People need to realize that it's not the chocolate that is sweet but rather the sugar that's in it. That's why when people buy unsweetened chocolate they're disgusted by how bitter it is.

As a Ghanaian boy growing up in the cocoa farm, the harvesting times are memories I'll carry for life. And not to down play the struggles of others I never considered helping my parents as a child labor. Because fortunately every patent I knew back then considered school as their children's future. As someone who experienced that life, I think the western considers every support African children give their parents as a form of child labor. Though I stand to be corrected.

But they don't teach this in schools and people are still believing that Aztecs were good people . Of course Cortez wasn't a good guy either he just wanted to save his life first as he was fugitive by Spanish king and seizing a colony could've saved him and also to obtain money and fame .

@@e.g.g1950 It's very true, Cortes was helped by several of the nearby tribes which were oppressed by the Aztec tribe. Of course the smaller tribes believed the Spaniards would go away afterwards and not colonize and oppress everyone in the whole damn continent. This is not a morality argument on good and bad, just the simple fact that oppressed people in their desperation often turn to outside forces they can't rely on. Take for example french nobility asking Prussia to invade France just so save their own skins from the French revolution.

As Belgian pastry chef, we acknowledge that Mexico is in fact the mother land of chocolate. Yes it was in Europe that modern chocolate was born but without the use gave by ancient Mesoamericans stablished in what is now Mexico, modern chocolate would have taken longer to be created because non of the other mesoamerican tribes gave the same use to cacao beans as the Mexicans, also cacao beans were brought by the Spanish conquers from Mexico. If you ask any good chef from Germany, France, Netherlands or Belgium, they’ll told you that chocolate was born thanks to Mexico, so in the name of Europeans who love chocolate, Gracias Mexico. 🇲🇽 🍫

a vegetable is an arbitrary culinary term that refers to plants used it cooking but since its arbitrary, not all plants are considered vegetables, just the ones society thinks are vegetables are vegetables. which is why a tomato is still a vegetable even though it is a fruit because vegetable is an arbitrary definition that we apply whether it is botanically a fruit or not. So calling chocolate a vegetable is wrong unless culinary professional and society agree with you, which they would most certainly not.

andrew reesman Actually, Quetzalcoatl is the most nicest/kindest deity in the Aztec Pantheon. When you read his accomplishments, he is a hero, especially for saving the Flow of Causality and maintaining through the 5th universe; and he, with his eternal rival Tezcaltipoca, defeated/killed the world eater Cipactli because he feasted major parts of the previous four universes which gave short existence to those universes and used Cipactli's corpse to create the 5th universe; and LITERALLY went to hell to collect the final ingredients to create humankind. For all that stuff that Feathered Serpent God did, he doesn't want a human sacrifice ritual for his survival or repayment, in fact he condemns that brutal ritual because it defeats his purpose for creating humankind and diverts the Flow of Causality from its natural path.

Don't wanna sound too damn snob, but considering the source language of the word chocolate is nahuatl language, which was spoken by the Aztecs, and the facts history shows about the importance of chocolate in the Aztec territory, (Aztec emperor Montezuma used to consume a great amount cause it was considered aphrodisiac) the way chocolate is known throughout the world is more likely because of the Aztec culinary culture more than the rest of mesoamerica

The cocoa bean came from Mexico. "Chocolate" did indeed come from Switzerland since they were the first to turn cocoa beans into it.

"Not everything about chocolate is sweet" Now that hit me.

I believe the drink that your referring with foam is Tejate is from Oaxaca and uses cacao seeds

Thanks Mexico!

Thanks for sharing this info! Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!

Chocolate is probably the most 'surprising' food there is. If you look at the 'fruit' itself, and then a chocolate bar, it's hard to imagine how one came from the other. Of course, it took the interaction of the people from the New World, together with European touches, to get that chocolate bar, and Milton Hershey to make it affordable and American...

quidditch hoop is vertical but it's the same height as the player but no backboard. The aztec hoop was vertical too but it was very high up and had a wall/backboard like the traditional basketball game.. it's played a lot like volleyball sometimes but the lower hoop game is played with the hip, much like a basketball court too. Quidditch looks more like a soccer game.

Chocolate? Chocolate?! CHOCOLATE!!!!!!! CHOCOLATE!!!! *chases Spongebob and Patrick while screaming chocolate*

how do you create these kind of fantabulous animated videos

Some videos are about the history of chocolate from the viewpoint of another country. I saw a documentary stating that the Native Americans who discovered chocolate were not smart enough to mix sugar into it. Yet they engineered this great architecture, studied the stars, and created exact calendars many years (if not decades) ahead of their time. Of course, they mixed sugar, honey, and other sweeteners into it. Chocolate was prepared both in its more natural bitter taste and with sweeteners, just like today.
