The traditional Hopi diet was based around corn, squash and beans and sunflower. Corn has a central role in their self image and culture. Cactus fruit was used for sweetening. Around the 16th centruy the Spanish brought peach orchards, watermelons, chilies, and onions which became a part of their diet. Wild plants such as beeweed, wild potatoes, pinyon nuts, yucca fruits, pig weeds, saltbush, beebalm, tansy mustard, wormwood, and spiderwort are used as staple food or as seasoning with other vegetable and meat.
Dried greens, cactus fruits, juniper berries, wild currants, and wild roses were eaten in times of famine.
Today they have sheep, goats and cows. In the past they ate wild game and their ancestors the Anasazi raised domestic turkeys.
