COCOA POD -- How to Open & Eat a Cacao Pod -- Fruity Fruits 

Milk or dark chocolate?

I love her attitude. The way she looks at everything like the 8th world wonder and sees the beauty in every little thing. ❤️

You mean we're going to see the entire process of making chocolate on your channel? Cool! This was perfect for Valentine's Day!

3:18 Dont you mean to say that it smells a little bit like *RAID SHADOW LEGENDS THE NEW MOBILE GAME WHICH IS TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM*

She's the only person on earth I've ever heard use the word mucilageonous

"Smells a little like Raid - which is oddly disconcerting". 🤣😂🤣

I just don't get how we got from that great blob of a plant to a bar of Milk chocolate. The same could be said of many foodstuffs we take for granted in todays world. I mean how did we get to making bread & cakes. Who thought to mix those ingredients together, To cook them etc. I mean to make flour in the first place never mind add yeast, milk or eggs. And then for these recipes to go from mouth to mouth and eventualy world wide to where we are today. It just boggles my mind.

I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 I have a lot of this fruit in my back yard 🙂

omg when she finally opened it, her reaction was soo adorable😭.

It looks like corn and garlic had a baby with a gourd as the surrogate!

When the cocoa is a little sour it's best! There is a lot of cocoa that grows in my country and the cocoa fields are just beautiful.

They way you talk is just so elegant and soothing. I could listen to you talk forever.

Holy hell your vocabulary is mindblowing🤯

I love that fruity fruits song... FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY FRUUUUUUITY FRUITY, FRUITY FRUITY FRU~TY

I think your voice should be considered ASMR. So soothing!

Her speech is perfect: the breath control, elocution, and pronunciation.

Ahh I wish you'd broken a bean open pre fermentation, they are an amazing purple inside! Hence why Cadbury's branding is purple 🙂

Emmy, I was just looking through your videos list, and I just have to say... you have, by far, one of the most interesting and fun channels on youtube. The variation is ridiculous, all of your content is different, despite it being all food related. You must have so much fun. Glad we get to tag along.

Why does the inside of a Cacao pod look like Melted marshmallows?

“Pedir cacao”, it’s an expression we say in Venezuela that means someone comes looking (begging) for forgiveness, mercy or dialogue, usually when it’s too late and you’re done with the bs. Love ya 😘

Raid and flowers? 👌🏽 Pops in mouth Yes still tastes the raid. “Tangy and intense.” 😮 All that being said, I cannot get enough of this channel! You are so fun to watch

Chocolate is a fruit: Confirmed Go long!

"Used in a lot of traditional ceremonies." The oompa loompas!!!

“so we have to roast the beans!” *picks up bean* “so yeah” i thought she was about to literally roast it. i-

When we had these in Costa Rica it tasted like a thousand tropical fruits, and one of the best flavors I’ve ever had. Maybe it’s different if it’s super fresh vs shipped? Not sure.

It really looks like an alien egg! Watch out for any face huggers and chest bursters!

Emmy is the Steve Erwin of fruit. Sees the beauty and amazement in what she works with and it’s completely wonderful. Love how educational she is! So glad I found this channel!

I love how calm and family friendly she is💕

Did you say chocolate 🍫🍫 sign me up even if it's not processed yet 😅. Happy Valentine's Day Emmy! ❤

If you ate a lot of the fruit (the white flesh) your stomach will hurt. It is delicious but you have to share!!

I love that you'll just throw any random thing into your mouth so that we don't have to. And then describe it so well!

I just want to say how much I appreciate the way you are able to explain taste and scent. It is a fantastic skill to have and I love being able to "try" the fruits in this way with you as I can't afford them.

Apparently the pulp can be fermented into an alcohol.

The beans** almost look like cloves of garlic

Hi emmy! I was born in Ilhéus, which is a city in the northeastern part of Brazil famous for their cacao farms and chocolate production decades ago. In my grandmothers house she had a cacao tree in the backyard (as many people did back in the day at our city) and we used to eat the frui all the time! She even made home made chocolate scratch from it! If you ever have the chance, try tasting cacao juice! It’s made from that membrane surrounding the bean and it is delicious!

So if Cocoa is a fruit and chocolates came from cocoa this means chocolate is a fruit Yep chocolate is healthy ¯\(°_o)/¯

Emmy PLEASE try out one of my childhood fruits. It's called a guaba (with a b, not a v). It's a very long woody flat fruit that's filled with something similar to what you saw and tasted in the cacao fruit. I think they might be related. You crack it open by twisting it. The white part is super super smooth and fluffy, until you put it in your mouth and it becomes this sweet, juicy thing that's just delicious. It's much sweeter and smoother than the cacao fruit. The seeds are large and pitch black, and in my childhood in the Caribbean we used to use those to play made up games or asked adults to poke holes in them to make jewelry with string.

Excited to see the next part in making chocolate. I'm craving fruit now

I love how Emmy is always so excited and enthusiastic it makes me feel so engaged even from my couch 😂

"It smells a little bit like Raid" Me: 😬

Amazing!! They remind me of Oompaloompas!!

According to the bon apetite "its alive" episode where they talk about chocolate the beans should ferment for 3 days to get the correct flavor

Emmy’s raw excitement in these videos gives me life

I love that! Remind me of my childhood when we have a cacao tree in our backyard and we eat tons of that during its bearing season. Yummy.

Oh shoot she just popped it in her mouth without any preparation lmao that caught me so off guard

Every time I hear “cacao” now I think of the Portlandia sketch where it is used as a safe word...

