FunTranscript
00:00 You probably have no idea what's really going on behind the scenes of our favorite foods. And believe me, reality could be hard to digest.
00:10 Imagine bee vomit, crab sticks with a touch of insect, and coffee beans having passed through by a strange animal.
00:19 Today, we dive into the strange processes that bring our favorite foods to our tables. Prepare to reconsider your shopping list.
00:30 The next time you taste waffles, remember that the honey you pour on it is a team effort that is both impressive and a little repulsive.
00:40 Sorry to tell you, but honey is essentially bee vomit. Well, in a way.
00:46 You see, it all starts with the nectar that bees collect from flowers.
00:50 They store this sweet substance in their "jabot", also known as "honey stomach", a step before digestion.
00:59 But here's where it gets disgusting. After a hard day's work, the bee goes back to the hive and gurgles the nectar in the mouth of another bee, like in a strange hot potato game.
01:10 The nectar goes from bee to bee, each one adding its own digestive enzymes, "burk".
01:17 Once the nectar is enriched and partially digested, it's time to store it in the alveoli.
01:23 The nectar is still too hot, the bees activate and beat wings like tiny fans to accelerate the evaporation of water.
01:32 When most of it has evaporated, they seal the nectar with a secret substance from their stomach, which hardens into bee wax, thus creating the perfect safe.
01:43 And there you have it, honey. This sweet and delicious golden substance that we all love. Even if you're a little disgusted by it now.
01:52 It's quite funny to see that we can't stand finding hair in our restaurant plate, while we happily chew on a product that can hardly be made without a good dose of hair.
02:04 To get the sweet and soft texture of chewing gum, we use lanolin, a waxy substance produced by the beehive glands.
02:13 This secretion helps them keep their wool and their impermeable skin, just like the human sebum that makes our hair greasy.
02:20 Looking at the list of ingredients on the back of a pack of chewing gums, you probably won't see any mentioned lanolin, but it's very likely to be there.
02:29 Companies are not always keen to reveal all the ingredients, thus allowing lanolin to remain a secret component.
02:36 If you don't like the idea of constantly chewing on sheep fat, opt for vegan chewing gum.
02:43 And by the way, remember to check your skin care products. It turns out that body creams and lotions often also contain lanolin.
02:54 Not really a fan of chewing gum anymore, are you? I understand you, but what about jellied candies?
03:00 Hard to resist these colorful and trembling delights, but these little bears, glasses and other cola bottles, hide a dark secret.
03:08 In fact, eating these sweets is not that different from chewing on chicken wings bones.
03:13 These candies are mainly made with corn syrup, sugar, starch, water and, above all, gelatin.
03:21 But here's the disgusting part. The production of gelatin begins with the cooking of pieces that no one really wants to imagine,
03:28 like skin, tendons, ligaments and, mainly, bones, usually from pork or cow.
03:35 Sometimes, your candy can even include skin and fish scales.
03:39 Disgusting enough, isn't it? The goal is to extract collagen, the most abundant protein in the body.
03:45 Collagen reinforces tissues, which gives candies their soft texture.
03:50 Our long love story with these sweets dates back to the 1860s, so we understand that it is difficult to give up.
03:57 But if the idea of consuming candy made from pieces of animals is overwhelming you, you can always try to make it from agar-agar.
04:04 This substitute of plant-based gelatin is derived from algae.
04:08 But be careful, when thinking about it, you could find it just as disgusting.
04:14 It is time to talk about imitation crab, also known as surimi or "the hot dog of the sea".
04:21 This nickname is quite justified, because it is made from a mixture of fish, starch and flavor.
04:28 Its ingredients are ground, mixed and shaped into these familiar and tasty red sticks.
04:34 If you think this idea came up with industrialization, you are wrong.
04:39 In fact, the origins of surimi date back to antiquity, when fishermen from East Asia used the remains of fish to create this more economical alternative to seafood.
04:49 However, the recipe has become more complex over time.
04:53 To give surimi this fresh and shiny appearance, which seems to clarify "I'm just coming out of the ocean",
04:58 manufacturers often add red dye to the sticks.
05:02 The thing is that some use carmine, a dye obtained from crushed cochlea.
05:08 Yes, you heard right, insects about 5 mm long, native to the American continent, are crushed to produce a bright red dye.
05:17 This practice dates back to the 16th century, when carmine was used to dye fabrics.
05:22 Today, this red dye can be found in a variety of foods and drinks, such as ice cream, strawberry milk, maraschino cherries and surimi.
05:32 So, the next time you taste Japanese cuisine, remember,
05:36 surimi is the imposter of seafood with a touch of insect extract.
05:42 Need a break? What would you say about a cup of coffee?
05:45 Before saying yes, you might want to make sure it's not Kopi Luwak,
05:49 often considered as one of the rarest and most expensive coffees in the world.
05:53 Its story could leave you a little ...
05:56 Well, let's just say it's not your ordinary cup of coffee.
06:00 Kopi Luwak coffee comes from Indonesia, where it is produced in a rather unusual way.
06:05 It all starts with little mammals called "sivettes", more precisely palm seeds.
06:11 These creatures love the fruits of the coffee tree and choose the most ripe and juiciest they can find.
06:18 Now, this is where things get interesting or disgusting, depending on your perspective.
06:24 After consuming the fruits of the coffee tree, the seeds digest them partially,
06:28 and the coffee beans pass through their digestive system.
06:32 These seeds, miraculously intact, are finally expelled into the animal's excrements.
06:38 Yippee, I guess.
06:40 Once recovered, the coffee beans are carefully cleaned, roasted,
06:44 and transformed into what is considered as a refinement in some circles.
06:49 The fermentation process that takes place in the stomach of the "sivette"
06:53 is supposed to give Kopi Luwak a unique flavor, but personally I could do without it.
07:00 Last point on our list, oranges.
07:03 You probably know that they come from these famous oranges that burst in the sun.
07:08 But let's talk about orange juice now, especially the one you buy in bottles at the supermarket.
07:13 Of course, it is a vitamin C concentrate, but its juices can also be excessively sweet.
07:19 A small bottle of orange juice can contain about 8 teaspoons of sugar.
07:24 But this is where it gets even juicier.
07:26 Even the brands that claim to sell us 100% orange juice don't do that.
07:32 Freshly squeezed orange juice has a short shelf life,
07:36 so that manufacturers remove the oxygen from it to make it more durable.
07:40 However, the process makes the natural taste disappear.
07:44 To remedy this, we therefore add packets of artificial aromas derived from orange oil and gasoline.
07:51 Oh, and there is something else to know, pesticides.
07:54 Yes, these unpleasant chemical products sprayed on the skin of oranges to ward off insects.
08:00 When the whole orange, skin included, is in a hurry to extract the juice, these pesticides can also infiltrate.
08:07 Some of these chemicals can disrupt your nervous system, which is far from desirable.
08:12 But don't reject orange juice from your morning routine.
08:16 It's a refreshing and delicious way to start your day, loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are beneficial to you.
08:24 Just leave laziness aside and squeeze your oranges yourself.
08:28 Great!
08:29 Freshly squeezed orange juice, without added sugars or additives.
