔
@Jali Fruit Co. I have been loving your pineapple that I've been getting through Imperfect Foods, it's much better quality than other brands I have gotten. I have dried my own fruit at home many times, and once acclimated to that process it becomes easier to tell the quality of the fresh fruit that was used. Thank you for doing things right.
I’m sorry but you’re just wrong. It isn’t ‘100%’ whatsoever. In fact, it’s more like 50/50. Using the blanket statement that ‘food shouldn’t be that cheap’ is ridiculous when you consider how many millions of people are literally starving to death or severely suffering from malnutrition on this planet. Yes, on one hand the producers deserve a fair wage, absolutely. They deserve not to be taken advantage of. However, when you say 100% you mean that in every context, food shouldn’t be cheap. That’s just wrong. It’s repulsive to suggest. Everyone deserves that right. Everyone deserves a chance, yet not everyone can afford to feed themselves or their own children one meal every single day. Food should cost nothing. If we distributed it properly, managed waste properly, we could accomplish that. We could ensure producers of food were paid a fair wage while ensuring no one goes without at least two decent meals every day that aren’t nutritionally void. We could ensure that decent food didn’t cost these people a dime. There’s so much malnutrition, even in rich, Western countries because they simply can’t afford decent food so I thoroughly disagree that ‘100%’ is accurate - that food ‘shouldn’t be that cheap’ because it should.
@@SophieJackson1993 100% means I agree with the comment, not that I think people should be starving. Wow.
When we get tropical fruit for cheap, who’s paying the real price? (The people who grow it.) When we get meat for cheap, who’s paying the real price? (Animals which never see the sun.)
Poor people shouldn’t be poor. There shouldn’t be starving/ malnourished people anywhere on our planet. Home or abroad, agreed. The whole system is screwed. But we’re not going to fix that by taking advantage of people so that the middle class can have luxuries for artificially cheap. That’s just increasing poverty and suffering in the long run.
Michael Brian Huttlestone: “Why don’t I get to talk at events?”
I mean, he does have the gift of the gab, as we are reminded During ‘Pass It On’.
This is very true!
@@SortedFood You should tell him that he and Janice got invited to give a talk, just for the reaction
Or the hot sauce poker face
@@69inetails That is the audition tape for the speaking events.
@@ducklinsenmayer7681 Or only Janice, if you wanted to be extra jokey.
Okay, that's the concept I love. Thank you guys for bringing up some important environmental issues...through food!
I absolutely loved all the ideas in this video- we really need to speak more about such initiatives!
Sending you lots of love! Have a great rest of the week!
We totally agree and we're glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
@@SortedFood Nice concept but the endorsement of xylitol shocks me. Stuff's toxic as heck to dogs and other animals as well, so why are we even eating it? Sorry, no.
12:15 I really appreciated seeing two professional chefs discuss that substitute and how it did or didn’t work. I think it would be cool to see James and Ben have like a sit down just discussing “fails” and how it didn’t work and what could have fixed it.
Two important things to note about Xylitol is that 1: it can be highly toxic to pets. 2: It can cause stomach upset and a laxative effect, so just keep that in mind when you're trying it!! It definitely isn't for everyone!
It is a white powder from Mexico...
Heyo, three years after this was posted. How do you think about other naturally derived sweeteners that are now mainstream? Stevia, Erythritol (which has very similar taste and qualities to Xylitol), Monkfruit, Allulose?
Googled "Inappropriate banana" out of curiosity.
Regretted it instantly.
😂😂😂
I just thought, "Depends on how you use the emoji, yeah?"
And that was with safe search on.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
James: I said 2 million!
Yes. As well as every other number.
The fact was 2 million was his first instinct and he second guessed it based on Baz's much lower number.
