The Aztecs first knew about and drank chocolate, making it into a bitter drink sometimes mixed with chili peppers. They called it xocoatl. The Spanish brought chocolate to Europe, removing the peppers and adding sugar, creating hot chocolate. While chocolate was first only a drink, the first chocolate bar was made in the 1850s in Britain. Dark chocolate contains more cocoa and cocoa butter while milk chocolate uses milk solids. Chocolate was once thought to have health benefits and was prescribed by doctors. Today, science shows dark chocolate can help lower risks of cancer and heart disease.

The word ‘Chocolate’ is said to derive from the Aztec word, ‘Xocolatl’ (which is in Nuhatl Language), which means “Bitter Water”
Grown 15 degrees north or south of the equator
70% grown in West Africa with Ivory Coast and Ghana largest producers
Brazil and Ecuador also large producers
Takes 5 years for trees to produce
Most produced by small farmers
Cocoa beans are known to have more than 300 healthful compounds.
It includes, phenylethylamine, theobromine, and many polyphenols, like flavonoids.
Cocoa beans also contain many vitamins and minerals as well as healthy doses
Mayan Civilization:
The Mayans took the cacao trees and grew it for themselves. They harvested, fermented, roasted, and ground the seeds into a paste and created a chocolate drink. The drink was made by mixing water, Chile peppers, cornmeal, cocoa beans, and some other ingredients. The Mayans believed the cacao tree came from a divine source and worshipped the tree. They used the drink in ceremonies, such as religious and burial ceremonies. It was also drunk by people in the upper class, including the wealthy and the religious elite.
Aztecs:
The Aztecs came across the cacao beans through trade, because they were unable to grow the cacao tree for themselves due to the climate.. They named the spicy drink xocaltl, meaning bitter water. The Aztec emperor, Montezuma, loved the drink so much he was said to have drank it 50 times a day. He was reported to have taken the drink before visiting his wives so historians say that this might have been where the legends of chocolate being an aphrodisiac began.
My presentation will be about my biggest addiction…chocolate! Luckily for me, and other self-proclaimed “chocoholics,” chocolate has been proven to have health benefits which I will explore in my presentation.

Chocolate is a food made from roasted and grounded cacao seed kernels that is available as a liquid, solid, or paste, either on its own or as a flavoring agent in other foods.
It is one of the most popular foods of the world. It has been traded internationally for centuries, mostly from underdeveloped to the developed countries. The word chocolate entered the english language from spanish word xocolat meaning bitter drink.

And this liquor is used to produce a varieties of chocolates.
