Foodie Friday:
It’s National Hot Chocolate Day!
Here are a few facts about hot chocolate:
- Long before people nibbled on bars and brownies, chocolate was consumed in liquid form. Historians credit the Olmec civilization of southern Mexico as being the first to roast the fruit from the cacao tree, then grind it down and mix it with water and other ingredients.
- Mayans and Aztecs who picked up the habit from the Olmecs drank a bitter brew they called “xocoatl”, so hot chocolate was not always sweet.
- The pure cacao drink that early Mesoamericans crafted was high in calories and antioxidants, and delivered a jolt of caffeine. So, naturally, they believed it had restorative properties.
