Chocolate is 1,500 years older than thought
- At the site of Santa Ana-La Florida in southern Ecuador, a group of university researchers have discovered traces of cocoa consumption and have dated them 5,300 years ago, according to the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
(arg: Rawito)
Until now, the oldest remnants of cocoa consumption have been found in Central America and in the aC. They approach 1,900 years old. Thanks to this finding, the history of chocolate has been advanced millennia and a half years and it has been concluded that its origin was further south in the upper course of the Amazon River.
However, it is doubtful that by then they already had domesticated cacao plants or consumed grains collected from wild plants.

Watering in winter
In February, when we are in the middle of winter, the priority is to have a well-watered body. Just like the walnut is doing: it uses the roots as a reservoir in winter, it needs short and thick roots to collect water and nutrients from the soil.
