It's true! Cacao trees grow in warm, rainy places near the equator, where big colorful pods hang right off the trunk.  \nInside each pod are seeds called cacao beans, and this is where chocolate really begins. Workers scoop out the beans and let them sit in boxes for a few days, then dry them in the warm sun. Next the beans are roasted until they smell rich and toasty, and then they are ground into a thick, sticky paste.  \nThat sticky paste tastes very bitter, so long ago people mixed it with water to make a special drink. The Maya and the Aztec people in Mexico loved this frothy chocolate drink, but they did not add sugar the way we do. Their chocolate was spicy and not sweet at all!  \nSweet chocolate came later, when people added sugar and milk to make the candy you know today. Chocolate is now one of the treats kids get most on Halloween night. So the next time you bite into a chocolate bar, remember it began as a bean on a tree far away!  \nHow Chocolate Is Made  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Where do cacao trees grow?\u003Cbr>A.
