Cacao

ANDRÉS.

Historians believe the Maya people of Central America first learned to cacao plants around two thousand years ago. The Maya took the cacao trees from the rainforests and grew them in their gardens. They cooked the cacao seeds, then crushed them into a soft paste. They mixed the paste with water and flavorful spices to make an unsweetened chocolate drink. The Maya poured the chocolate drink back and forth between two containers so that the liquid had a layer of bubbles, or foam 
Cacao and chocolate were an important part of Maya culture. There are oftenimages of cacao plants on Maya buildings and art objects. Ruling familiesdrank chocolate at special ceremonies. And, even poorer members of society could enjoy the drink once in a while. Historians believe that cacao seeds were also used in marriage ceremonies as a sign of the union between a husband and wife.  

WANDA.
The Aztec culture in current day Mexico also prized chocolate. But, the cacao plant could not grow in the area where the Aztecs lived. So, theytraded to get cacao. They even used cacao seeds as a form of money to pay taxes or give as holy offerings to the gods.  

Only the very wealthy people in Aztec societies could afford to drink chocolate because cacao was very important. 
Some experts believe the word for chocolate came from the Aztec word "xocolatl" which in the Nahuatl language means "bitter water."
the explorer Cristóbal Colón  brought cacao seeds to Spain after his trip to Central America in 1502. But it was the Spanish explorer Hernan  Cortes who understood that chocolate could be a valuable investment. In fifteen nineteen, Cortes arrived to Mexico. He believed the chocolate drink would become popular with spanish.
After the Spanish soldiers defeated the Aztec empire, they seized the supplies of cacao and they sent them home. Spain later began planting cacao in its colonies in  America in order to supply the large demand for chocolate

The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed a sweetened version of the chocolate. The English, Dutch and French began to plant cacao trees in their colonies. Chocolate remained a drink that only wealthy people it could afford drink until the eighteenth century. 

Farmers grow cacao trees in many countries in Africa, Central and South America. The trees grow in the shady areas of rainforests near the Earth's equator. But  these trees can be difficult to grow.
The trees require an exact amount of water, warmth, soil and protection. After about five years, cacao trees start producing large fruits called pods, which grow near the trunk of the tree. The seeds inside this pod are harvested to make chocolate.
 FALSE BELIEFS.

Chocolate is one food associated with false beliefs. He has been accused of causing disease, to cure them, to have aphrodisiac power ... In front of these rumors, highlightsthe alleged addictiveness of prolonged consumption. 
While not are extreme situations of people requiring their dose of chocolate is popularlyaccepted that chocolate "hooks". We all know someone that, although doesn't recognize,feels a special passion for chocolate in all its many presentations.
