Debunking: Fruit Smoothies, Angel Hair Candy, Diastatic Malt & more | debunking by Ann Reardon

You asked for more debunking so let's dive right in with this one that was sent in asking is this

hair that they've added to the chocolate? You can see them heating sugar and water then stretching

it in corn flour to make dragon's beard candy and then wait that was a definite cut and swap

let's pause and go back here ... that's what she had and then it switches to this a completely

different texture. It looks like she's trying to make the very popular angel hair chocolate which

yes it does look like hair but it's not hair it is edible candy but unlike what that video said

and lots of other videos online have said it is not filled with dragon's beard candy. Dragon's

beard is made by making some sugar and then stretching it in the corn flour like we saw and

if you do it really well you end up with really fine strands but it's not the same as what's in

the angel hair chocolate that's got pashmak in it. Pashmak is made in a similar way but

instead of using the flour that's dry you make a paste using sesame oil and flour and cook that or

you can use different nuts and different things to give it different flavoring and then that is

what's used when it's being stretched and it gets stretched really slowly, i've sped this up so that

you can see the whole process but it's stretched very evenly and very slowly until it's really,

really fine. Store bought pashmak looks like this it's really beautiful and look how fine that is

it does just look like hair and it's not sticky at all it feels kind of soft and you can get this

in all different flavors this one is pistachio. It's not cheap but there is a lot in the packet

plenty enough to put in multiple chocolate bars now you can try and make pashmak at home but it

is quite tricky. If you heat the sugar slightly too hot then when you're pulling it it is going

to set before you're ready and then you're not going to be able to pull it fine enough and it's

just going to be too crispy and crunchy but if you take it off slightly too early when your

sugar's not quite hot enough it's going to be really easy to stretch and it's going to look

great on camera but it's going to have the wrong texture it's going to be uh sort of like wet hair

rather than dry and fluffy and that's not what we're after either. So I'd suggest just buy some

pashmak for this because the texture is what makes it special. Then you're also going to need quite

a deep chocolate mold because pashmak doesn't really squash down. This second one is just a

plastic tray that I've got and I'm using that so I can fit more pashmak in there. The pashmak will

absorb moisture from the air so to keep it dry you have to completely enclose it in the chocolate and

make sure nothing is sticking out and then once that's set you have angel hair chocolate. Alright.

Oh that is very cool!

How good's debunking!

It is hard to eat because the chocolate doesn't stick to the pashmak at all.

Oops. I like it it's great, very cool, well done whoever come up with that. Hmm microfibres.

Next Adam wants to know if this is true? Eating a banana and putting a banana in a blender is two

different things I did not know that one day I was making one of those paleo type protein

it's coconut milk i said "Let me put a banana in this man." I'm like "Damn this is delicious

i'm on to something." I gained weight that week i didn't know what it was. From the banana? When

you blend a banana it's eight points when you eat a banana it's got zero. Because when you eat fruit

the saliva in your mouth breaks the fruit down and the digestion the sugar a different way when
