Milk or dark chocolate?
emmymadeinjapan Dark chocolate with essence of chilli yum yum yum!
Dark!
Milk!!!!!
Dark!

I love her attitude. The way she looks at everything like the 8th world wonder and sees the beauty in every little thing. ❤️
Liliana Benden she should start a painting channel. I would 100% watch it.
Ya simp
She's like a mix of Bill Nye, Jenna Rink and Miss Frizzle.

"Smells a little like Raid - which is oddly disconcerting". 🤣😂🤣
Caffeine and Theobromine are both natural neurotoxins for insects.
Well I mean think about it, what if they sprayed it.
Interesting enough it reminded me of a roach when she first opened it 😂
@@owlwhisker0w031 your the 2nd person to day that... What's raid and whose they
Cedella Watson raid is the bug spray also, I meant the people who grew it.
She's the only person on earth I've ever heard use the word mucilageonous
leo 619 literally right when i read that she said it lmao
I don't even know that word existed
@@plague7106 omg me too XDDD
Asians are very educated
leo 619 cuz she’s mega educated
3:18
Dont you mean to say that it smells a little bit like *RAID SHADOW LEGENDS THE NEW MOBILE GAME WHICH IS TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM*
That game sucks
Opera omnia is way better
im dead bro 😂
BAHAHAHAHAH
lol
You mean we're going to see the entire process of making chocolate on your channel? Cool! This was perfect for Valentine's Day!
Yes! 😅
@@jxxmayne bruh she's married
It looks like corn and garlic had a baby with a gourd as the surrogate!
Hahaha, that's quite the comparison!
@emmymadeinjapan you should use this person's description in your next video...it's perfect!
I thought the same thing
TragedyParody Or an overgrown maggot or grub... 🤭
That is the most descriptive, funny, crazy, and absolutely terrifying true comment I have ever seen. I have never laughed so hard the 3 thing you have accurately described with accurate precision. Oh my gosh. Wow
I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 I have a lot of this fruit in my back yard 🙂
Lol we eat it just like that.
zack munez how does taste the raw white flesh of the pod ?
@@TropicalPianist its sweet sn tasty like white chocolate
Trishawna’s Life it’s been said to have more antioxidants than the fermented version. Do you think there would be a difference in health wether you eat fermented cacao nibs or the fresh ones on the long term ?
Aye same I'm from Mexico tho 😆
Holy hell your vocabulary is mindblowing🤯
What a nice comment!
Ethan Swift lol
Only if you don't read a lot.
This comment is both a nice compliment, and also a symbol of just how much we have decreased in intelligence over the last century.
Hell is not holy.
I just don't get how we got from that great blob of a plant to a bar of Milk chocolate. The same could be said of many foodstuffs we take for granted in todays world. I mean how did we get to making bread & cakes. Who thought to mix those ingredients together, To cook them etc. I mean to make flour in the first place never mind add yeast, milk or eggs. And then for these recipes to go from mouth to mouth and eventualy world wide to where we are today. It just boggles my mind.
I think about this all the time! It's so amazing and wonderful!
I always imagine one weird guy living on the outskirts of a village\cave making weird inventions with cooking. Like deciding to cook meat in water, add veggies and spices and call it a soup. And the whole community avoiding him, thinking he's way too weird 😂 if they'd only know 😅
*Or her 😉
@@PainEpel Some things will have happened by happy accident like alcahol (wine at least) some grapes probably left out festered & some brave soul drank the results & exclaimed "se magnifique" but even still it really is unbelievable.
The thing is, most things we eat today were totally nonexistent only a couple of centuries ago.
The only real reason why food is so "crazy" today is because we're able to apply all the little pieces of wisdom we accumulated from accidents over the centuries and create something solely based on science.
For example, the first chocolate bar was made in 1847. Till then, chocolate has always been a drink.
abingleyboy I know, I think of things like that too. I remember in Catholic school when I was a child the Nun told us how cooking was discovered. That people had pigs in a shelter and it went on fire, after the fire they were picking up the burnt pigs and one guy burned his hand on a burnt pig and put his finger in his mouth and the grease from the pig tasted good, so they began cooking with fire..LOL...sounds pretty nutty to me...It could have been, but I don't think so. II think it was way before people were putting animals in shelters. Maybe it happened with a forest fire or cavemen putting there meat next to a warming fire and some of the meat got cooked by being too close to the fire? I don't know. Who really does?
When the cocoa is a little sour it's best! There is a lot of cocoa that grows in my country and the cocoa fields are just beautiful.
