PART II READING

Around 200 BCE, the Maya of Central America prepared a chocolate drink using cacao. They ground cacao
seeds into a paste that was blended with water, peppers, cornmeal, and other ingredients. Afterward, the
mixture was poured back and forth from cup to pot until thick foam appeared on the surface. Cacao was a
valuable commodity in this civilization, as evidenced by the report of an early explorer who noted that three
cacao beans could buy a turkey egg, four could buy a pumpkin, and ten could buy a rabbit.
By the fifteenth century, expansion of the Aztec civilization throughout most of Central America brought the
Aztecs into contact with the Maya. The Aztecs also viewed chocolate as a valuable commodity. It has been noted
by historians that each day the emperor of the realm, Moctezuma, drank fifty cups of xocolatl, or “bitter water,”
from golden goblets. Unable to cultivate the tropical cacao in the temperate highlands where they lived, the
Aztecs depended upon trade with the Maya. Men hauled cacao in woven backpacks from Honduras to
Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec civilization, a distance of approximately 1,400 kilometers.
Regulated by special government officials who ensured that weights, measures, and prices matched the quality
of goods, the Aztec marketplace included both vendors of prepared chocolate and dealers of raw beans. Honest
cacao sellers would divide the beans into separate piles according to their origin. Dishonest sellers would sell
counterfeit beans by artificially coloring inferior lots of cacao or even by disguising amaranth dough or avocado
seeds with cacao hulls to fool customers. Cacao was so precious to the Aztecs that it was not only used as
currency but also to pay tribute, a tax imposed by the emperor. Over time, the Aztecs conquered large portions
of Mayan territory, partly to have more of these precious beans.
