We make hard candies using equipment from the Victorian period. Much of our equipment was made between the 1850's and about 1910. Our candies taste amazing, and are made by hand, either with this old equipment or by folding the sugar into images. You can see us in person in Tallahassee, Florida at our store Lofty Pursuits. You can also get our ...

cool, I remember this guy but also - unfortunately - that heating costs did render lots of small bakeries out of business over the last decade ... even small ovens as seen in petrol stations (bait?) here come with high fees
they made their own "panning" machine, and this series has been interesting in that they are doing all sorts of post-processing, not just melt+press+cut. Also almost collaborative design

If they had some sort of Open Source CNC Mill (IndyMill maybe) they could make custom aluminium press molds!
Maybe sunflower oil? I recently read Regenerative Agriculture by Mark Shepard. He makes the case for growing perennial food forests with potential staple crops being chestnut and hazelnut. Chestnuts are very starchy (think tree corn), and hazelnuts are high in protein and oil (think tree soybeans). I know Marcin tried growing hazelnuts on the Factor E Farm, but I think the young plants were eaten by pests. Any maybe hazelnut oil could be grown very sustainably at least in temperate climates.

The Ashworth Oak yields acorns that are very low in tannins and need minimal leaching to make them edible. A quick search suggest that acorns are around 23% fat vs. about 60% for hazelnuts. Walnuts and pecans could also be an option. Not that you couldn't press acorns for oil. Acorn oil does exist as a product. For annual crops, there's canola/rapeseed (~50%), soybeans (20%), sunflower seeds (50% fat), peanuts (48%). The list goes on.
Here's a little information I found related to density:
"peanuts could potentially produce 120 to 150 gallons of biodiesel per acre. The yield of oil from peanuts is much higher than that of soybeans at 48 gallons per acre but lower than that of rapeseed, which yields between 127-160 gallons per acre." (https://www.agmrc.org/commodities-products/nuts/peanut-profile)
"Although hazelnuts have not yet been grown commercially as a biofuel crop, possible oil yields based on the food crops produced in Oregon can be estimated at 90 gal./acre with a potential of up to 125 gal./acre." (https://farm-energy.extension.org/growing-hazelnuts-for-biofuel-production/#Potential_Yield)

I did the calculations for Sunflower Plants -> "Sun Butter" (basically Peanut Butter Texture/Use Case but for Sunflower Seeds, a bunchy of "Peanut Free" places like hospitals etc have it and it's wonderful) a while back, so i may have that data somewhere!

I forgot if i made a wiki page on them yet or not

Granted i always feel awkward with people putting in like "Oh yes i made a house" or "here is cad for this important project* and i'm like OPEN SOURCE CHOCOLATE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The chocolate of the future could come from the bio-reactor, if the work of a Swiss team is anything to go by.

Granted some of those things, akin to dairy may just use the cells for only certain components (the Casein (which can also be made into glue/plastic which is neat), Heme for those Meat Alternatives, etc)

I just want kind of âCocoa Bean but Chucked in a Blender yet itâs still aliveâ
11:50 PM
and they mention the rewilding benefits
11:52 PM
How so? In like the âjust transitionâ for the workers aspect, or like âcane toads part 2â kinda way
11:54 PM
At least from what Iâve seen we have figured out how to do it (re Yellowstone Wolves, Lynxes/Beavers in UK/EU (if they get those going, I donât remember the progress)
11:54 PM
My main concern is what happens to the farmers
11:55 PM
We are getting scarily closer and closer to a âHumans need not applyâ world, and it isnât looking like the good ending oof.
11:56 PM
It is neat they mentioned Open Sourcing the stuff, granted *the companies they mentioned have it all locked down i think* (need to check the specifics)
