We hope you have a chance to visit our friends at El Buen Cacao in Idyllwild, CA! If you can't make it in person, you can order some of their incredible chocolate here: www.elbuencacao.co
please buy Fair trade organic chocolate to help free the 1 million children in slave labor conditions providing 70% of US chocolate - see this documentary for details: th-cam.com/video/7Vfbv6hNeng/w-d-xo.html The Dark Side of Chocolate.
this is consistently some of the best science communication on youtube, i'm so glad the channel is finally getting the exposure it deserves and that you are able to take on bigger projects =)
s/science/stem/ # most of what i remember is math... and now that I think of it, what happened to Kim's planned video series? i was really looking forward to it
Thank you so much for your kind message! We're always trying to stay true to our mission of videos that teach you a little more of the real science behind a subject. There are always so many topics we want to cover! Kim plans on returning to the biology series in 2020 - but first we have a HUGE Python series to tackle! Next year should be so much fun! 💜🦉
@@Socratica well, i've been following for years (i think at least 3? maybe a bit more) and it *really* shows. the quality of the content and the presentation is superb, even if a video is about something i think i know inside and out i will usually watch it because i always get something out of it (even if it's just thinking how you approach the pedagogical aspects). and perhaps most striking of all is your integrity as a team, the respect you have for all audiences, it's abundantly clear to me that your mission really is what you say it is, and i can't say that for many other channels (even ones i respect, and whose content i enjoy not that i blame them for cutting corners or focusing too much on marketing/PR).
Thank you for a very comprehensive and informative video timeline of chocolate's origin, molecular components, cultivation and the processing of this delectable delight! Your analogy of the various types of grapes in a vineyard to strains of cacao was spot on and I enjoyed learning about the different types of cacao with Criollo being the *Best of the Best!* I didn't realize that making chocolate was such an involved process, especially about the tempering of cocoa butter and the six polymorph phases with phase V producing the optimum result! Thank you my *Socratica* friends for such an enlightening video about chocolate!
Dear Tracy, we're so glad you enjoyed our chocolatey video! We had such a blast making it and learning more about this amazing treat. We have new respect for how much effort and science goes into making chocolate bars, for sure!!
I love your channel, this one episode is gold, you cannot thank Eric from the Good Cacao enough. I am a bit doubtful about the origin of the cacao plant. Would have liked if you mentioned how the flower is pollinated, which is interesting. What I would like to know is if cacao was created by selection as maize was by the mesoamerican cultures
Now, *that* is my kind of lab! :-) I remember the different crystal structures of cocoa butter from when I was studying food chemistry. Much tastier than the protein crystals I otherwise grew.
Not a big fan of chocolate, especially dark chocolate. However, the science and process around growing, harvesting and processing chocolate is of great interest to me. Thanks for the marvelous video. Looking forward to the next one.
Is the growing within 20° of the Equator due to higher average temperatures, longer daylight hours, lack of winters, higher occurrence of rainfall, different color of sunlight that gets through the atmosphere, or some specific combination of these or something else entirely?
Great video, im doing an investigation into chocolate and the effects on heart rate during excersise of it. I'd love to quote your work, however I cannot find if you have provided any sources, would you be able to reference me where your infomation is coming from?
So I have slammed six ounces of raw cacao powder today already and I feel SLAMMIN'! My heart is pounding something fierce like the SUN is in there or something...is this healthy, or should I be on my way to the emergency room right about now or something?(like I keep dancing around like a cartoon character in the kitchen all goofy and stuff...what the heck is going on around here?)
