Описание к видео Tastes like dark chocolate meets spicy coffee or How to Eat Bay Nuts (Umbellularia californica).mov

In this video, FeralKevin shows you how to make bay nuts edible. The California Bay Laurel is one of the most common trees in California. It's evergreen, and its leaves can be used like the European Bay (Laurus nobilis), -- the Bay Leaves you buy in a jar at the store. But little do people know, the nuts (seeds) can be eaten, too, if they are properly prepared. They have properties of both coffee and chocolate, and possess a caffeine like alkaloid that is similarly stimulating. The California Bay is a canopy tree in many areas, especially where its not foggy enough for redwoods. Many Native peoples in the area used to burn and use other methods to keep the oak forests (preferred for acorns) from developing into Bay forests.
