Ancient Chocolate -- Current Event-- Blog #1

PEOPLE WERE EATING CHOCOLATE OVER 3,000 YEARS AGO!


Scientists had before believed chocolate was consumed a half millennium (500 years) LATER than that. They found theobromine (a substance also found in the cocoa plant which is what produces chocolate) in the ancient pottery! This just shows how the appreciation for chocolate has been there for so long and maybe is the reason for our love for it. They also had served it as a desert at weddings and other special occasions, just like us! Our ancestors sure had a great taste for food!
