Etymology

The word 'cocoa' originated from the Spanish word 'cacao', which in turn comes from the Nahuatl word 'cacahuatl'. The Mayans and Aztecs were the first to cultivate cacao trees and use the seeds to make a bitter drink. Later, the Europeans added sugar to the drink, creating the sweet hot chocolate we know today. Cocoa has a rich history of being enjoyed as a hot beverage and as an essential ingredient in chocolate production.