As a Mexican, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I got at the Mexican treats that Ben made. 🤤
But your pronunciations made me giggle 😂
I know! To me they way they pronounced it Chu-ROSS made it sound like they were Greek or something 😂
😂 I don't even speak speak fluent Spanish but growing up in Texas has taught me enough and I also got a chuckle out of their pronunciation
@No Akomplice dude fucking chill 😑 we weren't even talking about the sugar stuff we were talking about the boy's pronouncing of Spanish words
@No Akomplice hey there, not lying about anything. I invented a fermentative process instead of the chemical hydrogenation method in with xylose is reduced to xylitol through catalysis. We are still producing on a lab-scale and trying to grow to start industrial manufacturing.
You can learn more about our process here:
solve.mit.edu/challenges/circular-economy/solutions/9224
It's important to note we never claim we invented xylitol, we created a cheaper, sustainable and biotechnological method with a unique yeast strain. It's funny you looked up for other methods but didn't find our patent.

Title of your sex tape
That sad thing was, when they open the cloche, I said to myself, that looks like dried jackfruit.
I wonder how you guys would react to Survival Food, ie MRE's, Military Rations and stuff you'd normally only keep around for an emergency
I think the last ingredient, the “xylitol” sugar substitute would worry me having dogs. Xylitol can be deadly to pets, so I’ll stick with sugar.
As a rabbit owner I'm getting used to almost everything I eat is deadly for my pet. It takes some work to keep her separate from my food. But maybe the Sorted team can cook pet food though!
I was distracted by all of that Barry's double dipping...
Considering how laxative xylitol can be, I wouldn’t want to eat any larger amounts of it 😅
Also its highly toxic to cats and dogs AFAIK
+
I get terrible headaches from “false sugars” like xylitol, aspartame, etc
One of my neighbours had to stop chewing gum made with it for the explosive diarrhea it gave her..... That alone has me preferring fruit as a sweetener.
Yeah, you could sell that stuff to the constipated and make a killing.
I am currently studying sustainable food production on my food science course and this has been really helpful. It’s great to see you using your voices to help grow awareness with these issues!
the most amazing thing you guys did for this video is letting both the testers test the food and react to them next to each other AT THE SAME TIME omg i've been wanting you guys do have them react together ever since i watched the first one of these. THANK YOU
I love Ben. He's really good and cares about the world in a very proactive and pragmatic way. So awesome
We miss the Ultimate Battle guys!....
Kinda miss the normals cooking innovative dishes !
I am thinking they are doing a lot of these cause they can film a bunch in a row and so they have back log if they go back into lockdown.
I read this in Baz's voice so it was "WemisstheUltimatebattleguys.Kindamissthenormalscookinginnovativedishes." O.O Thought I had a stroke for a second. Too much coffee for one day.
Weren't those dishes all developed by James?
This is an important and informative video. I get it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but surely you can appreciate how great it is they’re giving theres humanitarian projects a platform to advertise on
@@welza001 Partly this... but also a real squeeze for 3 to be in the kitchen together.
"I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. I really didn't".

Yes guys! Would love you to do more videos about food sustainability! There are so many issues on food waste, lack of food security, food poverty... it’s great to see you tackling this!
I'm amazed there's no mention of the fact that xylitol is a laxative.
I was thinking exactly the same thing
And extremely toxic to pets.
vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/xylitol-toxicity-in-dogs
Yep I can't have anything with artificial sugars without a desperate bathroom visit, it sucks because I love Kombucha but most brands use artificial sugar to sweeten so they can say no sugar...
@@memzle Same! a sugar free sweet and it's me down for an evening with the porcelain throne.
Between that, the pet toxicity, and the instant stroke-level 3 day migraine from the alcohols....I just stick with sugar. Cane or beet, works great.
In Indonesia at early 2000s, Indofood who created Indomie, used to have instant fried rice which consisted of one which that dried cook rice, came with dried veggies and the seasoning and we just pour hot water in it for like 3 to 5 minutes.
Unfortunately, most people didn't like it, but I do. So that's why I missed it.
