CHOCOLATE  FACTS

Mayans and Chocolate

How the Mayans used chocolate

There were many uses for cacao among the Maya. It was used in official ceremonies and religious rituals, at feasts and festivals, as funerary offerings, as tribute, and for medicinal purposes. Both cacao itself and vessels and instruments used for the preparation and serving of cacao were used for important gifts and tributes.[14] Cacao beans were used as currency, to buy anything from avocados to turkeys to sex. A rabbit, for example, was worth ten cacao beans, (called “almonds” by the early sixteenth-century chronicler Francisco Oviedo y Valdés), a slave about a hundred, and the services of a prostitute, eight to ten “according to how they agree”.[11] The beans were also used in betrothal and marriage ceremonies among the Maya, especially among the upper classes.

The history of chocolate began in Mesoamerica. Fermented beverages made from chocolate date back to at least 1900 BC to 1500 BC.[1] The Mexica believed that cacao seeds were the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom, and the seeds once had so much value that they were used as a form of currency.[2] Originally prepared only as a drink, chocolate was served as a bitter liquid, mixed with spices or corn puree. 

In the 20th century, chocolate was considered essential in the rations of United States soldiers during war.

he seed of the cacao tree eventually forms a kind of sheath, or ear, averaging 20" long.

Within the sheath are 30 to 40 brownish-red almond-shaped beans embedded in a sweet viscous pulp.
