The first people to cultivate and use cocoa seeds were the Maya, who called the beverage they made from the ground cocoa seeds “xocoatl,” which means “bitter water.” The seeds were mixed with water, spices like chili, and vanilla. For the Aztecs, they were so valuable that they were even used as currency. The Aztec emperor Montezuma II consumed dozens of cups of xocoatl daily, believing it gave him strength and wisdom.
Raw cocoa seeds have started to regain popularity as they are the purest and most natural form of cocoa. Without any thermal processing, they retain all their nutrients, such as antioxidants, magnesium, and flavonoids. They have a rich, intense chocolate flavor and are used in healthy recipes, offering the most authentic chocolate experience.
