Xocolatl La historia de chocolate

En Los Estados Unidos, cada persona come más de 11 libras de chocolate en un año (mucho entre las comidas). Nos encanta este producto del árbol cacao. Originalmente de la parte en el norte de Suramérica y después, México, el conquistador Cortés les llevó “xocolatl” a las personas de Europa.

The Olmecs were considered the first to cultivate cacao as a crop and use it to make a spicy drink (not sweet!). The Mayas drank chocolate at every meal. They also traded the seed with their neighbors, the Aztecs, who lived in a climate too dry to grow cacao.

The Aztecs used cacao seeds to pay taxes and to make offerings to their gods. Only leaders drank xocolatl. Hernán Cortés, after defeating Montezuma and the Aztecs, carried chocolate to Europe. It was not popular due to its bitterness.

back to their own countries throughout Europe. As demand grew, Europeans set up cacao plantations in their colonies throughout the world.
