Nixtmalization, Coca, and Cacao, Super Food Creation
No one has been working with making drinkable chocolate from raw cacao, the stuff is potent and filling. Then nothing was thinking, both corn and cacao are traditionally mixed with alkali substances, why not mix them with coca? Besides the benefits of the sweet leafs more exotic alkaloids, the vitamin and mineral content of the mixture would be nearing a full days supply of food.
The next batch of whole cacao beans is being prepared, in the three days they will ferment , the corn will be toasted, and figure out the best way to mix the lime with the foods so no one gets burned, but retain all of the good stuff. How bad would the cocaine fall out of solution if the solution was neutralized? Anyone got any data on peak pH for absorption?
The full report on the chocolate experiments will appear by accident in the Ethnobotanical folder.
