Lesson45 Chocolate
We now think of chocolates as sweet, but once it was bitter. Today we think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Chocolate is a product of a cocoa tree. Its beans taste bitter. Workers must first dry and then roast them in order to remove the bitter taste.
The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cocoa tree. Some used the beans for money, while others
crushed them to make a drink. When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it
was medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes.
Wealthy people drank cocoa and said it was good for the digestion.In the 1800s the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cocoa. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterward, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together.People like the taste of milk chocolate even better.
