Off The Grid With The Rasta King of Grenada!!

Babwandi. Yeah that's a bush, a wood from the hill top. Does it get you like super high? Well it gets you high because it's a wine. The babwandi in the bush cleanses you. When you drink it by itself it gives you a cleanse. Sometimes you just need to get high. Today I'm very excited I'm here with Ojinga. Ojinga on Instagram. He's a internet sensation. Raj Ojinga. Incredible. I saw some of his content. I couldn't believe what he's doing out here. He has this incredible bush where he has lots of fruits, vegetables. He goes into the jungle. I mean it's amazing. Yeah, I go everywhere in the bush. I choose no way. I go wherever. Any way my mind just leads me. I just go there. I make the track for myself sometimes. And where are we right now? Mamakyan? Over there is Mamakyan. You pass through Mamakyan to come through Mount Castle. A mummy apple. Some call it a different name but it's an apple. It's fruit, you know. It's amazing. Here we have papaya. Papaya, same here. That's a different breed. Smaller one. That's the plantain. That's the coconut you can drink up and get yourself fit. Coconut, the source of life right there. Yeah, and that's the breadfruit. You do many things with it. You cook it like that. You make it in your soup. You roast it. So much thing you can do with it, man. That's a good food. When you cut it and fix it up like a bash, like a plate, you call it a calabash. I see calabash everywhere. The Caribbean, the northern part of South America, obviously Amazon jungle, lots of calabash. See, I cook it now. That's like a pot. Is this a hive here? No, that's something different to use. What, USA? It's dope, though. You got one more? Yeah, I got it. Oh yeah, bud. Love this. Just got to take off some of these seeds. Mmm, nice and sweet. Oh, it's amazing papaya. Oh, it's good. Oh, he's cutting the cane. Look, come, come, come. The mother of canes. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to plant it now, that's the plant right there. When you want to do like a nursery for canes, this is where they will get all the canes from in the early days. Mama Cane. I had sugar cane juice yesterday, and it was the sweetest sugar cane I've ever had in my life. Now you're here in Mama Cane, which is the mother of all canes, where the best quality cane is grown right here in Grenada. And you're about to sample that. And you got this. As you do it, break off chunks, right? Super sweet. It's amazing. And then you put this, you just toss it. Put it out there. It's probably great. It's amazing. This is the best sugar cane I've had in my life. It's so good. I love planting sugar cane a lot because I do many things with it. I make wine with the sugar cane. Where's the wine at? I got some. That's the wine. Yes. I sweeten it with the sugar cane juice. Look at this, guys. Look at this. This is like a handle right here. Beautiful sugar cane juice wine. So what he does is he puts sugar cane juice in here, and then he lets it ferment. Babwandi? Does it get you, like, super high? Sometimes you just need to get high. Everybody does. I love that one. That's a Bob Marley song I love. I love one love, but people don't live in one love like how Bob Marley think people are living in one love. People just sing the song, but they don't know the meaning. Because they don't live up to nothing, you know? So they sing, one love, one love, come get together and feel alright. But they don't mean it. Because if they mean it, they live up to the words. So it's just more saying. In New York or where? Yeah, in New York. And then I was kind of tired with New York, so I take a little. And I go to Washington, D.C. I go Pennsylvania. In Washington, I meet a lot of Ethiopians. The Ethiopians in Washington, when they see me, they love me. I have a coin one of them give me. How long have you been here in this location? Oh, five years. About five years. Yeah, but I was living in this. Because I could live anywhere. And that's your wife? Yeah, that's my wife. Taste the wine. You see how it's forming? You see? Oh, I'm going to take a taste right now. Wow, it's intense. That'll lift you up to the clouds. Yeah, I'll go take a taste together with you. Yeah, yeah, let's do it, let's do it. That's for me. It's like fermented sugarcane. That's what it is. This one is made with mandarin and bourbon and cane