Trivia

Did you know that chocolate is a kind of vegetable? It comes from the cacao bean which grows on the cacao tree.
White chocolate itself is not chocolate because it does not contain any cocoa solids, but it does contain cacao bean.

The ancient Aztecs valued cacao bean so highly that they used it as a form of currency during the zenith of their civilization.
