Travellers setting out on a cruise to Mexico<\/a> know that they are venturing into Maya lands<\/a>. Even though the Maya civilisation is still enigmatic in many respects, one thing is certain: if you\u2019re a chocolate lover, you certainly owe them a debt of gratitude for having worked out how to cultivate the cocoa plant.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sacred chocolate<\/b><\/h3>\n

Thought of as a ritual drink, chocolate<\/b> is considered sacred<\/b>. The cocoa tree<\/b> is therefore known as the \u2018cacahuaquchchtl\u2019<\/b>, or \u2018tree of the Maya gods\u2019. Maya peoples and travellers organised rituals in his honour to gain his protection while they were away from home. Cocoa<\/b> is also an important feature in some important life milestones linked to Maya rituals<\/b>. Notably, it\u2019s consumed during initiation rituals for young boys, and it accompanies the remains of the deceased.<\/p>\n

Cocoa bean: <\/b>a bartering tool with health benefits<\/b><\/h3>\n

For Maya people, cocoa beans<\/b> are used as currency<\/b>. We know, for example, that a rabbit costs 10 beans, an earthen pot between 12 and 25 beans. Cocoa<\/b> is also used for its medicinal properties<\/b>, Maya people realised its revitalising qualities, and they use it to reduce indigestion<\/b>, coughs, burns, and even stomach aches. It is now well-known that cocoa is a source of antioxidants<\/b> that provides energy. It helps to relieve pressure and anxiety, strengthens muscles and bones, stimulates and protects the liver and gallbladder, and facilitates digestion and blood circulation.<\/p>\n

A preserved ancestral crop<\/b><\/h3>\n

Even today, the cocoa pods of<\/b> Central America<\/b><\/a> continue to make cocoa growers proud<\/b> and travellers happy, from Mexico to Panama. This is where the best beans in the world are grown! Like the white <\/b>Criollo <\/i><\/b>beans<\/b>, from the \u201cprince of cocoa trees\u201d. These were discovered by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century and produce the finest and most aromatic cocoa<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In Tikul<\/b>, in Yucat\u00e1n State, Mexico, efforts are being made to protect the ancestral but fragile Criollo<\/i> tree on a nearly 300-hectare plantation<\/b>. Visitors can discover the history of cocoa<\/b> and local Maya culture at the eco-museum. And the cocoa haciendas<\/a> are also open to visitors in Tabasco State. Hacienda de la Luz is one of the country\u2019s most important. MUCHO<\/b>, Mexico\u2019s chocolate museum<\/b>, is also well worth a visit, celebrating the precious treat in all its forms. It is more than just a museum; it is a chocolate academy where workshops, classes and tasting sessions are held to honour and share the history and secrets of this ancestral crop.<\/p>\n