SOCRATIVA PLEASE READ THIS Hi Socratica, you seem to have the answer to everything, i just discovered your channel recently, and it seems by seeing your videos that you like everything. I have one question for you, if you could answer, it would be awesome!, tho it's a long text, hope you have patience... I am constantly depressed on how i was educated... like... i was a very smart kid, and i used to ace on every test on primary school(including somtimes the teacher would give me a test from one year above mine and i woudl still have 100%). But when i realized the others that took bad grades and almost failed and reprove we're always on the same stage (class) as me, i started to understand that if i couldn't climb levels (skipping the 3rd year for example and going for 4th), i started to don't give a damn about school and learning (didnt see the beauty of learning everything on that time and no one mentioned it)... And the class had the policy the if one classmate does anything bad everything has to pay as him as well. I started getting bad grades and stuff like that just to pass the year... I started earning a lot of bad habits and addictions, such as videogames and pretty much that... Then, when i got into highschool i started studying again, hoping i would only achieve 100% on every single test as before... Not what happen. Then i got depressed because i only had 83% and stuff like that, even knowing everything about the subject (feels like it misses common knowledge that everyone knows but since i started to zen mode on classes since 5th class i didnt have it), i couldn't nailed it. I feel like im steel depedent of videogames... and i think more about videogames than things that i should think like how the universe works... I can't express well for words the things i think, and that frustastes me... Feels like i am totally another person and i waste all my potencial, and i am ruined cause all of the videogames... feels like if i did the highschool when i was seven years old i would get better results... I feel like it's too late to understand any kind of subject, everything depresses me, feels like i want to understand everything in one day to compensate all the other seven years going blanked that ishould have learned every cool thing in the universe (since the child mind have a lot of capacities) instead of spending doing none (i could have learned this things but i didnt know it exists so i played videogames)... BTW now-a-days i start to have interests on everything but feels like its too much to start on a older age (18). Feels like i want to think and i constantly have breaks... maybe because of that zen thing i used to do... like i cant be concentrate... tho i dont have tDah. How can i dont have this breaks and focus concentrating? I would like to know if you were always learning new things since little, or if you started to learn things later, i would like to know if you know how can a person like this achieve the cognitive level she had when she was smart. How should i train to don't have this mental break while thinking of something ( i didnt have this when i was younger)? (i would like to see your opinion in this answering comment (not from any other person like a mental health professional) because it always makes sense even if you dont know which is the most probable thing). P.S. DON'T LIKE THE COMMENT
Dear Socratica Friend, What you are describing is something that happens to so many people we know! That feeling like your best years are over, and you can't figure out how to get back to that earlier age when you had so much potential. Don't worry. These are seasons that we all go through. We especially got this feeling in college when we were SO OVERWORKED that it felt like we didn't know how to learn the most basic thing anymore. But when we graduated and started our jobs, all of a sudden we realized - oh, our brains still work, we were just too overwhelmed by our workload in school. Wouldn't it be a great thing if you didn't feel like you had to cram all your learning into a few years. Really, that's our aim with Socratica - to help people keep learning, even long after they leave school. Take care. And maybe stay in touch with our "Study Tips" series, because we're starting to incorporate some topics about taking care of yourself and manage your stress levels so you can thrive. bit.ly/Stress_Help
what makes you say that? the format is very different and the scope is broader, it's certainly not as information dense, is that what you're referring to?
@@foobargorch I think you're confusing production with content. I'm referring to the actual production of the video, like the audio, camera work, editing (to an extent). The entire time they were interviewing at the chocolate maker's shop, his audio was absolutely horrible. You can tell they tried to fix it by using a noise filter that samples a noise floor and actively tries to attenuate that floor. In some parts the audio is barely audible, almost as if they just gave up. This is a stark contrast to many of their other videos. Watch any of the Python series. The production on those videos is absolutely perfect so I know they know what they're doing. It would be nice to see them carry that attention to detail across all of their videos so I'm not struggling to hear the dialogue . Especially since the content is so good.
@@ragtop63 ah, i see, my bad. (aside: i have to say "production value" is a very confusing term, i interpreted both components more broadly, should have looked it up first)
The difference between recording in a sound studio and recording out in the real world where there are people and traffic? And in this case, an active kitchen.
