I am from Kerala. It's amazing how thousands of years ago the Arabia flourished with help of Kerala and its spices and today Kerala benefits heavily from the job opportunities in those Arabian countries.
@@nothingexists5066 Tamil Pride, Can I ask you a basic question. How long has it been since you washed your face? Just by hygiene standards alone, Kerala is better cultured than Tamils.
A small correction Dutch rule in India came to an end not because of British , it was the the king Marthanda Varma of Kerala ( Travancore kingdom) defeated Dutch rule in the war of Colechal , And it was the only kingdom in whole Asia who defeated the Dutch army.
If there has ever been a perfect RU-vid video, it has to be this one. Everything from the background sound to the narration, from the visuals to the writing is just perfectly on point, man. Hats off for this one. I’m subscribing right now so that when you have a million subs I can comment on your videos “Who’s been subscribed since
Greetings from Colombia! Just discovered this channel and I love it! I'm an English teacher and I'll recommend your channel to my students since your pronunciation is so clear.
I can’t believe you don’t have a huge subscriber count! This video was too cool and the edits were awesome. Informative and entertaining all at once. :)
I really love the way how you presented your content. I hope more people would discover your channel. Amazing job! More content please especially history.
It truly is a wonderful thing to visit any grocery store and have endless affordable spices to choose from. Even dollar stores have a large selection and other stores still have a large selection of dollar spices. And they're good. Maybe not exquisite and fancy but good. And very affordable. What fortunate people we are to have such things so easily available. There really is no reason to ever eat bland food.
Pepper. I'm talking about Europe centuries ago. Before the onset of the winter, which lasted for months, local farmers would slaughter some of their cattle and keep them as meat. Grasses did not sprout in the pastures due to winter snowfall. This led to a shortage of feed. Humans also suffered from food shortages. The solution was to kill the cattle and keep them as meat. Remember the days when there was no electricity or cold war like today. They used me to preserve and taste the meat for a long time. In short, I was an essential element to them. I'm not alone. They also loved our native cardamom, cinnamon sticks and ginger. From time immemorial traders have been wondering what pepper is
Great video! It’s so interesting how something that many people overlook has such a history. I’d love to see you make a video about the origins of potatoes! It wasn’t til last year I learned potatoes are all native to Latin America
How do you have so few subscribers? Jesus man I didn't even realize before I went to subscribe. Wouldn't have ever suspected that based on the quality.
Pepper Was valued In The Roman Empire So Much so that it was known as black gold. Traders Carried Pepper From Ancient India To Rome By Ships , Land. Roman Gold Coins Have Been Found In South India. I STUDY This Stuff in NCERT Class - 6
Almost the entire world gained benifed from the spices and the technology of producing crystal sugar from India. The spices which were once way too costly than diamonds and gold, the spices which was wrathful of buying an entie country, India the country which evolved from one of the greatest civilization(Indus valley civilization) which everyone was amazed of once. And here I'm from Kerala(India) giving multiple attempts for IELTS and trying to move to a country which is not blind in religion, which gives individual freedom, value for life and give better opportunity. Such a long way from there till here.
@@HistoricalEats The chili pepper is really interesting to me. It's so common in Mexican, Indian and Chinese cuisine, as well as in Spain and Portugal. A history of the chili pepper and how it went from Mexico to Europe to Asia would be really cool.
Nowadays the farmers are not getting enough price for the pepper. The labour cost is more than the pepper cost. So most of the farmers are not harvesting properly.
The sequence is historically inaccurate. The Portuguese discovered the route around Africa before Columbus sailed west, and the Dutch did not establish an independent spice industry until they stole navigational secrets from the Portuguese (they were the distribution agents for Portuguese spices to northern Europe).
I like the video and the content but some of the background sounds are a little bit annoying - I had to listen twice in order to understand the medieval recipe because of the ambient sounds and that Asian guy yelling at rice. xD
When ever I watch the history about a pice or food the Europeans always are glorified them self’s and they don’t come close to what the Mexicans produce for the planet the Mexicans are the most advanced at farming they Blowout anybody of the water just with one spice or eatable they created Here is one the tomato. That alone wipes all the competition!! But when ever I see a history about a Mexican spice or eatable they don’t get the credit they deserve the whole thing starts like this m: when the first people arrive in the Americans there was this weird plant that the nomads kind of kicked around and they made it stable. What shame who makes this history videos!!!
@@HistoricalEats crazy that I was commenting “I’m stoned af” on RU-vid, I live a whole new life now. I’ve been saved by grace, what a great gift from God!
This is wrong.. pink Pepper or red Pepper or Rose Pepper is not the same plant as black, White and green Pepper (piper nigrum). Pink Pepper is a dried berry of the shrub Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peruvian peppertree. It has No relations to the piper plant.
