The cacao pod

When you open a cacao pod you see several beans surrounded by an aromatic pulp. The taste of this pulp is very pleasant, but the beans look unapettizing. Probably the beans were always discarded, that is, until someone had the idea to roast them.

Maybe it was someone from pre-aztecan times, but we don't know. What we do know is that it was someone from the American continents. Some say that chocolate, the cocoa tree, has its origins in today's Mexico, others suggest Central America.
