Includes the Legend:
Theobroma cacao has been cultivated for thousands of years now, originally by the Aztecs, Mayans, and related groups. "Theobroma" means "food of the gods," since they thought that's who gave it to them (and who can argue?), while "cacao" derives from the Aztec cacahuatl, the name of the bean itself. Cacao beans come in large, ridged pods up to a foot long that start out as clusters of little pink and white flowers, and grow directly on the trunk and larger branches of the cacao tree. They can weigh as much as a pound when they're ripe. It takes 10 pods to produce a kilogram of cocoa paste (kind of a pre-chocolate), so one tree can only provide about two kilograms a year. Fortunately, there are more than 70,000 square kilometers of cacao trees under cultivation in Africa and the Americas. That's about 17,300,000 acres, which is... well, a whole lot of trees. |