juice. So it's a different taste you get in that one. I'm sure there's some special ingredients in there too. I put a little marijuana in it still too, you know, because the strength from the marijuana increases the... Oh, this is way tastier than the other one. It tastes different. That one's like more bitter. This one's just a little sweeter. This one has the marijuana, the cane juice, the bourbon and the mandarin fruit. Mandarin fruit. That's what it is. Right there. Wow. That's what makes it taste so... So this is like the ultimate high. It's basically edible right here. That's it. That's it. Nothing better than that. Hey. Yeah, give thanks. That's good. That's good for you. Give thanks. Awesome. Respect, respect. One Love, for me, legend, that's the best album of all time. Yeah, Bob Marley sings some good songs and that, but what I'm saying about the One Love is that message is spread. Yeah. So the people should listen to that message and keep that message. They just say it like, One Love, they sing it just like a song, but they don't have it deep down in them to live. In One Love. Mami Apple. Ancient people call it Mami Seaport. Mami Seaport, okay. Yeah, that big fruit. But afterwards they come and they start to call it Mami Apple because they say it look like an apple to them, you know. It's like an apple, but also has sort of the way you eat a peach that's almost perfectly ripe. Like a peach. It's not, if the peach is over ripe, it's too falling apart. It's perfect. This guy's the man. Definitely follow him. Giving you some love. Yeah, man, bless. Bless, bless. Thank you for the day. Thank you for, you know, allowing us to visit. You see, happiness is something I try to live with every day. Make my life happy. I don't have to do nothing too much. Nothing too much. TikTok, YouTube, and obviously Instagram. Follow him. We'll see you. We made it, we made it. Finally, finally, finally. Sorry, that was pretty crazy. How you doing, man? How's everything? Good. Good? I love, I love this. So what are we doing today? Well, you come around, see what you want to see, and you go work out. Because you see, the whole world is here. So we're doing some chocolate, some honey? Yeah, well, this year. Let's go in here. Oh, right there. Let's go in here. Let me have a little bite. It's the best. Nice. Mm-hmm. It's so good. Sorry, the sun. Too much sun. I'll eat the whole thing. We've seen this, all places we've been recently. So I went to Dominica. I went to Belize. From here, we patch it now. Fire on top, fire below. Coconut bake. That aroma, it's like chocolate heaven right there. I wish there was a perfume like that, right? Just chocolate. So what we got here? Spearmint. Spearmint? Yeah. Mm. The majority of youth in this village here drink this thing. Maybe if you're born, I think, young, it's the first hug. When I chew that, it's like I'm remembering Mojito, Miami. Mm. Nice man. Oh, you guys harvest cinnamon here as well? Okay, fantastic. Snake plant. Why do you call it a snake plant? Because it bites? It bites? What is it? What's this one called? Oh, it's okra. It's okra. We have some green bananas. So this is what we just had right there at the waterfall. Green bananas in the corn soup. Oh, the more. Cocoa. I love cocoa. The best thing on earth. You know, when I'm fasting, if I have no food, I'll just eat chocolate. 90%. Cocoa. Okay. Let's get one of those. Oh man, you crack it? Very, very. It's like flowers and lime. It's like a mix. Wow. He has a massive rod. We're going to go right now and pop some coconuts off the tree. And he's going to slice them up one chop style. Right here in Grenada. Look at this rod. Massive. It's like 30 feet. Here we go, here we go. I'm about to weigh. I don't want coconut to fall on my head. Oh my gosh, we lost it. We lost it, Nate. What happened there? I don't know. At least we got one. We got two, right? One popped as well. I'm drinking. Ready for this? Wow, incredible. And as we see a little bit of the flesh inside. Whoa, it's overflowing. This is a big one. I got jelly. Amazing. It came right through. Yeah, got milk. In Miami, I have one or two. Now he's going to cut it. Man, thank you so much. So you gave me the spoon. Natural spoon. Yeah. So this one isn't too thick. It's a nice layer. Nice thin layer. Look, beautiful. I enjoy having this everywhere I go in the world. You know, I've