The Dangers Behind 6 Popular Foods | Risky Business | Insider News

Unfortunately, that's solely because of colonization. They ALWAYS think the locals are beneath them and ALWAYS use them for the labor and profit from them, always refusing to pay any of it back to the people doing the vast majority or all the work. Sometimes, it's literal slave labor. But the people who buy the products lile the cheaper prices so they will refuse to pay more so the locals get more money or they'll refuse to pay the locals for the products they sell directly because it can cost more. Usually, among locals prior to colonization, many of the products, like panela, are simply traded or shared.

That's mainly because without the logistics and processing that happens after them, the product is basically worthless. A product only has value is 1) it is processed into a consumable form, and more importantly 2) it is transported to a location where people actually want to pay higher prices for the product.

What makes you think that they can just „save“? The reason why they are doing this kind of work is because they have no choice. They are in low income countries with little to no laws dictating pay, and this is all they have to support themselves and their families. It’s obvious it’s not laziness when they are doing this kind of back breaking work. And besides, you think they do this willingly? I doubt you will, because you don’t have to. They do.

[@nerd_alert927]

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.

[@rugan0723]

That's the same thing I thought. I sounds just like Jaggery. And it isn't that expensive in the states.

[@Anuitu2u]

Pamela=jaggery, if made from sugarcane. Sometimes, jaggery also made from palm sap, that's the only difference. Hence, the sugarcane type used made the difference in taste. But, every jaggery/panela making always questioned in term of higiene. Especially, I'm sorry, in India, they cool it in pit under sandals level.

@@mrblurblur2003I think you have no knowledge. Jaggery has been used for thousands of years in India and it is the best quality. There are many varieties some of them are soft as butter and melt in the mouth and so rich and deep flavour.

[@Kwijiboi]

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.

[@melissaharris3389]

It think it's just easier to store (and transport) since it's a solid. Honey can also be crystallized or boilded down to a hard solid but it takes more honey; which traditionally would be harder to get as it had to be foraged from wild hives.

[@scottunkefer3753]

Yeah. "Insider News" isn't exactly National Geographic as far as factual information.

You misunderstand, they make two different products from the cane juice -panela and “honey.” “Honey” is simply what they call the molasses-like precursor to panela. It’s not related in any way to honey from bees and doesn’t last very long.

Jaggery in India and Panela in South America: A Comparison Jaggery in India Jaggery, often referred to as "gur" in Hindi, is a traditional unrefined sugar made from cane juice or date palm sap. It's a staple sweetener in many Indian cuisines and is known for its rich, caramel-like flavor and nutritional benefits. How Jaggery is Made: * Extraction: The sap of sugarcane or date palms is extracted. * Boiling: The sap is boiled until it thickens and becomes a dark, viscous liquid. * Setting: The liquid is poured into molds or allowed to cool naturally, where it solidifies into blocks or cakes. Panela in South America Panela is a similar unrefined sugar product commonly found in South America, particularly in countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Ecuador. It's also known as "rapadura" in some regions. How Panela is Made: * Extraction: Sugarcane juice is extracted. * Boiling: The juice is boiled down until it becomes a thick syrup. * Setting: The syrup is poured into molds to solidify. Similarities and Differences Similarities: * Base Ingredient: Both jaggery and panela are made from sugarcane juice. * Unrefined: Neither is processed or refined, retaining more of the natural nutrients and flavor. * Nutritional Value: Both are rich in minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, and contain antioxidants. Differences: * Taste: While both have a caramel-like flavor, jaggery often has a slightly stronger and more complex taste due to the addition of other ingredients during the production process. * Texture: Jaggery can have a more granular texture, while panela is often smoother and softer. * Regional Usage: Jaggery is more commonly used in Indian cuisine, while panela is a staple in many South American dishes. In essence, both jaggery and panela are natural, unrefined sweeteners with similar nutritional profiles and distinct regional flavors. They offer a healthier alternative to refined white sugar and are prized for their unique taste and cultural significance.

In my state in India, traditionally we used to use coconut oil, and we had never heard of heart attacks or strokes at those times. Then doctors and dieticians came up with a new theory of how coconut oil is bad for health and promoted refined oils. Many people believed the doctors and stopped consuming coconut. They all got heart problems and died at an earlier age. Those who traditionally consumed coconut oil had no health issues. Pharma companies spent millions on mass campaigns to criminalise coconut oil, but now people are realizing the real face of these pharma companies and their puppet doctors.

[@janzbedny5241]

[@learningmaster8060]

​@@janzbedny5241 No dear. Most people lived till the 90s and 100s, but after the introduction of refined oil, many died in the 50s and 60s. After the COVID vaccination, heart attacks and strokes in the 20s and 30s have also become very common. In the olden days, in my village, typical deaths used to happen during childbirth, drowning in ponds and rivers, and snakebites. Every family used to have 4 to 12 children, and it was common that 2 or 3 die of snakebites and drowning before reaching 10. Now with most snakes killed, no more swimming in rivers, having only 2 children and so much special care given to them, child death reduced considerably, hence the average life increased to around the 70s. Most deaths happen due to heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. Very few survive after 80s. Almost 50% of the population die by 60s and 70s.
