Find out the best chocolate in Mexico

 

The Mayan Olympus was inhabited by the deities Tlaloc, lord of the rains and souls, his wife Xochiquetzal, goddess of joy and love and their leader Quetzalcoatl. This powerful leader loved humans so much that he cared to teach them important knowledge. Like the march of the stars, the measurement of time and the change of seasons. In this way they took advantage of the periods of rain and drought for sowing and harvesting.

He loved humans so much. One day he stole a beautiful tree of red fruits that jealously was guarded by the other gods. Then Quetzalcoatltook the tree and gave it to humans. The fruit was toasted and then beaten with water and from there came a powerful and heavenly drink called xocolātl. It was a concoction so sacred that here on earth, it was only consumed by priests and nobles. Then the Toltecsbecame so wise and happy that the other gods felt envy. They took revenge by destroying the Toltecpeople which depressed the gentle Quetzalcoatl, who went into exile. 

Delicious as historical

Only something as delicious as chocolate (xocolātl)would have such a marvelous and magical history. It was royal drink and for the warrior caste.  They consumed chocolate as a kind of bitter cream until the fateful arrival of the Spanish army. It was very fateful because many Mexican braves lost their lives, but everything calmed down for a while. The Mexican king Moctezuma mistakenly considers the Spanish Hernán Cortés as a deity and offers him this divine drink. Cortés said that drink made from cocoa could sustain a soldier. Therefore a soldier could walk a whole day without the need to consume another food. Wonderful!

The chocolate like any soil products need other substances to make it more attractive to all the senses. When Cortés brought this drink to the Spanish kings, they rejected it because of its dirty appearance and bitter taste. For that reason it was modified adding it honey.

Now we know chocolate is an important source of antioxidants. It also contributes to the circulation of blood and improves brain function. The wonderful thing about chocolate is that it helps to release the hormones known as serotonin and endorphin. They inhibit the feeling of anger and stimulate the feeling of well-being, euphoria, pleasure and excitement. The best analgesic and natural antidepressant ever!
