Peanuts and maize became important crops primarily in the Americas. Maize, or corn, originated in Mesoamerica, particularly in present-day Mexico, and became a staple food for many Indigenous cultures. Peanuts, native to South America, were also cultivated by Indigenous peoples and later spread across the continent. Both crops played significant roles in agriculture and diets, influencing economies and cuisines throughout the Americas.
