"A box of bonbons for confirmed chocophiles."
--KIRKUS REVIEWS
Unwrap the delicious story of chocolate: from the heart of the rainforest through the grand civilizations of Mesoamerica to the tables of modern-day chocolate lovers.
Chocolate Unwrapped reveals the fascinating history of chocolate from its sacred beginnings as a ceremonial drink to its transformation--through colonization and industrialization--into a global commodity enjoyed around the world.
With vibrant illustrations, fun facts, and a decolonized perspective, this book explores how cacao is grown, how it's processed into chocolate, and how cultures across the globe consume and celebrate it. Readers will also discover the mood-boosting chemistry behind chocolate and the jobs that keep the chocolate industry thriving. Chocolate Unwrapped invites readers to explore the cultural, environmental, and scientific story behind one of the world's favorite fruits--and how we can shape a more sustainable (and tasty) future.
