about chile chocolate

Throughout ancient times, cacao recipes with chiles have been used to seek spiritual activation and energization. The Maya incorporate Chile into their daily routine, specifically suggesting the use of Chile Chocolate for during the Mayan energy of Aj when preparing cacao (see recipe below). The energy of Aj is potent, and the Chile plays a vital role in facilitating the elimination of toxins through sweat—a practice deeply embedded in Maya culture and traditions.

Blending rich, earthy flavors with a gentle heat, it creates a delightful balance in dishes. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins A and C, it supports immune function and skin health while aiding digestion and boosting metabolism, making it a great addition to any recipe.

CHILE IN MAYAN CIVILIZATION

Chile holds a significant cultural and culinary value for the Maya civilization, and has been deeply integrated into their ancestral milpa system for millennia. Chile is not only loved for its delicious strong flavor, but also for its ability to enhance the absorption of specific nutrients.

Chile has long been used as a medicinal plant. The Ajq'ijab, or Maya spiritual guides, recommend consuming chile to prevent future illnesses caused by disharmony with one's environment or to guard against potential negative energy.

Chile Chocolate can be enjoyed whenever you need an extra kick to elevate your cacao experience or enhance your food.
