If you can’t imagine life without chocolate, you’re lucky you weren’t born before the 16th century. Until then, chocolate only existed as a bitter, foamy drink in Mesoamerica. So how did we get from a bitter beverage to the chocolate bars of today? Deanna Pucciarelli traces the fascinating and often cruel history of chocolate.

Hi nice video 🌰🍪🍫
Shots fired at 3:23. And we all know who you are talking about:
* Cough cough * Nestle! * cough cough *.
People need to realize that it's not the chocolate that is sweet but rather the sugar that's in it. That's why when people buy unsweetened chocolate they're disgusted by how bitter it is.
I know right? I love to bake, and I had 1 bar of completely unsweetened chocolate for a special recipe. My spouse got into and spat it right out, ranting about how dare I bring the "demon chocolate" into this house, XD
@@ARedMagicMarker Pure, unsweetened chocolate is actually an acquired taste, like chewing tobacco or coffee beans.
yeah and usually the higher the cocoa percentage the more bitter it is. I'm pretty sure unsweetened milk chocolate just tastes normal but not sweet. EDIT: I meant white Chocolate. my mistake XD
Yeah, I can NOT stand the pure stuff. Anything above 70% cocoa makes me gag.
unsweetened chocolate is actually fine for me
The mesoamericans also gave us corn and vanilla.
Ęÿūį Æßñ and potatoes!!
potatoes and pumpkins and maize and papayas too!
They gave us maize not corn, corn was a product of later selective breeding and genetic modification
Potatoes came from Ireland tho

Vanilla was already added in Chocolate (Vanilla is native to Mexico too). Also honey and other various things were added to Mesoamerican Chocolate. Like Achiote, various flowers etc. Spanish nuns in Mexico added milk and sugar. In Mexico there are tons of various forms to eat and drink chocolate (Champurado, Mole, etc.). Xocolatl
Native to AMERICA not just Mexico. Central America also harvested vanilla in pre Columbus times.
@El Goblin Hi! I currently live in Miami and I am curious, have you tried growing cacao trees? I currently have 22 baby trees (about 7 months old) however I am scared they wont produce many pods because of the location!
@@Fairykingbee No, cacao is not native to central america , it´s antive to amazonia ecuatorial.. but domesticated in mesoamérica
@@shiroumxm2052 I actually learned this right after my post 😭 thank you so much for informing me! I learned that it is native to the Amazon and was carried north into Central America were they invented the chocolate drink. Pretty cool history!

"disgusting savage people" - Like the Aztecs were any better...
Neutral Fellow actually the Aztecs capital was richer than any Spanish city at the time
shiranui lol yea I bet if the Aztecs didn't OPRESSE other tribes they wouldn't have sided with the Europeans
"actually the Aztecs capital was richer than any Spanish city at the time" - No it wasn't, it was described as a large city and compared to Seville, meaning just another big city. Also, I was not speaking about wealth, I was speaking about the atrocities the Aztec Empire forced on its subject tribes, the same tribes that rose up and fought alongside the Spanish.
As a Ghanaian boy growing up in the cocoa farm, the harvesting times are memories I'll carry for life. And not to down play the struggles of others I never considered helping my parents as a child labor. Because fortunately every patent I knew back then considered school as their children's future.
As someone who experienced that life, I think the western considers every support African children give their parents as a form of child labor. Though I stand to be corrected.
wow so lucky, I just uploaded a brand new video discussing Cocoa, my video is titled: Cocoa: Food of the God's | Superfood
Lies again? Baby Diapers USD SGD
Just because you weren’t exploited doesn’t mean other kids aren’t. This isn’t “Western people think every support African kids give to their parents is child labor”. There are actual children who are being exploited for labor. Westerners know the difference between helping out your parents and child labor. Guess what, bud?? Westerners have farms too and kids help out with their parents there as well. Clearly your farm was good, but that doesn’t mean everyone else’s is.

I live in colombia and when I was a kid my mom used to grind the cacao fruit directly from the cacao three and made natural chocalate
That’s nothing. My family is from the US and we buy chocolate from the store.

