Nile talks about lab safety: • Chemistry is dangerous. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Chocolate is pain
Next time, maybe you can synthesize it? Edit: Hoping Nile will see this. Video idea: extract and refine the potassium from bananas, and make and burn a pure potassium banana.
Chocolate is life

I hate how acurate this is. This man just straight up drank rotten juice, told us it takes roten (like alkohol) and proceeds to take another sip
I laughed way too hard at that
My guess is they fed it to their dogs or cattle, and possibly fed it to their children as even going into the modern day I know of people just trying random foods out they heard were great for development on their kids despite not ever growing up on or trying such a thing themselves. As insane as that sounds
Natural selection
Apparently people learned that pufferfish are toxic after Asian(?) fishermen would eat them without knowing how to clean the skin. Pufferfish produce a powerful neurotoxin called ttx.

Making chocolate is such a complicated process with so many different steps, it's an absolute miracle that anyone ever figured it out.
I mean the fruit grows in tropical climates so it's entirely possible this process was discovered after a fruit fell on the ground and fermented itself for a couple days and then was broken open and naturally dried out in the sun.
What the first responder said, and we're also seeing the end result of probably a couple hundred years of Mayan trial and error.
@@blueisasomedancer
And roasting different types of beans is also an ancient technique shared by almost all cultures. The powder of those roasted Coco beans put into water was then usually as far as it went, at least pre colonial age. If you experiment with adding that stuff to pastries, straight up adding sugar and a bit of fat isn't that much of a stretch afterwards
Chocolate was originally a drink, not the stuff we know today.
@@blueisasomedancerit was probably observed a few times I know some tribes in South America also ferment stuff by putting large leaves on it and leaving it in the sun … which again doesn’t seem like such a big stretch in a heavily forested area to occur naturally…

@frank L I’m confused how you believe you’ve ever tempered chocolate without bringing it past 104F/40C.
It sounds like you’re using chocolate that’s already tempered, and only heating it up to working temperature, which is honestly the best way to do it.
A third option is heating the bulk of the chocolate to 100F/39C and adding in ~10%+ of tempered chocolate to bring down the temperature and seed it with the proper crystals, which will cause the entire batch to auto-temper

As someone who has worked pastry, you actually did a great job tempering it. Tempering chocolate is famously difficult. For your first time, I'd say you nailed it.
having a sou vide machine that can accurately control temperature was key
really hard to temper on stovetops, even with double boiler methods, managing heat/temp is where the problems start

How in holy crap did ancient humans figure chocolate out? Who was bored or hungry enough to beat their head over how to cook that alien nightmare until they figured it out?
They didn't.
Some Native Americans in relative recent history figured out that you could extract a kind of ...watery chocolate drink by basically using cleaned chocolate pods as tea leaves; and that was only 4,000 years ago. Chocolate is one of the most recently domesticated crops in humans "arsenal"; the cultivars aren't as well established as say... wheat or certain kinds of fruit tree.
Modern chocolate we know it is *exactly that*, having essentially only been first produced just a few hundred years ago; which means the domesticated cultivars that we use currently for chocolate production are about as old. Like, the history of chocolate's domestication and use is extremely modern history; with its primary use in the Americas to make a "chocolate drink" for special occasions from wild cacao trees being a few thousands years old, but refined chocolate being extremely new.
@@Vaprous but still, who da hell would look at the cacao fruit and be like: you know what, let's eat this stuff
@@shanggosteen9804 Most food started exactly like that. Just look at a stalk of wheat and try to imagine a time before bread, or the first guy to see a calf suckling from its mother's utters and thinking, "I wonder if I could drink that too."
From what I know it took time for chocolate to be invented the drink before chocolate used by South American was more like a beer with spices in it and stuff,And was probably not enjoyed by the Europeans,because of its taste. The modern chocolate we know was a different recipe,it started with little squares and stuff and various chocolate makers introduced milk and sugar to make it taste better,and boy did its popularity explode.
Oh yeah? In Brazil we a have a local traditional food called "Maniçoba" (like Many-soba) that is deadly poisonous (cianidric acid) for 6 days of cooking, only in the 7th it's safely edible. I wonder how many died trying that until they figure out "ohhhhh, so the 7th day is the charm!".

