  1. Cacao may have been consumed at feasts by Mississippian people nearly 1,000 years ago

    People in the southeastern United States were consuming cacao about 1,000 years ago, according to new research from the ancient Indigenous city of Etowah. The finding offers the first clear evidence of cacao use within the Mississippian world east of the Mississippi River...

    Cytat za Wikipedią:
    […] For instance, in English, two of the most prominent are undoubtedly #chocolate and #tomato (from Nahuatl tōmatl). Other common words are coyote (from Nahuatl coyōtl), avocado (from Nahuatl āhuacatl) […] #cacao (from Nahuatl cacahuatl 'shell, rind') […]

    An article published in the journal "PLoS ONE" reports the discovery of four previously unknown cacao lineages in Peru. A team of researchers conducted an analysis of 390 cacao trees representing traditional Amazonian varieties, and the results led to the discovery of the previously unknown lineages. This also provides a better understanding of the genetic characteristics of cacao in different regions.

  5. @vosje62 het een (weerbaar maken) hoeft het andere ( het is wél luxe) niet uit te sluiten.

    #cacao heeft altijd mijn bijzondere belangstelling. Mijn (wetenschappelijke) carrière is er op gebouwd (specifiek cacaoboter, chocola, ook een patent daarvan) maar zeker ook het sociaal economische belang in landen rondom de evenaar.

    Tenslotte is mijn broer in Thailand een bescheiden veld cacaoplanten aan het opbouwen.

    Mi konas ĉi tiun unu lokon.

  8. Cacao. We have something like eight trees bearing now - just in their first year; they're still small. But it's already getting to be *quite a lot* of cacao.

  11. 🍫 El extraordinario viaje del chocolate

    400+ granos para medio kilo. Cosecha a mano. Fermentación bajo hojas de plátano. Secado al sol. Tostado. Conchado. Atemperado.

    Dato: los frutos del cacao salen directamente del tronco.

    Dato incómodo: un agricultor en Costa de Marfil gana 78 céntimos/día.

  12. I love coffee but due to digestive issues I've been abstaining for months and given my digestive system some time to reset.

    I've been using my coffee grinder to grind cacao nibs into my aeropress with what I'll generously call "mixed results"

    The good:

    The resulting liquid is brown and creamy.

    The bad:

    The resulting liquid is underextracted even with high dosing and high extraction times of 7+ minutes.

    The product is quite expensive compared to coffee.

    I didn't even try to use the paper filters because I could see what would happen, so I'm using a metal filter. Despite that, at some point during the extraction, my aeropress's metal filter clogs and I have to apply force and time to complete the brew.

    It makes a total mess of my manual grinder. One day I'm going to have to clean this thing and it will be full of cocoa fat.

    I'll likely try to find pre-ground cocao again but maybe someone in the coffee world has done more experiments than me?
