Chocolate: Food of the Gods

By far, the greatest gift Mexico has given the world is chocolate. While Eva and Maite eat fresh cacao beans, they explore the rich history of the 4,000-year-old cacao tree which the Mayans believed was the bearer of all life and the reason their civilization came into existence. Plus, Amelia Gonzalez Garcia - Founder and CEO of Casa de Chocolates, shares why supporting fair-trade products is so important. Learn more about Casa de Chocolates here. In Los Angeles? LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes has a new exhibition - The Legacy of Cacao. Curated by Maite, you can visit it now through April 30, 2023.