Like in the valley of south texas...driving youll see orchards and all the bright orange citrus fruits.
What a relief, I wasn't sure if the one I got was a good example or not. 😅
@@emmymade Well at least I prefer it being sour, it depends on the person really lol.
@@puffalump76 but your name and pic 🤣
@@puffalump76 omg your pic :'D
They way you talk is just so elegant and soothing. I could listen to you talk forever.
omg when she finally opened it, her reaction was soo adorable😭.
you have a crush on her
And your reaction is your profile

I love that fruity fruits song...
FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY FRUUUUUUITY FRUITY, FRUITY FRUITY FRU~TY
TinyToy Lover sameeeee
I always sing along 😂
Same. I also say the part of her intro with her where she says "where I try fruits that are fruity" 🤔....isn't that why they're fruits?
me too jajajaj
Same! This is now the theme that plays in my head everytime I prepare fruit 😂
I think your voice should be considered ASMR. So soothing!
Her speech is perfect: the breath control, elocution, and pronunciation.
crushin?
Fuckin' creep..
Chocolate is a fruit: Confirmed
Go long!
Every food comes from fruit technically. Any food is originally from a processed fruit. Whether it be as simple as you taking a plant and fermenting it like this cacao bean... or something as complex as eating a turkey that eats bugs that eats fruits. It’s the cycle of my life my friend. And the further down the line something is, the less it is something. Meaning everything along the way takes and burns some of that energy and nutrient. This is why most processed meats are worthless for nutrients but seeds are the richest of all.
Tonyisgaming technically, many foods do not come from fruits. Stop spewing bullshit.
Corey DeBacker
Oof.
Max Bieri lol I admit it was a bit harsh.
Tonyisgaming So you telling me my cow bois come from plants. My mother has been making me eat my veggies yet cows are also veggies or fruit. :( I have been lied to
Ahh I wish you'd broken a bean open pre fermentation, they are an amazing purple inside! Hence why Cadbury's branding is purple 🙂
"Used in a lot of traditional ceremonies."
The oompa loompas!!!
I was surprised nobody made that reference.
“so we have to roast the beans!” *picks up bean* “so yeah”
i thought she was about to literally roast it. i-
"and then we grind!" LOL ME TOO
Figuratively
@@cherishtheday2223 yupp
Raid and flowers? 👌🏽
Pops in mouth
Yes still tastes the raid. “Tangy and intense.” 😮
All that being said, I cannot get enough of this channel! You are so fun to watch
CherieMonique haha exactly
A bit resembling mangoteen fruit seems like, san the Raid and floral smell.
Emmy, I was just looking through your videos list, and I just have to say... you have, by far, one of the most interesting and fun channels on youtube. The variation is ridiculous, all of your content is different, despite it being all food related. You must have so much fun. Glad we get to tag along.
Thank you so much for appreciating the diversity and for enjoying the ride. 🙌
Forrest Winsett and she is so informative! She will try anything. Love that about her. Love this channel!
Yeah, Emmy is really awesome! :D
@@emmymade we love you Emmy so much! A little joy in our lives each day makes a world of difference
Why does the inside of a Cacao pod look like Melted marshmallows?
More like a pupa.
My imagination told me it looked like coffee beans... Don't know why
It looks like a giant white turd to me. This is like an alien scat porn video
NPC #102117 wtf
H I right lol
“Pedir cacao”, it’s an expression we say in Venezuela that means someone comes looking (begging) for forgiveness, mercy or dialogue, usually when it’s too late and you’re done with the bs. Love ya 😘
When we had these in Costa Rica it tasted like a thousand tropical fruits, and one of the best flavors I’ve ever had. Maybe it’s different if it’s super fresh vs shipped? Not sure.
TheAudiotinker yes the fresh one Taste very Fruity .
It really looks like an alien egg! Watch out for any face huggers and chest bursters!
When did you see a alien egg lol
Chest bursters would already have to be implanted for us to see LOL
Emmy is the Steve Erwin of fruit. Sees the beauty and amazement in what she works with and it’s completely wonderful. Love how educational she is! So glad I found this channel!
I just want to say how much I appreciate the way you are able to explain taste and scent. It is a fantastic skill to have and I love being able to "try" the fruits in this way with you as I can't afford them.
If you ate a lot of the fruit (the white flesh) your stomach will hurt. It is delicious but you have to share!!
Alejandro Solano it could give you the shits too lol!
