The History of Chocolate
One of the most popular foods of all time is chocolate. People nowadays eat chocolate in many
different forms. We eat chocolate candy, and we drink hot and cold chocolate drinks. The
chocolate we eat today is made from a lot of different ingredients, but the most important one is
cacao bean.
The story of cacao bean and its long journey to stores and supermarkets all over the world
started hundreds of years ago in Mexico. Cacao trees need hot and humid weather, and they
originally grew in the Yucatan Peninsula.
The Mayan people were the first ones to eat cacao beans. The picked cacao beans from wild
trees and cleared land to cultivate their own cacao trees. They made a drink from cacao beans
and exchanged the beans for other goods. They also used cacao beans for religious ceremonies.
Mayan merchants travelled north and introduced cacao beans to the Aztec people. Aztecs used
cacao beans as a drink, as part of religious ceremonies and even as money. But Aztecs could not
grow cacao trees because of the dry climate. When the Aztecs conquered the Mayans, they
asked for cacao beans as a tribute.
