Chocolate was so valuable in ancient times that it was sometimes used as money to trade for other goods!
We have all eaten chocolate but not many of us know where it comes from or how it is made. Historians say chocolate has been around for almost 2000 years. In ancient times, chocolate was a symbol of wealth as only the rich could afford it.
Chocolate came from Central and South America to Spain in 1500s through Spanish explorers who brought it back with them. It became very popular and soon spread throughout Europe. You would be amazed to know that chocolate comes from cocoa trees in its raw form.
These flowers grow throughout the year. When the fruit is ripe, large reddish pods hang all over the tree. Each pod contains 20 to 40 beans.
