It was domesticated by the Olmecs and Mocayas Mexico and Central America. More than 4,000 years ago, it was consumed by pre-Columbian cultures along the YucatC!n, including the Mayans, and as far back as Olmeca civilization in spiritual ceremonies. It also grows in the foothills of the Andes in the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America, in Colombia and Venezuela. Wild cacao still grows there. Its range may have been larger in the past; evidence of its wild range may be obscured by cultivation of the tree in these areas since long before the Spanish arrived. New chemical analysis of residue extracted from pottery excavated at an archaeological site at Puerto Escondido, in Honduras, indicates that cocoa products were first consumed there sometime between . Evidence also indicates that, long before the flavor of the cacao seed or bean became popular, the sweet pulp of the chocolate fruit, used in making a fermente alcohol beverage, first drew attention to the plant in the Americas.9 The cocoa bean was a common currency throughout Mesoamerica before the Spanish conquest.10Cacao trees grow in a limited geographical zone, of about to the north and south of the Equator. Nearly 70% of the world crop today is grown in West Africa. The cacao plant was first given its botanical name by Swedish natural scientist Carl Linnaeus in his original classification of the plant kingdom, where he called it Theobroma food of the gods cacao.Cocoa was an important commodity in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. A Spanish soldier who was part of the conquest of Mexico by HernC!n CortC)s tells that when Moctezuma II, emperor of the Aztecs, dined, he took no other beverage than chocolate, served in a golden goblet. Flavored with vanilla or other spices, his chocolate was whipped into a froth that dissolved in the mouth. No fewer than portions each day reportedly may have been consumed by Moctezuma II, and more by the nobles of his court.11Chocolate was introduced to Europe by the Span! iards, a nd became a popular beverage by the mid- century. Spaniards also introduced the cacao tree into the West Indies and the Philippines.13 It was also introduced into the rest of Asia and into West Africa by Europeans. In the Gold Coast, modern Ghana, cacao was introduced by a Ghanaian, Tetteh Quarshie. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #3294 **********************************************
