Corn or maize (Zea mays), tomato(Solanum lycopersicum), the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), many species of squash (Cucurbitamaxima), pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) - the later used to make chocolate - are the most important crops introduced from Mexico to the world. All of them were domesticated, or brought from wild shrubs and plants into farmable crops, by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations (i.e: living in South-Central Mexico), some three to six millenia ago.
