The Dangerous Story Behind Some Of America's Most Popular Foods | Risky Business | Insider News

So many of these foods deserve to be in the "so expensive" series over the "risky business" series. I hope their work gets good compensation and recognition they deserve.

[LaineyBug]

It still floors me that the people doing the dangerous work aren't the people making the most money.

[heinzyketchupy]

The fact that they get paid for the season $600 and stores sell a soup for $100 is criminal

[Takusman]

to the unknown viewer, what the indigenous people in Colombia have in their hands is a container for the coca leaves, they chew the leaf for energy and tradition

[Voodoorai]

I imagine the birds coming back and it's just like me in a store parking lot looking for my car. "I could have sworn I left my NEST right here. Where is it? Did someone steal it?"🤔🐦

Here in the Philippines, similar process of extracting sugar from sugar cane as the panela but instead of using horse to turn the mill we use carabao or water bofalloo are called differently depending on the region like tagapulot, panucha, moskovado and etc.

Panela reminds me of Gurr, in Punjab, India (known as jaggery in other parts of india). It's made the same way. Gurr is the only sugar we use at home. It's made in literally every village there. I've watched the process the last time I visited India. If you're American or Canadian, or anywhere there is an Indian store you can buy it for a pretty good price.

The Panela sugar is called jaggery and you can buy it for $4/lb in any store that sells Indian grocery in the US.

They say that it can be stored longer than honey, but honey can be stored for thousands of years and stay edible. I imagine jaggery could be stored longer due to lower moisture content, but proper honey storage should outlast many generations.

High humidity would hurt jaggery as it could honey, as they are both hygroscopic.

They probably don’t have diabetes where in North America it is rampant because we are consuming so much corn syrup which is in everything we eat.

[PotooBurd]

This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌

[lornapecaoco]

We have Sugar cane Plantations in the Philippines in Antique Province ..my Ancestors makes Brown sugar from sugar cane as i Remember 1955 ..

[Drigeolf]

I like how the editor put limes after the coconuts.

[mahavirgadhvi]

The official Minimum Wage in India in 2023 is literally less than $5 and a big majority earns even less than that.

[julitosnijders]

Its been a long time that i did not find such a good video. Thank you. Very interesting.

[saranga.]

That first thing cost only 1 us dollar in my place, we call it guud (jaggery) every morning we eat it with tea .

[animalproductworld]

It's October and it's still hot.

[SizzleStreets]

🍃 The story of wild vanilla sugar and how the indigenous communities in Colombia preserve their traditional techniques is truly inspiring. Respect for their dedication and effort to keep this craft alive! 💪💚

[Ruruschannel]

In the northern part of the Philippines, where Ilocanos like me resides, we call the panela "tagapulot".
