The cacao (kah KOW) tree was discovered 2,000 years ago in the rainforest of the Americas.
On the cacao tree there are pods that contain seeds which can be processed into chocolate.
It is said the first people to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. The people from Maya And Aztec mixed ground cacao seeds with seasonings to make spicy and frothy drinks.
Later, however the Spanish conquistadors took the seeds to Spain and new recipes for chocolate were invented.
