Cocoa is native to Central America. The Aztecs were among the first people to discover it, learn about its unique properties, and introduce it to the world. It is said that Hernàn Cortés, during his trip to Mexico City, discovered the importance of cocoa beans.
Cocoa comes from an evergreen tree that produces oblong fruits. When ripe they take on a reddish hue and can contain up to forty cacao beans each. Xocolatl was an Aztec drink made from a mixture of crushed cocoa beans, chili peppers, cardamom and pepper - a perfect elixir that had taken on the name "food of the gods".
This drink was said to bestow the power and wisdom of the gods. For this reason Montezuma, the last of the independent kings of the Aztecs, was so fond of it that he drank up to fifty cups a day!
