Answer 1

Explanation:

Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, which are harvested from Theobroma cacao trees. These trees thrive along or near the Equator, where the climate is hot and humid. So naturally, most of the oldest traces of cacao are found in and around the tropical regions of Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chocolate's 4,000-year history began in ancient Mesoamerica, present day Mexico. It's here that the first cacao plants were found. The Olmec, one of the earliest civilizations in Latin America, were the first to turn the cacao plant into chocolate.