I remember because my dad would grocery shopping with me to the big shop downtown and I would get one of those, as if it's a treat :') good ol' days
We had a very similar product in the UK called Pot Rice, from the same company that made Pot Noodle Instant Noodles. You just added boiling water to the pot and waited 4/5 minutes as it had all the seasoning, dried vegetables and soya pieces to give a "meaty" texture.
After so many years on Sorted, James has managed to keep a teeny bit of pride and there are still things he won't do. hehe.
just for clarification: xylitol takes away heat when it dissolves in water, causing the liquid to literally cool down, menthol just provides the sensation of something being cool. When the xylitol is already in solution, like a batter, this effect disappears. Another thing to watch out for is that xylitol, just like other polyols (with the exception of erythritol) are laxatives.
And xylitol is incredibly dangerous (as in death) for dogs and cats. I would never buy it because of that risk.
@@beck3686 Bingo. As a vet tech, I've watched pets die from it. No, thanks. Won't support its use or production in ANY way.
@@beck3686 Just dont give it to your pets!! Xylitol is much better than most sweeteners
And if you have IBS it'll f*ck your life up for a good, long weekend
@@AnaMaria-wt3ix Who are you? the Aspartame Mafia?! That stuff is literally made in hell. Xylitol is one of the better sweeteners
“i’m not even lying, that happens” this is my new favorite james curry quote
I love your educational - yet thoroughly entertaining - videos so much. Together against food waste! 💪🏻
Yes please keep on with the food trends. I love dried fruit so I lean more for Jali Fruit's products. Really great stuff all around from all the companies!
wow jalico are doing incredible work! going from $2 a day to $15 a day is LIFE CHANGING!
Love this kind of video, the world needs to see all the food waste and poverty problems and I love that you encourage people to think twice when buying their groceries
Yes i am curious too. Why isn't mike invited to talk at events too😁
He's a very busy man our Mike, he heads up the production team, so event talking usually falls to Ben and Jamie 😀
@@SortedFood ooh la la Mike ... Head of production.. fancy indeed, well done!
I'd love to see a ultimate battle. Can we have some more dad jokes of the week please. They're so bad that they're amazing and I love them
The crows feet James is getting when he smiles is giving me a major case of the warm and fuzzies.
Wonderful!
I love it when you guys do episodes focused around sustainable food stuffs and being more awareness to food waste.
More please. 😊
Guess who’s back...back again? Mike is back. Tell a friend.
Reminds me when harry overtook Gemma's Instagram.
“Banana ketchup”
Me: Hey, Jufran ketchup. I love that stuff.
Jufran ketchup is a way of life
I like the UFC ketchup one.
Leon are making a good Beetroot Ketchup
It feels rude to downvote your comment just bc the thought of banana ketchup makes me wanna vomit.
Incredible episode with a great idea. Love that you guys are doing episodes like this, it would be nice if you could do more of these!
I'm really enjoying these reviews on sustainable/innovative new products and trends, hope to see more!
It's interesting seeing these bougie-ass jars for banana ketchup heralding it as some new and wonderful banana-saving thing, when it's been a staple condiment in the Philippines for a VERY long time (first mass produced in 1942, but María Orosa created the recipe in the 20/30s- an exact date isn't known), and you can get a bottle at basically every grocery store in the US for about half the price of those (1.54 gbp at current exchange rate). Don't get me wrong, it really is good for lowering food waste, but it's not by any means "changing the game". They're just rebranding it to market it to white people.
Jufran is life.
At 9:27 James mentions food should not be this cheap, yes that may be a fact but another fact sadly enough is that if they were to raise the price of foods to be more accurate/relative to the actual production price and not underpay the workers I would not be able to afford a proper meal and as far as I would guess I would not be the only one with that problem. (I'm a student)
So glad someone said this. Unless minimum wage went up here and students like us got more support we'd go hungry. Such a shame as I always strive to be more ethical. But living below the breadline isn't helpful there.
