Chocolate is a food product made from roasted and
ground cacao seed kernels, that is available as a liquid, solid or
paste, 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.