Carla Franco exactly!!! I know people that learned the hard way!!
Chocolate poisoning
Lucy's life in the baby alive world the struggle is real
Hell to the no, I don't eat it so often but when I do is a lot, and it has never made me sick
Did you say chocolate 🍫🍫 sign me up even if it's not processed yet 😅. Happy Valentine's Day Emmy! ❤
It tastes like sh...
ANDROID 25 no it doesn’t 😃
@@sophias4934 Yeah, after I watched the video I noticed I wasn't supposed to chew the bean xd
ANDROID 25 😂😂😂
Bitter,nasty,etc
So if Cocoa is a fruit and chocolates came from cocoa this means chocolate is a fruit
Yep chocolate is healthy ¯\(°_o)/¯
Wrong.
Chocolate in right portions IS healthy
Draconaise Vermilion
Yh, 2-4 pieces of dark chocolate everyday is good for stress and your heart.
@@maxbieri3073 go read a book
cocao is good. the amounts of sugar in chocolate isn’t
I love how calm and family friendly she is💕
Apparently the pulp can be fermented into an alcohol.
Thomas White A thought? More like a practice the ancient North American natives have done for ages. Cacao liqueur is pretty much chocolate was discovered.
@@TonyisToking makes too much sense
Tonyisgaming Get over it, it’s just a proverb.
And it is quite tasty.
The beans** almost look like cloves of garlic
I thought this also
But the taste not bad though
Do you mean the beans? The pod would be the outer husk
I don't know what kind of garlic you use.
@@Elubial the kind that grows in bulbs. What I meant about the appearance was how each bean was surrounded by the membrane, and how close they were together looks like the cloves of garlic, in my opinion. If you don't agree, you don't need to even get involved honestly..
I love that you'll just throw any random thing into your mouth so that we don't have to. And then describe it so well!
"It smells a little bit like Raid"
Me: 😬
This comment smells of Raid: Shadow Legends.
I know, someone could've actually sprayed it or maybe they had to debug it on the tree. I wouldn't have eaten it. Hope she didn't get sick
@@Lady-Carmakazi whats raid
@@DellaWatson-cz3mq Raid bug or insect killer. It's poison, can cause neurological damage or death.
@@Lady-Carmakazi OK, thanks, oooh neurological damage or death... No wonder everyone was so :-/, anyway thanks
Emmy PLEASE try out one of my childhood fruits. It's called a guaba (with a b, not a v). It's a very long woody flat fruit that's filled with something similar to what you saw and tasted in the cacao fruit. I think they might be related. You crack it open by twisting it. The white part is super super smooth and fluffy, until you put it in your mouth and it becomes this sweet, juicy thing that's just delicious. It's much sweeter and smoother than the cacao fruit. The seeds are large and pitch black, and in my childhood in the Caribbean we used to use those to play made up games or asked adults to poke holes in them to make jewelry with string.
Also known as "ice cream bean". The pulp around the seeds is more dry, like cotton candy than it would be compared to the pulp around the cacao seeds. "Inga edulis" is the scientific name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inga_edulis
Is this like tonka bean?
@@melsaunder9251 no, it's not a tonka bean. The one I'm talking about is indeed ice cream bean or Inga edulis - it's a very long fruit, I've seen some that are almost 1 meter (3ft) long. Super soft white pulp and funny black seeds inside.
@@cecilelebleu5984 can you eat the encased black bean like with cacao ? Or is it just the creamy pulp your after?
@@melsaunder9251 only the pulp! It's fuzzy and fluffy and melts in your mouth. The seeds are hard when fresh, you can make a hole with a needle or mark them with your nails, and if left to dry, they becomes much harder. The seeds are very shiny and very black, like a polished black rock.
Oh shoot she just popped it in her mouth without any preparation lmao that caught me so off guard
Jordan Carter that’s how you do it :)
Now I'm curious to hear how you eat your fruit...!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hi emmy! I was born in Ilhéus, which is a city in the northeastern part of Brazil famous for their cacao farms and chocolate production decades ago. In my grandmothers house she had a cacao tree in the backyard (as many people did back in the day at our city) and we used to eat the frui all the time! She even made home made chocolate scratch from it!
If you ever have the chance, try tasting cacao juice! It’s made from that membrane surrounding the bean and it is delicious!
You are so pure. I love the joy you get from this stuff. I could watch your videos all day
Amazing!! They remind me of Oompaloompas!!
