When I had a TV this was my favorite show as a kid, right up there with Mythbusters

[Filbie]

I’m glad this made it into the lineup! I desperately wanted to go to a cacao farm when I visited Costa Rica but ran out of time to do so. Now at least I can see it virtually! 🥰

[robblack]

I like this part of the show. Yes chocolate bars are made in a factory and that is fascinating in itself however showing the process of how the actual plants grow and how they harvest them is just as enthralling.

:)

[SinCityRaider]

Reminds of Sam Van Aken a professor at Syracuse, Who grafted 40 types of fruit onto one tree Incredible!

The process is quite complicated! And for the end result, it's great

The first time I ate cocoa beans straight from the fruit was 15 years ago. Me and my friends took it from someone's tree lol and I didn't know that the beans were bitter. Good old time.

So this is how my Costco chicken bake is made. That's a BOOM! 💥

With these "older" videos such as this, it would be nice to have the Original Air Date posted in the first 3 seconds of the video.
Strictly as a reference.

[Hailee_smith]

Me and my brother would sit and stick to the tv when this was on is was so fascinating as a kid which I still am but you know

[thestoryblender]

The process is pretty complex! And to the final result, the chocolate itself, there are plenty extra steps!
How come someone discovered it? Mindblowing!

[joermnyc]

At some points he sounded like he was saying “coca” which is another plant based addictive substance!

[sanstime]

That's a lot of beans very cool 🙂👍

[williamjones]

Wow, who ever thought this up was definitely blessed by God.

[bamaguy]

It’s amazing what Mother Earth provides! It’s even more amazing how man can take advantage

[TheTechCguy]

This is your chocolate, folks! Any chocolate comes from this! 😋🍫🍫

[nathanjoerndt]

so there are four varieties of cocoa beans!!! forastero, criollo, trinitaeio, nacional :D

[wangraphaela]

I know little about cocoa beans, but I have decided to plant the tree. Just because I enjoy the pleasure of studying in the cocoa forest and the process of making chocolate myself. I am starting a cocoa plantation ecosystem by hand in Hainan Province, China.Hope you guys could help me on that and welcome if you could join me and devote in healthy ecosystem.🌹

[BoldRealities]

We had cocoa plantation that was acres of land which we used to harvest time to time not until realtor came to destroy everything.

In some places the fermented cocoa fruit liquid is draiined off and used.
