So many recipes that claim to have no sugar in them have sugar in some form. The chocolate "cake" here just straight-up lied about having no sugar since it called for sugar in the recipe, but so many others claim to have no sugar but use honey or maple syrup or corn syrup, etc. All of these are sugar, of course; anything made primarily of one of the sugar molecules - glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, and so on - IS SUGAR. It’s so frustrating to see people trying to pass of these sugar-sweetened recipes as having "no sugar."

@dykam 26 дней назад

Or "no sugar" but meanwhile adding sugar-rich ingredients. No a banana isn't too bad, but even that has 20% carbs or 15% sugar, two bananas add about 30 grams of sugar.

@gray_mara 26 дней назад

Maybe some people can have one kind of sugar but not others. I can have white sugar, but not fructose or lactose as they ferment in the gut. Maybe there are people who are the other way around. Edit: This isn't based on my imagination. This is based on the research into low FODMAP foods at Monash University.

As someone who is severely allergic to one of those enzymes used to make liquid sugars or sugar syrups, I hate that enzymes don't have to be declared on the ingredients list. If you eat anything with golden syrup, invert sugar, or any candy with a soft or caramel center, you've eaten one of these enzymes. Also, the "caramel dip" sold at US grocery stores is pure invert sugar.

My cousin is allergic to corn (maize), which is what a lot of the base starch is, but worse, it can also fall under "natural flavor" "anti caking" OR nothing at all when it's used to lubricate the machines or as a temporary mold/stamped press for things like candies. At this stage in life she makes all her own food because it's the only way to stay safe. I hate that they can get away without listing so many things on the labels!

@christinebenson518 24 дня назад

@mwater_moon2865 Corn, wheat, and soy are in so many foods. I was far too old when I learned Rice Krispies aren't gluten-free. The coating to help them brown is wheat based. Also, unless someone has an allergy most people don't read labels. I don't eat soy unless it's an additive because breast cancer runs in my family and I don't want to chance it.

My mom keeps bees and when you had the guys taste all the other not honeys it reminded me of one year's harvest of honey.

We have an agreement with a community garden; we leave a few hives there and they let us pick rhubarb and other produce from the garden.

There is such a thing as dandelion honey that we make in Slavic countries. Of course it isn't and doesn't fully taste like "real honey" since it's not from bees, but it is tasting close enough, and can be used as vegan substitute, and it is made of boiling dandelion blossoms with sugar. For 2kgs of sugar you need 2l of water, half a kilo of dandelion flowers, and some lemon. Full recipe: Clean the dandelion blossoms, remove any green leaves, rinse with cold water. Place in a large pot with sliced lemon(I use one large) with water and boil for good 15-30 minutes. Let it sit for 24 hours so it can steep and the flowers infuse.. Drain the syrup to remove any blossoms, add sugar, and boil at least hour, or until the honey gets dark and goopy. Enjoy. Edit: FOR ALL YA'LL NEGATIVE NANCIES, IT DOES NOT TASTE EXACTLY LIKE BEE HONEY. But it is close enough for vegans or for those who cannot eat regular bee honey. It's still a VERY tasty treat. Also, we call it dandelion honey.

Re: the wheat syrup; when made properly, which is to say just let the wheat kernels sprout but don't wait til it grows a whole GRASS on top of it, wheat/rice syrup tastes AWESOME. It just doesn't taste anything like honey. When properly made, rice syrup is sweet and thick with a slightly nutty, umami flavor. It has that distinctive "ricey" sweetness to it, like in rice cakes or mochis. So judging by 11:54, I'd say you did a pretty bang-on job recreating it with enzymes, Anne! Source: I'm Korean, and I grew up eating treats made with rice syrup my whole life. We also eat honey. One is not the substitute for the other, they're each their own (very tasty) thing. I get that a lot of comments here are trying to dunk on vegan cooking, but I feel like in trying to do so they instead end up hating on a well-loved food item from a foreign culture that they haven't even tried yet, and that makes me a little sad 😅

@nancyneyedly4587 19 дней назад

Agreed, I see people saying that tofu or soy milk isn't a food, disregarding people who have been enjoying it for centuries.

