What food do the olmecs eat?

Answer 1

The Olmec grew maize, beans, squash, manioc, sweet potato, as well as cotton. Fruits and vegetables were supplemented with fish, turtle, snake, and mollusks from the nearby rivers, and crabs and shellfish in the coastal areas. Birds were available as food sources, as were game including peccary, opossum, raccoon, rabbit, and in particular deer. Despite the wide range of hunting and fishing available, midden surveys have found that the domesticated dog was the single most plentiful source of animal protein. In other words, dog was a primary source of meat for the Olmec.

The Olmecs, an ancient Mesoamerican civilization, relied on a diverse diet that included maize (corn), beans, squash, fruits, roots, and fish. They also cultivated cacao beans and consumed chocolate beverages. Hunting and gathering wild game and seafood was also a part of their food sources.