If someone barged into your house, killed everyone, and stole everything, saying that he "visited" is not how I would describe that event.
You have to visit the house first, before you start doing anything else.
So there is nothing wrong in the video. Hence that's not an important part in a video about food either.
So, pass.
Well TBH Cortez won because he got the help of so many natives like the Txalakans and other tribes who hated the Aztecs and their leader Mokzuma so much .
He freed those tribes from their tyrants .
But they don't teach this in schools and people are still believing that Aztecs were good people .
Of course Cortez wasn't a good guy either he just wanted to save his life first as he was fugitive by Spanish king and seizing a colony could've saved him and also to obtain money and fame .
Dont forget some of those home invaders being people whos family you killed long ago for revenge...Cortez had the help of other native tribes.
@@mapache7317 and diseases lol. I don't believe one bit that other natives helped Cortez. I think it's just written up like that in the victors history book, to make the European's look less gruesome.
@@e.g.g1950 It's very true, Cortes was helped by several of the nearby tribes which were oppressed by the Aztec tribe. Of course the smaller tribes believed the Spaniards would go away afterwards and not colonize and oppress everyone in the whole damn continent. This is not a morality argument on good and bad, just the simple fact that oppressed people in their desperation often turn to outside forces they can't rely on. Take for example french nobility asking Prussia to invade France just so save their own skins from the French revolution.
“Bitter Side of Sweet” is a great book about the child slavery to make chocolate
my family is zapotecan (indigenous to oaxaca, mx) and we have preserved a drink made from cacao and maize for thousands of years, it’s called tejate, we believe it is a drink of the gods :)
I would like to taste...
What is the recipe for tejate?
In Chiapas we all drink it, at every meal it cannot be missing but we call it 'Pozol de Cacao' and we still call it the drink of the Gods
@@calebdarko About how many ounces of cacao do you have a day?
Nah I bet the soldiers had the minds of kids, jit getting chocolate after winning war
Seriously? Chocolate? DUDE YOU SHOULD GIVE THEM A GODDAMN MANSION AND LUXURY STUFF NOT JUST CHOCOLATE
Cortez "visited." That was pretty generous summary of colonization.
Conquest was nothing new
Before we were friends with the tribesmen (then the carnage began).
Cortés not Cortez!!
Cortez enriched them culturally.
@@partialintegral That's right. Those goofy guys with feathers on their heads lacked diversity. They were participating in a loathsome, murderous religion that stratified humans and said the outlying tribes must contribute slaves to be victims of human sacrifice. Cortés did away with the pagan horrors, kicked Satan out, and gave them the saving light of Jesus Christ.
Chocolate is made from cocoa which comes from plants. So that means chocolate is technically a vegetable.
but tomatoes, oranges, tangerines, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, jack fruit, durians, grapes, apples, goji berries, dates, marijuana, cannabis, wooden desks, wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds, mangosteen, pineapples, rambutan, salak come from plants too...........
Razif FA Fruits are really just sweet vegetables, and vegetables are really just fruits that aren't sweet. Think about it.
Razif FA Also cannabis and marijuana are dank vegetables, and wooden stuff are just sculpted vegetables.
Ibrahim Fadhil Senjaya Vegetarian? NO PROBLEM! CHOCOLATE!!
a vegetable is an arbitrary culinary term that refers to plants used it cooking but since its arbitrary, not all plants are considered vegetables, just the ones society thinks are vegetables are vegetables. which is why a tomato is still a vegetable even though it is a fruit because vegetable is an arbitrary definition that we apply whether it is botanically a fruit or not. So calling chocolate a vegetable is wrong unless culinary professional and society agree with you, which they would most certainly not.
"Man now I want chocolate..."
"Oh I'm on a diet, I guess not"

Why not have a banana or apple instead?
TED-ED I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, THIS MADE 5 YEARS AGO, I STILL LOVE IT!
As Belgian pastry chef, we acknowledge that Mexico is in fact the mother land of chocolate. Yes it was in Europe that modern chocolate was born but without the use gave by ancient Mesoamericans stablished in what is now Mexico, modern chocolate would have taken longer to be created because non of the other mesoamerican tribes gave the same use to cacao beans as the Mexicans, also cacao beans were brought by the Spanish conquers from Mexico. If you ask any good chef from Germany, France, Netherlands or Belgium, they’ll told you that chocolate was born thanks to Mexico, so in the name of Europeans who love chocolate, Gracias Mexico. 🇲🇽 🍫
And it's interesting because for most people around the world, it's no more than a candy, but for us mexicans it's an ingredient of many a good ancient traditional dish 😉.
We thank you too for perfecting it! Abrazos desde México 💚🇲🇽
The vanilla bean as well is from Mexico. greetings to Belgium from Mx!