Excited to see the next part in making chocolate. I'm craving fruit now
I love how Emmy is always so excited and enthusiastic it makes me feel so engaged even from my couch 😂
I love that! Remind me of my childhood when we have a cacao tree in our backyard and we eat tons of that during its bearing season. Yummy.
I'm really looking forward to the video of the whole process. Making chocolate from scratch has always seemed like a massive production to me so it'll be fascinating to see you do it at home. Go long!
Maybe you should check on it more often. Remember what happened with the noni juice...
What happened?
@@jcuevasqu55 It molded
i love her demeanor and personality- so personal and charismatic. Makes watching her videos worthwhile.
I tasted cocoafruit years ago and LOVED it. I mushed it into a pulp and mixed it with green tea, and the antioxidants were off the charts. It let me function from early morning to early-to-mid afternoon. I agree, it’s kind of flowery, like vanilla. Mildly tart. Extremely refreshing.
According to the bon apetite "its alive" episode where they talk about chocolate the beans should ferment for 3 days to get the correct flavor
Your videos are always so educational. Thank you for putting in so much effort!
I enjoy your enthusiasm, especially with something new... I love it, and that's what keeps me coming back!
i've eaten so many of these growing up. tastes AWESOME!!! sweet and sour at the same time!!! i'm from the Caribbean and we have them on my island. we use it to make cocoa sticks, which we then use to make cocoa tea. we usually dry the beans in the sun for a few days and then roast to remove the skin. after which the beans are grinded down into a powder; (can get messy according to the fat content of the beans). powdered cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaves are added to the cocoa powder and rolled into sticks. the sticks are then air dried and stored in the fridge as heat tends to melt the sticks due to fat content. to make the cocoa tea, just add some water, cinnamon and or bay leaves, nutmeg and a cocoa stick to a pan and bring to boil. leave until the cocoa stick is melted. then add some more water and then milk. sweeten to your taste. for added texture some regular flour is mixed with a little water and added to the cocoa tea. remove from heat when tea starts to thicken. you can add as much flour as you like!! i personally like it on the thick side. hope u get to make this one. i totally love it!!!! as for measurements, i don't have as we never measured anything when making this lol. some like it strong, whereas others don't like it as strong
That is so fascinating! I would really love to try this, but I'm afraid I'd totally screw it up so I would want someone to make it authentically first.
I'm always afraid to try making new recipes on my own (because as I said above, I know I would mess it up big time!) Lol
But thank you for sharing this, Carla!!! I love learning about other cultures and their food!!!
I love how excited you get about new things. Rather than the typical skepticism towards new things often shown.
Matthew Wilson yes! I like how she isn’t repulsed by «unpleasant » smell but rather is excited by its uniqueness.
Slimy...yet...satisfying! Hakuna matata
Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba are shaking
Emmy’s raw excitement in these videos gives me life
Her personality is so endearing! Love her!
Every time I hear “cacao” now I think of the Portlandia sketch where it is used as a safe word...
nina and lance are my favorite characters
“How about cacao? That’s kind of a cool word, cacao”
so i was thinking cacao about my friend sally cacao and she was telling me cacao that her boyfriend cacao uses cacao a safe word cacao 💀
I love watching Emmy’s eyes shuffle as she’s looking for the right words to describe what it tastes like 😂 I’m so excited to see the next video!
You’re so good at describing flavors, and that’s really hard! I love all your Fruity Fruits videos, there are so many fruits I’ve never even seen.
I found the most wholesome channel on UA-cam.
I could also listen to her describe flavors and smells all day
My family has many farms with only coocnut and other trees in it and I plan to plant Cacaos in them and produce chocolate locally.
Can’t wait to see the whole cocoa making process!
Everything that Emmy has made &/or eaten, I've done. I live vicariously through her lol. Thanks for taking me on such amazing adventures with food, Emmy! 💗💗💗
Your excitment is contagious. Thanks for being positively yourself. You are inspiring and appreciated 💛💛💛💛
Yaay new fruity fruits :-) I was depressed today but ur video has cheered me up.
O don't be depressed. ❤❤❤❤❤ I'm glad the video cheered you up.
@@indigenouspotliquor3546 =-D
Sorry to hear that man... Hopefully the rest of your day and weekend will be better (especially since Emmy also uploads on Saturdays). :)
Isn't she the best with that. Has helped me too.
Happy to hear you're feeling better. ✨
"It almost looks like a pinecone or something..." I didn't see "pinecone." I saw baby alien.
I saw a pupa!
I read this exactly when she said it... trippy!
I saw grubs!