Chocolate doesn't tend to release noxious fumes or explode if you do a step wrong 😂
Also, coming from a cocoa producing country, there’s not much research about making chocolate in general. There’s some guidelines for making a chocolate feel fancier but everyone’s really just winging it or doing what already works
ideal sousvide temperature is around 54°C and general infusions, for example, could be left 'cooking' for an hour at that temp'

honestly the super grainy pre-tempered dark chocolate fudge looked the tastiest to me, yet somehow it's the one thing you didn't actually try when you had the chance to
Nutella.
The 1st time i did it too it came out just the same, and honestly it felt pretty bad. It's not a grainy type of "chew it and it will disolve" type of grainy texture, it's more of a full on beach sand with powdered coco taste, it obstructs the pure chocolate flavor. So eventually it is necessary to dissolve it better.

Nile is the type of Person that orders fruits online
I went to Hawaii and had a tour of a chocolate farm. Got to eat a cacao bean out of a pod right from the tree. It was mushy and sweet but didn’t taste like chocolate until you bit into the hard seed inside.
I'm always baffled how humans figured out how to turn slimy alien larvae into delicious chocolate. Like how did someone go: "Yeah I want to eat stuff made from this" and "I think I'll dry it for a week and see how it is"
I feel like this video really explained how they got to “dry it for a week”- everything before that was disgusting 😂
Someone definitely said "Hey this tastes pretty good but I could do without the goo. How do I do that..."
From there they got rid of all the moisture they could. I'm lost on how they figured out on making it ferment though...
@@kirbyis4ever maybe someone found one that had been cracked and already fermented from exposure?
@@appalachiabrauchfrau You may be onto something. Apparently the proper way of making chocolate is having it ferment in a sealed area and then fermenting again when exposed to air. Cocoa pods could have fallen from a tree, fermented partly in the pod, and then be cracked open and fermented exposed to air.
People fermented stuff all the time in old times, probably started as a preservation technique. Also keep in mind that the indigenous people who invented chocolate exclusively consumed it as a drink or as an ingredients in something else, solid bar chocolate was not invented until the industrial revolution.
I hope I never get to a point in my life where I won't laugh with Nigel when I see chocolate being pooped out of a bag

He's probably had a lot of experience with precisely heating things
Let's get this all out on to a tray.
Nice.

Nilered: "trying it right now might be dangerous"
Nileblue: "Should I try it"
Normal person: cleans table
Nile: just replaces the whole table
If that table has been used for chemistry it’s uncleanable in some cases- safety issue. Particles hang around forever
I love how the first thing you learn in almost every lab course is “lab safety” including not eating or drinking anything in the lab, and Nile just says “I wonder what it tastes like” in almost every video.
I almost got suspended for trying to sneak out pure caffeine
To quote Nile and his buddy in another video:
'Safety first!' "No, just.. stupidity last."
-Is It Really Science If You Kant Eat It 😀
he's making a food product
@@MCDreng in the cotton to cotton candy video on nilered he has the thought "i really wanna drink that" when looking at a vaguely latte-like mixture 😭
I appreciate the masking tape name tag. Very creative. :)
I know I'm late to this video, but if you want a really good insight into making chocolate, there's a place in Hamburg Germany called Chocoversum, and their tour was great, honestly would give some good tips on producing chocolate from scratch.
Watching Nile Blue makes me realize that Nile Red must be one of the most well edited channels on TH-cam; when you peak behind the current and you see just how unhinged, messy, and hap-hazard Nile can really be at times
After watching trash taste where he guessed in, he was already this unhinged since he was 9……….
Also from watching trash taste, you learn that in nile red he does a lot of experiments before hand and plans where to place the items and how he moves his hands etc so it all looks relaxing and smooth.
yeah lol. Like the other replies said, watching the trash taste interviews really helped me know what to expect. Here’s one where he talked ab burning himself with acid while filming a video

He re-films and re-does voice overs *a lot* he wants it to be as close to perfect as possible. He's talked about it a lot on safety third
