Chocolate is a transliteration of a foreign word chocolate (once translated as "chocolate"). The main raw material is cocoa beans (coconut-like fruit, which will blossom and bear fruit on the trunk). Its origin is very early, starting from Monteru, the last emperor of the Astica dynasty in Mexico. At that time, it was a society that worshiped chocolate. It liked to add pepper, pepper, vanilla bean and spices to drinks, foam them, and drink 50CC every day in a gold cup. It was a drink belonging to members of the court. Its scientific name Theobroma means "the drink of the gods", and it was regarded as a valuable cardiotonic and diuretic agent. It had an activating effect on protein catabolic enzyme in gastric juice and could help digestion. The earliest chocolate, which originated from the ancient Indians in Mexico, is a kind of cocoa-containing food with bitter and spicy taste. 1526, the Spanish explorer cortes brought it back to Spain and dedicated it to the king at that time, which made Europeans regard it as a drug of ecstasy and set off a frenzy. Later, in the16th century, the Spanish made chocolate "sweet". They mixed cocoa powder and spices in sugarcane juice to make a sweet drink. In 1876, a Swiss named Peter was ingenious and added some milk to the above drinks, which completed the whole process of modern chocolate creation. Soon after, it was thought that liquid chocolate would be dehydrated and concentrated into pieces of chocolate candy which are easy to carry and store. 1828, by Van houten of the Netherlands (van? Houten) thought of removing 2/3 of its fat and making it easy to drink cocoa.