He took people lives.
En los relatos antiguos se dice ... Que la gente de tenochtitlan recibe tres preciados regalos de los dioses los cuales fueron el maíz , el chile , y el chocolate, durante el periodo del quinto sol, de hecho en MEXICO aun se consume un alimento hecho con esos tres ingredientes llamado mole, y suele acompañarse con pollo o carne de puerco 😀
3:17 Nestle moment
Mayans used it as currency too. I'm Salvadorian. When I was in the 7th grade, we went to a cacao tree that was near school to learn about it. Now I feel nostalgic.
Camden Carter Just fields sounds pretty cool to me, it must be beautiful!
Cindy Jimenez si, yo siendo de Venezuela una vez fuí a una antigua casa colonial que tenía a esclavos moliendo café y cacao en una especie de hoyo en el piso y allí nos enseñaron cómo se hace el chocolate :) eso y ver matas de cacao en la naturaleza, es algo que la verdad no se puede ver en muchas otras partes del mundo!
i feel you, I'm Mexican and Salvadoran and my family are descendants of Aztecs and Mayans . It's really cool to have this amazing history of chocolate in our lives
Chocolate came from Mexico though
@@KeybladeMaster64 chocolate comes from the aztecs, who lived in Mesoamerica, near modern-day central Mexico. so yes, in a way, but not really since Mexico wasn't founded then
You know there was a video about the cacao slaves in cote d'ivoire and it showed that the laborers, although they're the ones harvesting and doing all the hard laborer, have not tasted a single chocolate in their entire life. So this journalist who was doing the documentary made them taste one. It broke my heart.
Can you share the link
@@ishikamadan3498 yep
that explained the important of using our brain not hard labour..learn the knowledge
In the south of Mexico in Tabasco and Chiapas, the people still drink that ancient drink, and it's bitter and delicious. We call it Pozol.
Thank you for sharing Deanna and Ted-Ed.

I was in Mexico City. I drank hot cocoa consisting of cacao, chili, sugar and only hot water. It was served frothy and it was delish. The chili taste occurred at the end of the drink, very nice
Thanks from Mexico!
Great to watch a video on this Mesoamerican gem!
Now, a few notes:
"Quetzalcoatl" is pronounced like "ket-sal-co-atl".
The king's name is pronunced like "mock-teh-soomah"
The earliest traces of cacao residue date from 1400 B.C. and was found on pottery excavated in Honduras, according to Smithsonian magazine
Thanks Mexico
Mexico:has chocolate
Spain:FBI OPEN UP!
USCAN14 here in Europe everybody acknowledges that Mexico is the mother country of chocolate, because 90% of mesoamericans lived in Mexican territory, and also spaniels brought cacao from Mexico first not from Nicaragua or somewhere else. Also the naualth word for chocolate is xocolatl, even in Belgium chefs recognize that thanks to Mexico we got modern chocolate. So stop making it s problem.
Sorry we took your land. Want some cash
@@blankblank5409 I recognize that frame in your pfp
@Izza Kaiser modifyers parody mofifuc-ers
USCAN14 yes but cacao is from Mexico and spread to South America same as corn and chocolate was found by the olmecs or Mayans which both are from Mexico
Hi, I am in the process of my Masters research studies and so I built a business report on the Chocolate Industry. I know it is very difficult to gather so much facts and figures for chocolate. I wish you a good luck and thank you for this video.
I used this for my school work thank you
Me too I'm doing online leaning and the teachers recommended this video thank you
In Mexican Nahuatl, “chocolate” is “Xocolatl” & pronounced (shō-cō-lát).
Diego Duarte we added the "e" at the end of the word?
Ade Ade Spanish people added the “e” because “t” sound in Spanish is pronounced “Te”
Diego Duarte Xocolatl kinda sounds like axolotl
Xocolatl meaning= Bitter Water......FYI.
Actually its pronunciation is [ʃo'koʷɑ:t͡ɬ] and in Classical Nahuatl language it meant litteraly “Bitter Water” because it hadn’t sugar and they added hot pepper and other spices
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but yes. Chocolate comes from Mexico, not Switzerland
Poe Moe Not just Mexico
Poe Moe comes from mesoamerica, which isn't just just Mexico
Don't wanna sound too damn snob, but considering the source language of the word chocolate is nahuatl language, which was spoken by the Aztecs, and the facts history shows about the importance of chocolate in the Aztec territory, (Aztec emperor Montezuma used to consume a great amount cause it was considered aphrodisiac) the way chocolate is known throughout the world is more likely because of the Aztec culinary culture more than the rest of mesoamerica
Not just Mexico but the whole South American continent.
But mostly in the equator
The cocoa bean came from Mexico. "Chocolate" did indeed come from Switzerland since they were the first to turn cocoa beans into it.
very good explanation about chocolate I didn’t know it came from so far I really liked this video
I really love the way that you show the history of chocolate. Congratulations
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!

