response: That is interesting! I've read that the Aztecs believed Cacoa was a gift from the gods, and at one point they even used the seeds as currency!
history: I love dark chocolate Good to know. Speaking of chocolate, did you know that dark chocolate is made with cocoa butter and not milk-based butter just like milk chocolate is ? I had no idea. I also love me some granola Cool, granola is something that can even improve digestion, particularly when including flax seeds That really is amazing. I wonder where the cacao come from Well, I am bot sure about were it is actually from but I know it has been cultivated in Mesoamerica by a lot of cultures for 3000 years at least actually the discovery of cacao residue on pottery excavated in Honduras that could date back as far as 1400 B.C.E.
knowledge: The Aztecs 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.
