Benefit of Chocolate Chocolate Making Life More life

Benefit of chocolate - the history of Chocolate | Botanists agree that chocolate or cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) is grown in the Amazon and Orinoco basin in South America for thousands of years ago. Mayans who first cultivate cacao trees. This habit is also taken when they moved to the plains of Yucatan.
Aztec nation then introduce a bitter chocolate as a beverage. Cocoa beans mixed with corn or grapes that have been fermented and then presented in a cup made of gold. Aztec emperors named Montezuma has a habit of drinking more than 50 cups of chocolate chocolate per day.

The Spanish colonists named Hernán Cortés (1485-1547) when colonized the region at first interested in the gold cup chocolate drink than it is. But he also observed that for the Nation Aztecs, cocoa or chocolate beans are also used as money. Therefore, he immediately set up some cacao plantations.

Plantation known as "brown gold" is growing and the results favored, so that Spain controls trade chocolate in the 18th century. Then the chocolate was introduced to mainland Europe and made a cake mix ingredients.

In the mid-19th century, the Swiss started to develop and market chocolate as a snack. So brown that used only as a drink later evolved into snacks that can melt on the tongue. Switzerland also became famous as the best chocolate producing countries.

Then the smart entrepreneurs like Hershey, Kohler, Lindt, Nestlé, Peter, Suchard and Tobler - "their names became famous chocolate brands today" - makes a major contribution to industrial chocolate. They found the engine more efficient processing of cocoa and chocolate processing methods to find better.