True. Though it's worth mentioning that current affordability of food is basically a lie we tell ourselves to feel good. It would be a lot closer to truth if we'd say that SOMEONE else is paying part of the price, so our cut is small and affordable. If the wealth of the world was distributed more equally - i.e. we'd earn similar wages worldwide (now differences are huge - average gross salary in UK is 73K, but in Indonesia it's just 27K) - we'd have similar problems and more equal opportunities. I mean, for Europeans and North Americans to have easily accessible housing, food, water supply, recreation and thousands of affordable goods, millions in developing countries pay in carrying water in buckets many km a day, living in diy huts for houses, having one change of clothes and no electricity etc. We have to realize that - if the prices were higher for us, other people would have a tiny tiny bit of what we take for granted. Maybe we'd eat less or wouldn't be able to afford beer/snacks, but it's nothing compared to poor living conditions people at the other end of the food chain are facing. Rising prices of food would hardly make working students starve... Maybe they would have to live on bread, two bowls of rice and some fruit/vegetable a day. Just like the people that grew and brought that food to our tables are living now.
@@Rillka Well I don't think in order for this to improve students or other "normal" people would have to compromise on their situation, I think if we were to try to improve this we should try to equalize this more by really affecting the truly rich, I believe that many companies have certain people in their ranks who could earn 100 thousand or maybe a million per year (per person) without noticing much difference in their lifestyle. And what you said about students then just having to eat less and less good, I can tell you I eat as cheaply as I can purely because I already struggle to afford it like this, I personally don't work but seeing as my average time spent on my study in 1 week is around 50-60 hours and some times spikes up to around 90 hours I don't think I could handle a job.
@@megamert2848 of course, I get that it's difficult for you. All I'm saying is that being in position that allows you to 1) study, 2) not work, 3) still have housing and food - all at once, is an immense privilege we have to realize and acknowledge. And yes, of course it would be better if the richest shared their wealth (for example, I calculated that Bill Gates could spend over 25 milion dolars A DAY until he dies before he'd run out of money, similarly Donald Trump could spend 2,8 milion dolars a day). But it doesn't change the fact that we - as citizens - are privileged in our lifestyle. It's not to say that we're doing something wrong or are bad - it's just acknowledgement that for our comfort, our way of life, there are people paying the price. Food isn't cheap for us because it's cheap to make and transport - it's cheap because someone's getting underpaid.
@@Rillka I mean you make a point but to be honest there isn't just poor people in the East or Africa or whatever. You can find poor people here, in the West too. Now they generally will have a better time of it then their counterparts in the other parts of the world due to socialised systems supported by the wider population of that country that might enable them to get social housing, food stamps. While these things can be abused by some to live off of others that isn't everyone. Some people are legitimately poor and could not afford an increase in food which is why own brands and discount or warehouse style shops do well/exist. Such shops are often found in lower income areas.
I did criticise you when you teamed up with lobbyists of the agricultural industry who are responsible for many problems.
Now I applaud you for raising awareness to huge, but fairly unknown problems and companies searching for solutions.
I absolutely love that you guys are showing us these things that otherwise might be buried under events that "normals" usually don't even hear of. Thanks for that!
Wouldn't it be cool if I could get,

Also the measuring stick y'all use for the concept of "pretentious", but that's none of my business.
Love these videos!! Interesting to see which companies are doing good things to help the planet and be able to support them, thank you
Love this video! Really enjoy hearing/learning about unused food and food waste being used!
Thank you guys for posting this video! This has given me tons of ideas for businesses that I might be able to start locally. If it has given me ideas some stupid guy on the west coast I'm sure that it's given thousands of other people ideas as well, keep up the awesome videos! You guys might help influence a change in the world
Them being like "I never keep sugar in my house" is bananas. A quarter of the recipes in the Packs app call for caster sugar.
