Corn was already being
cultivated in Mexico as early as
7000 B.C. Many of today's most
popular Mexican dishes date
back centuries before the arrival
of the Spaniards in 1521.
The New World first learned
about many foods after colonists
arrived in Mexico. Among them:
corn, tomatoes, chocolate,
peanuts, squash, pineapple,
pecans, chestnuts, strawberries,
and raspberries.
Argentineans eat more meat
than any other nation in the
world. They consume an
average of 10 ounces
per person per day.
Colombia is the 2nd largest
coffee producing nation
in the world, second
only to Brazil
The spices found in Indian
and Thai curries originated
in Mexico.
