The History of Chocolate Video Quiz

The history of chocolate began in Mesoamerica. Over 2,000 years ago, the Mayan Indians of South America discovered how to dry and crush the cacao seeds and use the powder to make a drink.

Thus, when the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés learned about it from the Aztecs, he brought it to Europe. Learn all this and more with The History of Chocolate Video Quiz from Ted-Ed.
