    It still floors me that the people doing the dangerous work aren't the people making the most money.
  • @knpark2025
    So many of these foods deserve to be in the "so expensive" series over the "risky business" series. I hope their work gets good compensation and recognition they deserve.
  • @Ruruschannel
    In the northern part of the Philippines, where Ilocanos like me resides, we call the panela "tagapulot".
  • @PotooBurd
    This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
  • @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.
  • @saranga2.0
    That first thing cost only 1 us dollar in my place, we call it guud (jaggery) every morning we eat it with tea .
  • Here in the Philippines, similar process of extracting sugar from sugar cane as the panela but instead of using horse to turn the mill we use carabao or water bofalloo are called differently depending on the region like tagapulot, panucha, moskovado and etc.
  • @casanova60059
    The Panela sugar is called jaggery and you can buy it for $4/lb in any store that sells Indian grocery in the US.
  • @lsophial
    Great informative videos. Thank you.

    They probably don’t have diabetes where in North America it is rampant because we are consuming so much corn syrup which is in everything we eat.
  • @Takusman
    to the unknown viewer, what the indigenous people in Colombia have in their hands is a container for the coca leaves, they chew the leaf for energy and tradition
  • @Sean85Laney
    Andean Blueberry juice and panela, a must have!
  • @mahavirgadhvi
    The official Minimum Wage in India in 2023 is literally less than $5 and a big majority earns even less than that.
  • @lornapecaoco6468
    We have Sugar cane Plantations in the Philippines in Antique Province ..my Ancestors makes Brown sugar from sugar cane as i Remember 1955 ..
  • @pepposano4200
    I don’t think I will ever buy coconuts… $5 a day is not a livable wage for anyone. Sure, paying for kids education is alright, but not all of them have kids. This doesn’t justify taking advantage of people for $5 or $10 a day… One coconut is already $5. They can definitely afford to pay their employees high wages.
  • COME To Uttar Pradesh in India. During winter harvesting season you will find these Panela (Jaggery making units) every few hundred meters. Since it sound more exotic as a name and beautiful background, the author decided to go to Columbia.
