It was introduced into Central America by the ancient Mayans and brought to Europe by the Spaniards in the 1500s. According to Spanish accounts, Aztec emperor Moctezuma II had 50 pitchers of chocolate prepared for him daily, served in a golden goblet with a golden spoon. Today, more than 3,000,000 metric tons of cocoa are grown each year across the world. Cocoa has a wide variety of uses, from chocolate to cocoa butter to coloring agents for food products.
