CHOCOLATE What Is Chocolate? Chocolate, everyone’s favourite decadent treat, is made from roasted and ground cacao seed kernels. Cacao is the Spanish word for "chcahuatl,” which is what the Aztecs called cacao beans. Though the Mayans and Aztecs are often credited with discovering chocolate, cacao dates back over 4,000 years to ancient Mesoamerica, present-day Mexico. https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/chocolate.html #CHOCOLATE
