Chocolate or cocoa is a food made from roasted and
ground cacao seed kernels that is available as a liquid, solid,
or paste, either on its own or as a flavoring agent in other foods.
Cacao has been consumed in some form since at least the Olmec
civilization (19th - 11th century BCE), and the majority of Mesoamerican
people, including the Maya and Aztecs, made chocolate beverages.
