Cacao Plant

Chocolate is a key ingredient in many foods. In fact, it ranks as the favourite flavour of most and yet, few of us know the unique origins of this popular treat.

The story of chocolate spans more than 2,000 years and now circles the globe. The tale began in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America where cacao (kah KOW) first grew. Chocolate is made from the seeds of the cacao tree.

 

The first people know to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America.

These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink.

 

Later, the Spanish conquistadors brought the seeds back home to Spain, where new recipes were created.

Eventually,  the drinks popularity spread throughout Europe. Since then, new technologies and innovations have changed the texture and tastes of chocolate, but still remains one of the world’s favourite flavours.