It's weird -- sugar is much better than sweeteners
In all honesty ive been watching this channel for years and ive gotta say at this point through all of their progression Jamie Barry and Mike are considered chefs in my eyes
I really enjoyed this one guys, I love learning about the new innovations in food, especially when it comes to food waste. The competition is something I hadn’t heard about before so I may check it out! I love to see you guys talking about food waste and responsibly sourcing your food and ingredients, especially in this format as it’s unbiased and comes from the point of view of a normal who wouldn’t necessarily be thinking to much into food past their grocery shopping, and a chef who has to think about recipes and substitutions and such. Don’t wanna bang on to much though, just wanted to say it was a great video. Cheers guys, hope everyone in the studio is healthy and keeping well! 🤍
Love love love when you guys talk about sustainability, you should look up the Institute for sustainable food (IFSF) in Sheffield! We do great research on these things! :)
It's great to see the innovation being done with these products in regards to food waste. This issue with food waste is still not going to end because of people's ideas on how to use ingredients that are "spoiled" or not "good" for the market. Because the whole issue is that people growing the crops in a lot of countries can't benefit from what they themselves grow, because it's more economically viable for a lot of countries to export the products instead of feeding their own people. I currently live in the Dominican Republic and DR is one of the biggest exporters of bananas (in all kinds of varieties). But sadly because of the majority of the land being owned by big companies that then "have" to export them, because exporting they will make soooo much more money then selling it locally, a lot of locals can't afford to buy the rest that is still here because of the high demand locally. And instead of actually giving away food that is about to spoil, because of a lot of different reasons, it gets thrown away. And making another type of product based upon what would be thrown away, will still not solve the issue as the people actually needing food at a low cost won't be able to purchase those products as they might not be available in their country or will be too expensive. So great job in innovating solutions, but still doesn't solve or even try to attack the real issue with the disequilibrium in food demand and in return food waste.
hat off to sorted guys for talking about sustainable foods! this needs much more attention!
Thanks for the reminder to like the video near the end of the video!! I always watch on full screen, and I'm not going to stop in the middle to make the screen smaller to give the video a like, so good logical sense!
I’m Indian: My Vote is *RICE RICE RICE*
I'm American. Rice is the clear winner.
Pronunciation tip: the "j" in "cajeta" is pronounced like an "h". So, more like "kah - HEH - tah".
I know right, at first I didn't understand what he said, but I guess it's understandable it's an unusual word
@@monsebp3817 well, it is in spanish. J in spanish is pronounced like H is in english
@@wave1090 yeah bit I mean, chefs usually learn the correct pronunciation of dishes, but even in cooking standards is not a normal word
which means "c*nt" in northern argentinian spanish
I was so confused because I kept hearing "courgetta" and wondering where the zucchini was...
THIS EPISODE was phenomenal! Stand out! More sustainability initiatives! 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
When a channel is so consistently excellent that you hit like while the intro is still playing 😁💖
Mike: trying to adress the serious issue.
James: but I guessed 2 million!!!!
James: I'd expect to pay about £4 for 2 kilos.
Mike: So, £3 a kilo then?
Err....
And James nods vigourously, agreeing to it. I was so confused by both of them - I thought Barry was the one weak at Maths!
absolutely love the focus on food sustainability! Another amazing video
Thank you for trying new things and taking risks. I love that you’re introducing us to new products.
I've been on a SORTED video binge for like a week now and I think I'm in love with Ben...maybe its the lockdown talking but he's my perfect man hahaha
one of the few things that keeps us sane :D
U have a very very very dull life then
I love when the boys do sustainability videos. Can't get enough. Do a video on the other contenders!
Rice Inc was a winner for me. I'll definitely be keeping an eye for their bags. Also quite intrigued by the banana ketchup.
I mean, God Damn, James is jacked!
jack fruit?
it's ok, Ben, Quarantine has made everyone's life like that.
I LOVED this video, please do more about sustainable options!!
LOVED the jackfruit wages thing! LOVED!
Fun fact: mangoes are FAR from the only species that self pollinates. Peppers, tomatoes, squash, even some species of peaches!
Not so Fun Fact: Many pickers get nasty rashes and contact dermatitis as the sap the tree exudes contains urushiol oil like is found in poison ivy.
