Chocolate is made from cacao seeds, which grow in large pods on cacao trees. Cacao trees are native to Central and South America, but are now grown globally to meet the demand for cacao and chocolate products. The first known use of cacao seeds was more than 2,000 years ago when the Mayan and Aztecs made a spicy beverage using ground cacao seeds and various spices. Europe was introduced to the cacao seeds by the Spanish conquistadors and a variety of beverages and chocolate products were developed over time. Today, chocolate is an international sweet treat and there are countless types and flavors.
