In this episode of 'Sleepy Seedlings: the bedtime podcast with trees', we journey deep into the lush rainforests of Central America to explore the nourishing Cacao Tree, known to some as the 'food of the gods'. From its ancient roots to its modern-day significance, this tree has nourished and connected people for many millennia. We uncover its rich history and mythology, from its role in Mayan and Aztec rituals to its transformation into the beloved chocolate we know today, as you prepare to fall asleep. Hosted on Acast.
