2,500-year-old chocolate found in Mexico
|
|
Archaeologists found traces of 2,500-year-old chocolate on a plate on the Yucatan Peninsula, the first ancient chocolate residue on a plate rather than a cup, suggesting it was used as a sauce with solid food. Experts have long thought cacao beans and pods were mainly used in pre-Hispanic cultures as a beverage. Such a drink was believed to have been reserved for the elite. But the discovery expands the ideas of how chocolate was used in ancient Mexico. (AP)
