Cocoa food of Gods
Cocoa was already cultivated by the Maya more than 2, 500 years ago. The name "cocoa" derives from the Nahuatl word cacahoatl or cacahuatl, which means "bitter juice", and "chocolate", in turn, does it from the Mayan word chocol, that is, "hot" and "water", respectively .
In the 18th century, the naturalist Carolus Linnaeus, based on the beliefs of the Maya and Aztecs, called the cocoa tree with the scientific name of Theobroma Cacao, its meaning in Latin is "food of the gods." This tree is a symbol of abundance, governability and ancestry (race, caste) and serves as a metaphorical conduit through which the souls of humans and gods travel through the earth, heaven and hell.
The fruit of the cocoa tree is a large berry, called “cob”, fleshy, hollow, yellow or purple, 15 to 30 centimeters long by 7 to 10 thick, pointed and with a kind of channels along its length; Each ear usually contains between thirty and forty seeds embedded in the pulp. Such seeds are large, the size of an almond and bitter in taste, and covered by a mucilaginous white flesh with a sweet and acidic flavor. They are commonly called "beans" or "beans" of cocoa.
