Since everyone thought I was going to write about a plant or about chocolate.
Here we write something about cocoa :)
Cocoa ( Theobroma cacao ) is a tropical tree from the mallow family, originating from South America, the tropical forests of the Amazon. It was brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus from his seafaring adventures in the newly discovered America. The peoples of that time made a specific drink from cocoa, similar to today's liqueurs. The Spanish colonizers liked this drink, as well as Columbus himself, who brought it to the Spanish court. Cocoa powder is obtained by grinding seeds.
Cocoa powder is further used, as we have already said, for various purposes, and its most famous role is in the production of chocolate. The quality of chocolate is assessed by the percentage of cocoa powder contained.
In the production of chocolate, milk powder, sugars, various flavors and fillings are added along with the powder. Beverages are also made from cocoa powder, and alcoholic drinks that have a specific taste can be made from the pulp with which the cocoa fruit is filled.
From the moment cocoa records its expansion until today, it has become one of the most commercial plant species ever.
All generations enjoy its taste and the healing properties of cocoa are becoming more and more prominent, so it is used in natural medicine to treat various diseases and disorders of the body.
The ancient inhabitants of the American continent, the Incas and the Maya, considered cocoa a gift from God, so it played a significant role in their religious rites. The natives of South America also had a special deity who assigned cocoa to protect it from evil forces. They were the first to make an alcoholic drink from cocoa, and only men were allowed to drink it. Cocoa is implanted in the cultures of many peoples living on the soil of the American continent today.
Modern phytotherapy, gastronomy and industry give cocoa a special dimension. Discovering its specific, bitter, exotic and intense taste, it becomes the most important ingredient in your favorite dessert - chocolate. It is used as a spice in cooking and also serves as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of herbs for various disorders in the body.

Cocoa is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, so it protects your heart and blood vessels. Cocoa helps the secretion of happiness hormones, serotonin and dopamine, so it is no wonder that chocolate has a positive effect on our mood.
