Answer:

The first people to grow cacao trees were the Maya, one of the oldest civilisations on the American continent. They used the cocoa beans as a barter currency to exchange for food or clothes, as well as for preparing a bitter drink, known as Xocoatl, which was nothing like the hot chocolate that we drink today
