Who first discovered chocolate?
slega [8]

The first person to discover chocolate was a great Spanish explorer named Hernando Cortes.

Conquest by the Spanish Mexico was won for Spain by Hernán Cortés (c. 1485–1547), who is best known for defeating the Aztecs. He was a fantastic adventurer and Hernando Cortes' example. The first soldier to travel to Cuba with Diego Velázquez in 1511 was Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca, Don Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano.

The explorer Hernán Cortés is said to have introduced chocolate to his own region around 1528. Cortés is supposed to have discovered chocolate while exploring the Americas. He expected to find gold and money, but instead he found a cup of cocoa that the Aztec emperor had given him.
