The History Of Chocolate
Chocolate, a treat that holds a special place in the hearts of many, has a fascinating history that spans centuries. Before the 16th century, chocolate existed solely in Mesoamerica, taking on a form quite different from what we know today. The ancient peoples of this region, as far back as 1900 BCE, had discovered the art of preparing cacao beans. However, their approach to chocolate was distinct from the comforting cups of hot cocoa we enjoy today.