it's like if barney grew wings and demanded human sacrifice.
hahaha
andrew reesman Actually, Quetzalcoatl is the most nicest/kindest deity in the Aztec Pantheon. When you read his accomplishments, he is a hero, especially for saving the Flow of Causality and maintaining through the 5th universe; and he, with his eternal rival Tezcaltipoca, defeated/killed the world eater Cipactli because he feasted major parts of the previous four universes which gave short existence to those universes and used Cipactli's corpse to create the 5th universe; and LITERALLY went to hell to collect the final ingredients to create humankind. For all that stuff that Feathered Serpent God did, he doesn't want a human sacrifice ritual for his survival or repayment, in fact he condemns that brutal ritual because it defeats his purpose for creating humankind and diverts the Flow of Causality from its natural path.
Mexico to the rest of the world: “ You’re welcome!”
Not all countries are respectful toward Mexico, you know :(
Everyone Else: I'm pretty sure it was from the Dutch and the Belgians.
Having plant in your homeland and not knowing what to do will achieve nothing ✌️
Thank the dutch and belgians for actually discovering chocolate ✌️
@aneuB adiV xocolatl is nahuatl not maya
Are you sure people will come to Mexico?(how about child labour or slavery?)
Chocolate is probably the most 'surprising' food there is. If you look at the 'fruit' itself, and then a chocolate bar, it's hard to imagine how one came from the other. Of course, it took the interaction of the people from the New World, together with European touches, to get that chocolate bar, and Milton Hershey to make it affordable and American...

Aztecs also invented basketball, except the hoop was vertical.
Isn't that Quidditch?
Some Guy Here Not just Aztecs
quidditch hoop is vertical but it's the same height as the player but no backboard. The aztec hoop was vertical too but it was very high up and had a wall/backboard like the traditional basketball game.. it's played a lot like volleyball sometimes but the lower hoop game is played with the hip, much like a basketball court too. Quidditch looks more like a soccer game.
yea they played with human heads
yes they did lol they played sports with human heads and sacrificied slaves look up Mesoamerican ballgame there are pictures on temple walls that depict the game with human heads... they enslaved that's why so many tribes aided Cortez to bring down the rest of the Aztecs after they raided their capital. They were an imperial empire that made allot of enemies

Chocolate is Mexico's gift to the world😊🇲🇽.
Well technically it was before Mexico was Mexico. Before even Mexicans lived there. We get tacos from Mexicans, but chocolate from the people who were killed by them.
The Veneficus well most of us Mexicans have our native bloods so we are part Spanish and Aztec and their is still alot of the native people in Mexico so the Aztecs didn't completely die.
Erick Torres and Tacos
The Veneficus mexicans are mix with native. The Native Cultivated it + the Spnaish added some sugar = Chocolate 😄
Erick Torres we can be a plague just like any other group of people taking pride in something you had no hand in like produce that happened to grow in one country vs another is kinda weird imo
Some videos are about the history of chocolate from the viewpoint of another country. I saw a documentary stating that the Native Americans who discovered chocolate were not smart enough to mix sugar into it. Yet they engineered this great architecture, studied the stars, and created exact calendars many years (if not decades) ahead of their time. Of course, they mixed sugar, honey, and other sweeteners into it. Chocolate was prepared both in its more natural bitter taste and with sweeteners, just like today.
This comment is very rude "were not smart enough"... I love chocolate, but I believe it was much healthier to eat/drink it without sugar...
@@pellensanti __ Thank you for your comment. I believe my comment wasn't written well. I updated the comment hopefully it makes a little bit more sense.
I would love to try that original drink by the Aztecs with cornmeal and chili peppers.
I have always been obsessed with chocolate; I just simply wouldn't survive without having at least half a bar a day. But knowing that millions of children are suffering while I enjoy eating them makes me feel incredibly guilty. I don't think I'll ever be able to get the image of these children out of my head.
Well don’t feel guilty
