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!
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.
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.
