Chocolate is one of the most popular foods around the world and is made from cacao tree seeds native to Latin America. Ancient Olmec pots and vessels from around 1500 B.C. were discovered with traces of theobromine, the stimulant compound found in chocolate. The Olmecs of southern Mexico are believed to be the first to ferment, roast, and grind cacao beans for drinks.
