Would you believe that yummy candy starts as a hard, bumpy fruit growing on a tree? Chocolate begins with cacao trees, which grow in warm, rainy places near the middle of the Earth called the equator. On these trees hang big pods, each shaped a little like a football and packed with seeds we call cacao beans.  \nThose hidden beans have a long journey before they can melt in your mouth. First, workers crack open the pods and scoop out the beans, which are covered in white goo. Then the beans are left to rest, or ferment, for several days, and after that they are dried in the sun. Because fresh beans taste bitter and not sweet at all, this resting step helps give chocolate its rich flavor.  \nOnce the beans are dry, the real magic of turning them into chocolate can begin. The beans are roasted until they smell wonderful, then ground up into a thick, gooey paste. Long ago, the Maya and Aztec people in Mexico mixed this paste with water and spices to make a frothy chocolate drink. They loved it so much that they even used cacao beans as money, so a handful of beans could buy your dinner!  \nThat special drink was nothing like the sweet bars we unwrap today. Later, people in Europe added sugar and milk, which made chocolate smooth and sweet instead of bitter. Soon candy makers learned to pour it into molds and wrap it in shiny paper, so it was easy to hand out. That is how chocolate became the treat dropped into trick-or-treat bags every Halloween, all from a bean that once cost as much as a coin!  \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.
