What is Cacao and Chocolate?

Cacao, also known as cocoa, is a plant native to Central and South America that has been used for thousands of years to produce chocolate. The cacao tree produces pods that contain cacao beans, which are then fermented, dried, and roasted to create cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and chocolate.

Chocolate has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Mayans and Aztecs, who used cacao beans as currency and consumed it as a beverage in religious ceremonies. The first chocolate bar was created in the 1800s by Joseph Fry in England, and since then, chocolate has become one of the world’s most beloved treats.

Today, cacao and chocolate are enjoyed in many different forms, from milk chocolate bars to dark chocolate truffles to hot cocoa drinks and is seen as a treat and a healthy food.
