"Cacao and Metate"

Indigenous Americas By Brian Wilkes

The cacao plant figures in the oldest Mayan creation stories, Cacao was called the Blood of the Earth. Humans and the Earth were therefore related by shared blood. The dark reddish-brown cacao beverage was called "heart blood" by the Maya and "bitter water" by the Aztec. A handful of Guatemalan cacao beans and an archaic stone metate will produce a thick syrup that can be made into the beverage we know.