Emmy I really enjoy the majority of your videos. You generally lift my spirits, you have such a lovely bubbly personality. Your voice is very easy on my senses. I know that when my senses are in a hypersensitive state from my fibromyalgia. Just listening to one of your informative videos generally let's my hypersensitivity calm down to a large degree.
Thank you and keep it up
I’m super excited for this series.
emmy:"Whaaa- That's wild!" 😂💗
Thank you so much for taking me along on THE most interesting, unknown, weird, tasty, witty, humorous and funny "Fruity Journey" ever! LOL
Much appreciated! :-) You are the best!
I’m so happy I clicked on one of your Videos because I did not know about the subscription box. I love your videos they are so informative and very descriptive when it comes to taste and texture which is lacking in most blogs or food channels. Can’t wait for the next one!!!🤗
OOH! i can't wait for the chocolate video!!! Love you!
Such a cute idea that you did this on valentines❤️
THE ORGANIC FOOTBALL HAS RETURNED
I remember watching this video a few months ago and found a cocao pod for 3 bucks at my local grocery store and looked it up again. I put the beans in a closed jar, cant wait for the result!
These are so freaking good!! I loved them when I travelled to Ecuador! Tastes amazing!
I didn't know chocolate was considered a fruit. Looks like chocolate is healthy after all. Lol XD
the third eye *adds 10000g of sugar*
So healthy 😂😂
@@chrisheffern1782 lol
Emily Heffern not everyone adds sugar to chocolate, have you ever ate Organic Dark chocolate, no sugar added
Kim White I have ! Not a fan.. Extremely bitter to my taste 😂
It is before milk and sugar are added
5:07 😂😂 “boy I’m on yo baked bean looking ass”
Impeccable descriptions!
I like her videos as soon as I start watching them. Emmy doesn’t make bad videos
Emmy: Cocoa Pod
*Banana has left the chat*
I have always thought a cocoa pod would be bitter Im going to try one now Emmy
I thought that too
The roasted beans are bitter, but oh so good.
The raw or roasted beans are bitter! If you roast them to eat you have to be careful... they are insanely delicious but full of caffeine and you can get caffeine poisoning... which is no fun, from experience!
@@patmccrutch3927 been clicking so many comments to see qll your useful information. Thanks for all the info!!
T Neiweem oh wow! You’re welcome! My brain is crowded with useless info I can sometimes apply to stuff lol! Hope you get to try raw cocoa one day... it’s heavenly 🙂
Came across your video by accident and love your excitement n your testing the fruits. I've always wanted to know what some of these fruit tasted like. Thank you very much. Very informative.
FANTASTIC! I watched this with my kids while on quarantine home school!! Super interesting the boys are 11!! And chocolate intrigued them!! On to your next video for this cacao journey!!
I love that fruity song at the start
0:23 my dog started howling after she heard that
Yellow cacao was the best fruit I ever ate! And I lived in the tropics for years, and cacoa was hands down the sweetest and most flavorful thing ever!
She has such a sweet voice and hearing her say "take a mallet and Bash" the pod made me laugh SOO hard. The strong words in that sweet voice... 🤣
Such a raggie looking holder for something that makes delicious chocolate.
Plant poop
The mayans reserved chocolate for royals and warriors.
this girl is just awesome in every possible way
we have a cocoa tree, and this fruit is just delicious, my grandmother used to make chocolate "tableas" out of the cocoa seeds, so much hardwork to put into a chocolate bar. love love love :)
the ''membrane staff' is the flesh of the fruit of cacao and the pods/beans are the seeds'
Emmy: Milk or dark chocolate?
Me: Yes
This video is super satisfying
I used to eat this a lot when I was a kid, I can still remember how it tastes in my mouth. Really delicious fruit!!
Same was just a bout to say who else dances to the fruity song... 🤗🤗👌🏼
next can you show how to make cocaine
? Why don't you make a video on how to not want to make cocaine. Here's to hoping.
@@NatureSouldierSC thanks for your input, ive decided to make cocaine. cheers
I just sent her my meth recipe! Hope she likes it! Heres to hoping!
🤭😋😋
You need the leaves, unfortunately it doesnt appear that she has the leaves :/
Wow, this was soooooooooooo interesting, thank you Emmy !!!!!!!!
Oh the nostalgia ! I used to have cacao in my garden when i was living in Cameroun, after a long afternoon playing the adventurer alone i would ask someone to cut me a pod and eat it right away ! :) It's nice to see you taste it for the first time !^^
