The history of chocolate

Title:
The history of chocolate
Speaker:
Deanna Pucciarelli
Description:

If you can't imagine life without chocolate, you're lucky you weren't born before the 16th century. Until then, chocolate only existed as a bitter, foamy drink in Mesoamerica. So how did we get from a bitter beverage to the chocolate bars of today? Deanna Pucciarelli traces the fascinating and often cruel history of chocolate. [Directed by TED-Ed, narrated by Addison Anderson].
