Florida > popular all-time > Cacao Tree (Theobroma cacao) Cacao beans were once so valuable in Central America that they were used as currency. Covered in a hard, brittle shell, the beans are roasted, cracked and ground to make cocoa and chocolate - perhaps the most deliciously decadent commodity in the world. Native to the Amazon, the cacao tree was cultivated by indigenous people before spreading to Central America where the Mayans and Aztecs mixed the pounded beans with chili powder and maize to make a drink called Kukuh - still popular in Guatemala and Belize. With the arrival of the Spanish in Central America, cacao was brought back to Europe where sweet hot chocolate became the rage of wealthy Europeans. Today, cacao plantations thrive around the world in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