@sophiejones3554 17 дней назад

@@nancyneyedly4587I mean, if they are saying that then the disrespect is almost certainly intentional. Everyone knows tofu and other forms of soy are common in Asian cuisines. If someone is like "that's not real food" it's because they're *trying* to be mean to Asians. These kinds of people also probably think that Asian men are less manly because they tend to have less body hair and get it at an older age, among other stupid racist opinions. There's not much you can say to people like that, because they prefer their daydreams to reality anyway. I would say there is also another reason not to call rice syrup or malted rice syrup "vegan honey" which is that regular honey has medicinal properties which these products do not replicate. Honey is an anti-inflammatory, so it is commonly used as a sore throat treatment. Rice syrup is not going to do anything for your sore throat. I would worry about people getting the idea that these products have medicinal properties when they don't. Just call it rice syrup. On a completely separate note I'd love to see what that wheat malt/rice syrup produces if it is fermented. It looks like it would make a hella tasty beer.

@ClanImprobable 17 дней назад

Such a good, good point about being kind. Just because we are not familiar, there's no reason to blanket "UGH" a food! And as with so much vegan and vegetarian foods, I wish we'd stop trying to say they are the same as meat-centric foods. They're "each their own (very tasty) thing" as you say!

Yeah, my issue has always been people saying that a given ingredient or food is a one to one replacement.

My beautiful old-timey "crawler" roses (supposedly the variety was first bred in the 13th or 14th Century) have an exquisite aroma. Better than any hybrid ("floribunda," etc.) But they would never work as cut flowers, due to the stems being wiggly and full of very small thorns (hence "crawler"). Also, the petals will start to fall off if the bloom is jostled. But they're right by the front door, so I can get the most out of them in early Summer. Life is all about compromises. :D

I feel like you’ve taught me a great lesson in how to teach this topic. Thanks Ann ❤

@kingsley42 23 дня назад

The "vegan honey" is just a different way of presenting traditional Asian maltose syrup. I've seen Chinese cooking videos where they make maltose candy - usually eaten by scooping up the thick syrup between two chop sticks and twirling it, or by kneading it on a hook (like you do to beat air into western sweets) until it resembles taffy - and it's made exactly the same way, with germinated wheat grass. You can also make a kind of sweet tea to enjoy part-way through the process.

@itayshlamkovich465 26 дней назад

The main thing missing on the vegan honey is fructose. Honey is not just glucose syrup, it is inverted sugar syrup - sugar from the flower nectar is broken to glucose and fructose. That's the fructose taste missing from the rice syrup, which - based on its starch origin - has only glucose. Also, honey has flavour based on the original nectar, but looking on the faces, also does cat grass syrup...

@michasokoowski6651 25 дней назад

Glucose and fructose are the main ingridients of honey, but it also contains acids, which make it acidic and volatile organic compounds, which determine its flavour and they are from the nectar.

@spic9h592 25 дней назад

This is really different from the Vegan honey terecipe I know that involves harvesting and washing flowers (mostly dandelions) and using to flavor what is essentially a symple syrup with sonething ( the recipe i saw used alum)to g8ve it a bit of a bite. Not as complex as honey but it'll do.

@rdizzy1 25 дней назад

In terms of sugar percentages, honey is very similar to high fructose corn syrup (HFCS 42, which is the most common one used, and is 42% fructose). Take HFCS 42, add some ingredients like pollen and flavorings, and you have something very similar, chemically, to honey. I know someone who was addicted to honey, ended up getting diabetes primarily from fruit and honey addiction, would eat jars of it a day.

@wobblysauce 25 дней назад

Not just the nector, but the variety of different flowers and other pollens make a range of different flavour profiles.

@markiangooley 25 дней назад

Agave nectar is made from agave plants that are about to bloom. The storage polymer in them isn’t a regular starch that’s a string of glucose molecules, but a special one that’s a string of fructose molecules instead. So agave nectar is a syrup that’s 56% to sometimes like 80% fructose, with some fragments made of short strings of fructose. I suppose that “vegan honey” of a sort could be made from a mix of agave nectar and a wheat or rice syrup…

The only species of immortal roses are the plastic ones. XD Also, in chinese culture, the vegan honey is more commonly known as maltose candy (Mai Ya Tang, translated to wheat sprout candy). If you cook it for a little longer till it's a bit thicker, it can be pulled and stretched just like how hard sugar candy can be pulled, and it gets whiter and more solid. I personally love the crispy ones coated in sesame seeds. Sometimes people won't stretch it, instead they'll mold it into shapes to make edible sugar sculptures.

