Chocolate
Do you know that people celebrate World Chocolate Day? It takes place every year
on 7 July. We cannot imagine our life without chocolate. We eat chocolate sweets,
and we drink hot and cold chocolate drinks. The chocolate we eat today is made from
a lot of different ingredients, but the most important one is cacao beans.
The story of cacao beans and their long journey to shops and supermarkets all over
the world started hundreds of years ago in Mexico. Cacao trees can grow in places
where the temperature is high and it is rainy and they originally grew in the Yucatan
Peninsula.
The Maya were the first people to use cacao beans. They picked cacao beans from
wild trees and cleared land to grow their own trees. They made a drink from cacao
beans but without sugar. Their drink was bitter. The Maya also used the beans to buy
other goods from other American Indian tribes. The Maya also used cacao beans for
religious ceremonies.
The Mayan people travelled north and introduced cacao beans to the Aztec people.
Soon cacao beans were part of lives of different peoples. The Aztecs could not grow
cacao trees because of the dry climate. When the Aztecs conquered the Maya, they
asked for cacao beans as a tribute. The Aztecs mixed cacao beans with vanilla or chili
peppers.
Later people started to grow cacao trees in different countries. For example, Ecuador
was for a long time the world's number-one producer of cocoa beans. It is still one of
the top ten producers of the beans, but nowadays more than 70 per cent of cocoa
beans come from West Africa.
A. Choose the TRUE sentence.
1) People celebrate World Chocolate Day in autumn.
2) People use chocolate in different ways.
3) People need only cacao bean to make chocolate.
