RE: Alchemist in the Chocolate Forest: Fermentation of Cacao Bean

Very nice work! :) Thanks for summing up all your experiences and diving into this topic for and with us. People have to understand how important the microbiota is for all our lives. Not just for some (although very enjoyable) beverages, but in general! Symbiosis with the right organisms is a key element. - Within the next few days I will present some scientific work showing the importance of that kind of stuff. I would appreciate to then hear your thoughts about it. :)

Holding a Kombucha SCOBY (symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria) for the first time shocked this realization into me about the significance of symbiosis. The SCOBY is a living tissue made up of single celled organisms. As I held it the microbiology of my body integrated with the tissue in a way making me part of a tissue. Brewing your own ferments connects you directly with the alimentation you bring yourself. I think I could really write an entire article in where my brain is going now haha. I'm excited to see your article on simbiosis!

Please do an article on this! :)
I will only scratch the surface (and already have) as I find some time for it! :)