Can we please stop teaching that cacao is divided into three categories? I know it is easy but it is just inaccurate. There are at least 10/11 different groups of cacao family and the taste is not only influenced by the genetic but also, if not mostly, by the fermentation process. The quality of the chocolate bar you eat is mainly due to the skill and love of the farmer that grow and ferment the beans and the chocolate maker who roasted, conch and temper the chocolate into a beautiful bar.
We hope you have a chance to visit our friends at El Buen Cacao in Idyllwild, CA!

OMG! theres a sound guy hiding in the back 23:34 eating all the chocolate ;:^o
We tried so hard to stay out of the shots! We were diving behind things. But yes, we ate some freshly made chocolate and it was AMAZING.
Man! Their work is pure gold! Thank you youtube algorithm, for suggesting them.
Mano... A QUALIDADE DESSE CANAL É INCRÍVEL!!
Uma pena que o canal deles em português não atualiza desde o ano passado. Mas a Liliana é incrível e o Socratica mais ainda!
We all love chocolate, and I love you. U helped me with stuying and now I consume all your python vids, you're great!!!
What a fantastic field trip. This is a great video!
Love this video, learned a lot
Me encantó el video. Adelante socrática!
I am taking theobromine supplemen for my acquired brain injury. It's amazing.
This video looks delicious!
Excellent video, I love chocolate and I love socratica. 🥰
Thank you so much! This was by far the most delicious video we have ever made. 💜🦉

Great Informative video, interesting too!
Awesome! I learned a lot! Thanks!
We're so glad you share our appreciation for the beautiful cacao bean! 💜🦉
Great video!
Quite informative
I've also read that cocoa takes a lot of water to produce
This channel looks like it will got lots of subs like 450k or something. Keep it up !
Not a big fan of chocolate, especially dark chocolate. However, the science and process around growing, harvesting and processing chocolate is of great interest to me. Thanks for the marvelous video. Looking forward to the next one.
My, my! I feel like craving for a creamy black choco drink.
Ótimo vídeo!
Thank you 😁
Não nos abandone no canal em português não!
Ou pelo menos colocar legenda pra gente 😂

Vou ter que estudar inglês, o canal está muito top.
It's a cocoa fruit, from a cocoa tree, of the cocoa palm family 🎵🎵🎵
I love chocolate!
great video! can you tag the videos - I was really trying to find the theobromine section and it took me a while!
Great video, im doing an investigation into chocolate and the effects on heart rate during excersise of it. I'd love to quote your work, however I cannot find if you have provided any sources, would you be able to reference me where your infomation is coming from?
I loved this video... now I'm going to buy chocolate, bye!
We just realized we're out of chocolate, too! 💜🦉
In Chocoland there are chocopeople, and they're never late: they're chocolate.
obviously..
food theory should probably into the science of chocolate also lol
I love.chocolate from mexico city.
Vim do socrática br...os coments do br são um saco, apesar do canal ser incrível.
Mas esse é ainda mais😁👍
I Love You Liliana Castro!💖💝💗💕❤
Lança os vídeos daqui no socratica português com legenda seria bem legal não entendo tão bem em inglês
So I have slammed six ounces of raw cacao powder today already and I feel SLAMMIN'! My heart is pounding something fierce like the SUN is in there or something...is this healthy, or should I be on my way to the emergency room right about now or something?(like I keep dancing around like a cartoon character in the kitchen all goofy and stuff...what the heck is going on around here?)
Great video 🍫. Do you like cacao liqueur ?
I'm Italian and I can say W Nutella!
"Eat out every meal!" Now i feel guilty
Can theobromine be dissolved? And safely consumed?
Yeah, but its easier to buy it in powder/capsules. As with anything you can do too much so be aware of that
I liked Liliana She is really awesome.
i love you
How was the aroma when you were in the factory !!
HEAVENLY!!! 💜🦉
The real chocolate is dark chocolate only.
Lily looks smitten.
Should have been sponsored by Hersheys tho
Smart and gorgeous, what do you want more !?