been basically traveling the whole Caribbean the past year. Trinidad, Barbados, Dominica. Now we're here. Next we got St. Kitts, St. Vincent, Antigua and Barbuda. And then I'm going to Haiti. Every morning you drink one of those. You put water in the tank. And every morning you put water in the tank. It's good. I mean, for me, this is the ultimate morning. Yeah, you drink that every morning, man. It's good. And what about it? The life here is free. Because all over the country. Yeah, you just live off the land. Yeah. That's why I love it down here. You know, just pure nature. You wake up every single morning. You just hear the birds. You hear the ocean. Nice winds. Peace. My man, you want one? What's this one? Nutmeg. This is the number one spice exported out of here. I think to the point that it was number two in the world. Right now, I think it's number eight because of the hurricane 2004. You know, after that, it's taken a long time for them to get back to a point where they have a lot of nutmeg. How long did it take for the nutmeg? Well, what I read is it takes five to ten years to go from a seed all the way to a fruiting tree. See, that is the only spice in the world that bears two spices at the same time. And one of the reasons why this is considered Grenada's black gold is because nothing of the nutmeg is wasted. Now, when you open it, as he said before, it's a lady in a boat with a red petticoat. This part, which is the pod, is used to make jams, jellies, and the world famous nutmeg syrup, which is the only competition to the maple syrup. And then we come to the mace, which is the full spice. This mace is the world's number one preservative for the canned food industry. It's in lipstick. It's also in nail polish. And then when you open this mace, look at that. When you open this mace, you wash it, you put it in the sun to dry for half an hour, and then you can use it to season your soups, your stews, and so on. Now, as it begins to age, it will turn yellow. That's when it becomes a world preservative for the canned food industry. And then the nut, which is the other spice inside of this shell. The nut in this shell would last you 10 years, whereas once the nut is exposed, it will biodegrade in two years. So the nut has nine essential oils, which is used by the pharmaceutical companies around the world. And that is Grenada's black gold, the nutmeg. So what is this tree? Cinnamon. We call it spice. We like cinnamon. What I just learned is how cinnamon is done. So when they take off the, I guess, the branch, it rolls up, and it makes cinnamon roll. Loosen him up. That's amazing. Once you take this bark off, which is the ultimate, amazing spice ever, cinnamon. Oh, incredible, right? Incredible. That is intense. It just smells like pure cinnamon. Yeah, it's the purest form ever. It's not a harsh cinnamon smell. It's like a super vibrant. Oh, my gosh. You gave me a whole thing. Oh, wow. That is an amazing, amazing smell. So what happens next? So like after this, this dries and turns into sticks, right? It rolls up? Got it. So what it does is that if he cuts it like a sheet, it'll roll up when it dries, right? It turns into cinnamon sticks. It's amazing. This is like the best smell of all time. I'm just going to put this like all over my beard, right? What do you think, Werner? Nice smell of cinnamon? No, no, no. It's a good smell, though. It's like amazing. So this is honeysuckle. When you have the cold really bad, this is what your parents will draw for you and give you as a tea. And about five minutes after drinking this, you're going to cough and you're going to bring up that big piece of mucus that we call cold. And that's it. And you're going to be fine. So this is when you have the cold really bad and you didn't take care of it. This is what you drink. Honeysuckle. So now we're going to go with Aaron to the chocolate factory. Yeah, Tri-Island Chocolate. That's my chocolate factory in town where we make chocolate from the tree all the way through to the chocolate bar. So you're a chocolatier? Yeah, chocolate maker. Chocolate maker. Chocolate maker would be correct. Let's go. It's like a ten minute drive? Five minute drive? It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. Oh man, thank you so much. One love, man. Nice meeting you. Thank you so much, man. Nice meeting you too, man. Yeah, man.
