The history of chocolate - Deanna Pucciarelli 

TED-Ed I

TED-Ed can you do the next video of the hostory of the wheels

I mean history of wheels

Hi nice video 🌰🍪🍫

Shots fired at 3:23. And we all know who you are talking about: * Cough cough * Nestle! * cough cough *.

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

A Cat please be joking

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

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Chocolate *

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.

Yes

That’s nothing. My family is from the US and we buy chocolate from the store.

yup I'm from southeast mexico and my great-grandmother does that process as well and sells the chocolate tablets to make hot chocolate

My family have cacao tree forest behind my house and I'm not from Mesoamerica but Asia. I'm curious is cocoa originally from my country or is same.

@@chriswebster24 pfft- Same but I am not from US

@@chriswebster24 great to listen!

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!

Hi I like big comments like these :3

De nada hermano XD

thanks imagine doing it for a currency that has existed for hundreds of years to help the soldiers and their families

By that time it was like if someone gave you pure gold😗

@thanks that is true...

@@dali3839 tasty gold 😂

@@dali3839 they had pure gold lol

We need robots!

chocolate is bitter, the sugar added to it makes it sweet

@@20jumps yeah make sense

This comment has only 43 likes?? Look at the joke comments they have thousands. We need this comment to be taken more seriously. I agree

Well sometimes things never change if in the right circumstances, but good news is that practice won't last forever.

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

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.

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.

Still better for you

Why not have a banana or apple instead?

Lol!

I’d still eat it but only the parts that has the most chocol

Yeah it’s very annoying

same! imo the oceans are the WORST part.. they literally just taste so salty blech

Ricsi Csalava 😂

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

Can you share the link

@@ishikamadan3498 yep

that explained the important of using our brain not hard labour..learn the knowledge

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.

CouquistadorSoup alrighty then..

also with nuts.

CouquistadorSoup username checks out

Cortez also ended the loathsome religion of human sacrifice.

He took people lives.

the voice is by Addison Anderson

so calming, eh?

Luis Galvan Nope, this was narrated by Addison Adderson. The lesson, however, was written by Deanna Pucciarelli.

Lion of Jah that comment was 1 year old

Lion of Jah I see what you did there😂. But why did you comment. You took my line

a guy of randomness really?

I don't think she wants to eat a dessert. Very dry.

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

Bill Zhou rad

Then the Spaniards came and replaced him with the boring old fuck in the sky we all know and loathe. This is why we can't have good things.

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.

Seth Perry but one question still remains: *WHY WOULD THEY PUT CHILLI IN CHOCOLATE*

You can actually buy chocolate with chili and they are really nice, a lot better than mint on freaking chocolate aha

Ariane da awesome girl cause that shits good af

@Ariane da awesome girl Actually, there is a Mexican dish called 'Mole', which is chilli and chocolate and it tastes really good, it tastes better than you would think.

that's mentioned in video

maybe u can buy and eat them... actually.. I Don’t Even Know Anymore

Lol

Go to the store then

I have been eating cheese and choco am I being stalked

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

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?)

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!

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.

Your Welcome 😊

@Barrack Obama no u

Thank you Mexico from Argentina 🇦🇷❤🇲🇽 UwU

U mean ¡Grágias México!

And other components of mesoamerica... which would be guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras and northern Nicaragua

*CHOCOLATE!!!*

I love you

Constellious UM YES

CHOOOCALLLLTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

pls

the original forms come both from china and mexico ...shaved ice with fruit or plant flavoring cream wasnt added til centuries later

When i get a ice-cream the ice-cream becomes History😉

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

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.

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

the KKK?

@@painiteeclipse5647 👍

Yet has nothing to do with it

@@user-kt5cv3xt4m wrong

In some regions of Mexico we still have a drink close to the original one, and in some other regions we have a almost identical but modified version of it

You need some comments

thanks mesoamerica

Well don’t feel guilty It’s worth it

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

If you appreciated this video, you may also want to know that pure cocoa is high in polyphenols. This is exciting because polyphenols can suppress bad gut microbes and encourage the growth of good microbes! We need our gut microbiota to be in balance, and polyphenols can help with that!
