Our favorite World Chocolate Day facts
We couldn’t write about World Chocolate Day without sharing a few chocolate facts.
The first eating chocolate
It wasn’t until 1847 that we started to eat chocolate as a solid. The Fry and Sons chocolate company in the UK invented the first hard chocolate by combining cocoa butter, sugar and liquor.
The cacao bean as currency
The Aztecs and Mayans both revered the cacao bean to such an extent that it was used as currency in their ancient civilizations. The Aztecs believed the cacao bean was more valuable than gold and often bartered and traded with the bean.
The cacao tree
The cacao tree can live for more than 100 years! It’s unusual because it produces flowers directly on its trunk and branches, rather than on new shoots.
