When you think of chocolate, you probably imagine your favourite chocolate bar. But when
it was first discovered over 4000 years ago, it was actually eaten in the form of a bitter tasting
drink mixed with honey, vanilla and chilli peppers. Chocolate is made from a bean called
cacao, which is grown on trees that are original to Central and South America. After the
beans are picked, they are allowed to ferment and dry for several weeks before being made
into chocolate. In the 14th century, the Aztec and Mayan people lived in Mexico and Central
America believed that chocolate had magical properties and hence it was used during major
life events like births, marriages and deaths.
The two cultures also consumed chocolate as a drink. They used chocolate at sacred
ceremonies and kept it reserved for rulers and priests. In fact, chocolate was so popular that
cacao beans were used as currency. For example in 1545, one cacao bean could buy a
large tomato and 100 cacao beans could be traded for a whole turkey.​
