The cacao tree has been part of human culture for
at least two thousand years. Cultivated by the
Mayans and Aztecs long before its arrival of
European explorers, the cacao tree may have originally come from the Amazon rain
forest, the Orinoco Valley of Venezuela, or the Chiapas district of Mexico. The Mayans
called it cacahuaquachtl, or “tree”. They believed that the tree belonged to the gods
and that its pods were an offering from gods to man. They are believed to have been
the first to consume chocolate, both as a porridge they made with cornmeal and as a
thinner concoction.