Ahhhh that “Cazhetta” was almost painful Hahahah
Thank you! A global hunger crisis while we have massive food waste is such an appalling tragedy. Thank you for bringing the issue forward and for highlighting people who are trying to make a difference. I really hope these pruducts are available in the U.S.
"Sound like my life"... Ben keeps up the old Ben tradition. Great going, mate! And great Sorted video.
I’m so happy to see The Jackfruit having its moment.
@Jali Fruit Co. Great Work! All the best!
My sister recently discovered that she's severely allergic to jackfruit - she might have gone her whole life not knowing about it without the new popularity of them.
A person cannot actually digest xylitol, that’s why it doesn’t count for calories. On that note of not digesting - you definitely get the poops if you have too much at a time. How did the guys do after that sampling 😂 lol

Oooo!! Thank you, I didn't know that, even though I've used it before 😄
That's wrong, we can digest sugar alcohols and get energy from them. Otherwise they'd be listed as 0 calories like fibers are.
Xylitol, Sorbitol, Maltitol etc are all perfectly well digested at reasonable amounts.
Eating a whole bag of sugar free gummy bears will have laxative effects' in most people cause our gut isn't fast enough to absorb sugar alcohols which means the bacteria will feast on it, and water will be drawn into the intestine.
@@Cationna Sugar alcohols including Xylitol DO HAVE calories and can be used for energy by our bodies.
Just half es efficiently as regular sugar.
And they get absorbed much slower from the intestine, so large amounts act like an osmotic laxative in people susceptible to that effect.
25-50% is digested in people. Bacteria consume the rest.
Food really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people eat together
I love these type of videos because chef skills and challenges help me improve my kitchen skills and knowledge of different recipes and ideas, but food trend videos teach me about what happens outside the kitchen that I had no idea about so it’s always an interesting learning opportunity
James: l don't have sugar in my house
So when a recipe calls for sugar what would you replace the sugar with? #genuinelycuriousnow
Can replace with honey instead
Or he's the neighbour that borrows a cup of sugar😉
I replace sugar in a lot of my recipes with medial dates.
Every time I see that intro I can't help but think Ben is using that coconut scraper wrong. Should be facing away from him so he can pull the coconut half onto the spinning blades with his hands on the side of it. Would let him see what he's doing and keep his hands and rest of his body away from the dangerous part as much as possible.
Thanks a lot for using your platform to showcase sustainable and positive impact foods!! Great inspiration for me :-)
Thank you for doing this and bringing these to our attention.
I love the videos you make discussing eco-friendly, sustainable foods that help people in poverty. It's so great to see the promotion of changes that everyone is going to need to consider and make at some point in the next 30 years. And it's way more interesting than trends like charcoal colouring or whatever lol
This is all well and good, but the question in the back of my mind is whether or not the actually solves the problem. Does adding products to the market shelf actually cut down on waste overall? What if processing wasted rice or wasted bananas into products leaves other areas where waste increases making the net change negligible? I feel like the reality of the issue is that nobody is interested in making sustainable products that are intended simply to feed people regardless of returns.
Assuming we currently have the capacity to produce enough food to feed pretty much everyone, it seems like the problem is logistical. We have excess supply in the first world, and not enough demand for people to deliver that excess to areas where it's needed.
Don't take this the wrong way, I like the attempt. I think the Rice is great, and likely the most effective at achieving their goals.
Decreasing food waste doesn't feed more people directly. It just increases the supply per investment which causes the price to go down slightly and the amount of rice planted to go down slightly. A bit more people do get access to the food because the price goes down but it doesn't increase the availability of the food.
This is still totally worth it, cheaper food does mean less hunger, but its not accurate to say it will feed 30% more people.
Brilliant idea for the video! I'm determined to buy more Rice inc now.
This video along with the non-electric slow cooker were fascinating. I like how you guys not just cook different things and have fun but also educate us as the community about trends, some of which can bring some good to the world. Please keep it up! I can't wait for more of those :)
