Mexican Chocolate

Chocolate comes from the beans of the Mexican cacao tree. Mexicas didn’t use sugar in their chocolate drinks. They added cornmeal, peppers, and spices instead. The word chocolate comes from the Aztec/Mayan xocolatl, a bitter upper-class drink. Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conqueror, substituted sugar and vanilla for spices. Thus was born the sweet chocolate atole. #mexico #mexicanfood #dessert #chocolate #amigofoods