@brokentwilight3136 26 дней назад

You actually do not have to cut the roses at an angle, one of my professors in plantphysiology explained that cutting at an angle does not increase wateruptake, instead you just create more surface for blockages which will shorten the flowers lifespan. Instead he recommended changing the water every few days and reclipping/cutting an piece of the stem so you remove any potentially blocked passages. This should increase the water uptake of the flowers, making them less likely to wilt and stay fresh for longer.

@blueprairiedog 25 дней назад

But if you're increasing surface area, you would also increase water uptake. It's the exposed surface that takes up water.

@brokentwilight3136 25 дней назад

I forgot to point out that the water intake of the flower is through the xylem vessels, and not the entirety of the exposed cut, as I mentioned above this number is fixed and does increase when cutting at an angle. You can imagine a bundle of straws through which you suck up a liquid, cutting the straws at an angle would not make it easier to suck up more liquid as the total amount of staws and the width of the straws does not increase.

@@NocturnalTyphlosion the ways that bees treat honey is fascinating. In my opinion, honey is by default vegan. Beekeepers have a fascinating relationship with bees, similar to a mercenary contract. The keeper stops predators and parasites, keeps the hive healthy and safe, and makes certain they have a good supply of food. In return, the bees (who are free to leave at any point) store their excess honey in a separate frame, which is harvested and replaced about every 2 months. The bees can even recognize their keepers and don't sting them!

@Musicture 23 дня назад

for the catgrass honey, i wonder if she washed her rice first before cooking it? just cus hers looks a lot more like honey than the reproduction does, and if hers was washed but yours wasnt, that would explain the difference in starchiness (i have some asian coworkers who yelled at me when they found out i dont wash my rice lol)

That vegan honey one - my Gran used to make that thing, dandelion honey, made from dandelion blossoms. I'd figure it's not a real honey, either (though maybe more so since it actually features those things bees get nectar from to make honey ...) but it's good.

In Iran, we have a tradition during our New Year, Nowruz, where we make a sweet paste from germinated wheat called Samanu. It has a texture and richness that reminds me a lot of the vegan honey in this video. It's interesting to see how different cultures create similar flavors using plant-based ingredients.

7:13 in Chinese we call this 麦芽糖, it's kinda like a taffy. It was sold by grandpa or granny outside elementary schools. You scoop it with two coffee sticks and you can twist it and pull it like taffy and it would change from golden syrup color to white color just like taffy. It's both a toy and a snack.

Maybe it looked different in real life, but from the footage at 10:55 that looks pretty much the way halfway crystalized honey looks like. Honestly, I've seen honey that's similar in appearance and consistency to all the syrups that were in that test. For example, rapeseed honey can look very similar to the enzyme rice syrup.

@saxumbonum 23 дня назад

For the rice syrup recipe, did you read the full recipe or just watch the short? The full recipe goes into a high level of detail on the process, including explanations that amylase is converting the starch in the rice to maltose (which IS mentioned in the short, not sure why you cut that part out?), and the ideal temperatures. They also recommend not letting the cat grass develop too much clorophyll to prevent an overly earthy taste. I'm thinking this one does work, and that the recipe wasn't tested exactly as written, or the glutinous rice you used wasnt a particularly sweet one to begin with, as there are many different kinds of glutinous rice, and youd want to use one that is more often used in sticky/sweet rice desserts.

I mean, maybe if the entirety of the experiment was on Patreon or if the second part of the video was on Patreon BUT watchable by everybody (IIRC, it is possible to set the visibility of content on Patreon like this, or at least it used to be possible)... Well, it's not like your or my comment will be acknowledged, so just putting my 2 cents, I guess...

One of my great aunts back in Russia used to make her own vegan honey by collecting dandelion flowers while theyre still yellow blooms, then boiling them and straining them. I dont know the full process as I didnt get a chance to ever see her make it but I tasted the result. It was like a very smooth more liquid honey, more yellow than orange in color, and had a sweetness that was somehow sweeter and more intense than honey so you needed way less of it to sweeten your tea for instance. I wish I could replicate it but without knowing her process I wouldnt feel secure just experimenting with wild plants xD.