Her personality is so endearing! Love her!

i love her demeanor and personality- so personal and charismatic. Makes watching her videos worthwhile.

I love how excited you get about new things. Rather than the typical skepticism towards new things often shown.

I'm really looking forward to the video of the whole process. Making chocolate from scratch has always seemed like a massive production to me so it'll be fascinating to see you do it at home. Go long!

i've eaten so many of these growing up. tastes AWESOME!!! sweet and sour at the same time!!! i'm from the Caribbean and we have them on my island. we use it to make cocoa sticks, which we then use to make cocoa tea. we usually dry the beans in the sun for a few days and then roast to remove the skin. after which the beans are grinded down into a powder; (can get messy according to the fat content of the beans). powdered cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaves are added to the cocoa powder and rolled into sticks. the sticks are then air dried and stored in the fridge as heat tends to melt the sticks due to fat content. to make the cocoa tea, just add some water, cinnamon and or bay leaves, nutmeg and a cocoa stick to a pan and bring to boil. leave until the cocoa stick is melted. then add some more water and then milk. sweeten to your taste. for added texture some regular flour is mixed with a little water and added to the cocoa tea. remove from heat when tea starts to thicken. you can add as much flour as you like!! i personally like it on the thick side. hope u get to make this one. i totally love it!!!! as for measurements, i don't have as we never measured anything when making this lol. some like it strong, whereas others don't like it as strong

You are so pure. I love the joy you get from this stuff. I could watch your videos all day

Slimy...yet...satisfying! Hakuna matata

My family has many farms with only coocnut and other trees in it and I plan to plant Cacaos in them and produce chocolate locally.

I tasted cocoafruit years ago and LOVED it. I mushed it into a pulp and mixed it with green tea, and the antioxidants were off the charts. It let me function from early morning to early-to-mid afternoon. I agree, it’s kind of flowery, like vanilla. Mildly tart. Extremely refreshing.

You’re so good at describing flavors, and that’s really hard! I love all your Fruity Fruits videos, there are so many fruits I’ve never even seen.

Maybe you should check on it more often. Remember what happened with the noni juice...

Your videos are always so educational. Thank you for putting in so much effort!

I enjoy your enthusiasm, especially with something new... I love it, and that's what keeps me coming back!

I found the most wholesome channel on RU-vid. I could also listen to her describe flavors and smells all day

I love watching Emmy’s eyes shuffle as she’s looking for the right words to describe what it tastes like 😂 I’m so excited to see the next video!

Can’t wait to see the whole cocoa making process!

She has such a sweet voice and hearing her say "take a mallet and Bash" the pod made me laugh SOO hard. The strong words in that sweet voice... 🤣

Emmy: Cocoa Pod *Banana has left the chat*

Yaay new fruity fruits :-) I was depressed today but ur video has cheered me up.

THE ORGANIC FOOTBALL HAS RETURNED

Emmy I really enjoy the majority of your videos. You generally lift my spirits, you have such a lovely bubbly personality. Your voice is very easy on my senses. I know that when my senses are in a hypersensitive state from my fibromyalgia. Just listening to one of your informative videos generally let's my hypersensitivity calm down to a large degree. Thank you and keep it up

Everything that Emmy has made &/or eaten, I've done. I live vicariously through her lol. Thanks for taking me on such amazing adventures with food, Emmy! 💗💗💗

emmy:"Whaaa- That's wild!" 😂💗

Thank you so much for taking me along on THE most interesting, unknown, weird, tasty, witty, humorous and funny "Fruity Journey" ever! LOL Much appreciated! :-) You are the best!

She’s so wholesome and happy 🥺

5:07 😂😂 “boy I’m on yo baked bean looking ass”

Such a cute idea that you did this on valentines❤️

"It almost looks like a pinecone or something..." I didn't see "pinecone." I saw baby alien.

I’m super excited for this series.

Yellow cacao was the best fruit I ever ate! And I lived in the tropics for years, and cacoa was hands down the sweetest and most flavorful thing ever!

0:23 my dog started howling after she heard that

I love that fruity song at the start

I like her videos as soon as I start watching them. Emmy doesn’t make bad videos

i never seen anyone get more happy and excited about food

I didn't know chocolate was considered a fruit. Looks like chocolate is healthy after all. Lol XD

DID YOU KNOW? CACAO is rich in essential nutrients such as organic enzymes that can decrease heart ailments?

this girl is just awesome in every possible way

Your excitment is contagious. Thanks for being positively yourself. You are inspiring and appreciated 💛💛💛💛

the ''membrane staff' is the flesh of the fruit of cacao and the pods/beans are the seeds'

The mayans reserved chocolate for royals and warriors.

I used to eat this a lot when I was a kid, I can still remember how it tastes in my mouth. Really delicious fruit!!

Perfect for Valentine’s Day!!!!!

Such a raggie looking holder for something that makes delicious chocolate.

I have always thought a cocoa pod would be bitter Im going to try one now Emmy

OOH! i can't wait for the chocolate video!!! Love you!

"Raid and florals"😂🌺 lol..shes so sweet!!!

Emmy: Milk or dark chocolate? Me: Yes

Same was just a bout to say who else dances to the fruity song... 🤗🤗👌🏼

These are so freaking good!! I loved them when I travelled to Ecuador! Tastes amazing!

I think this lady is amazing. So very watchable. Better than any TV show.

I like how she said "lets disect this" XD

Impeccable descriptions!

Why is she so adorable!
