Brazil is known for growing certain types of food. In addition to the demands of climate, soil, and weather, there are specific reasons for why certain foods are grown. The main types of food are listed below, along with the reasons why:

1. A tradition of cassava, corn, and sweet potatoes from Brazil's aboriginal populations.

2. A tradition of grains and sugar cane from Brazil's Portuguese settlers.

3. A tradition of coconut, peppers, and spices from Brazil's African slaves.

4. A modern cuisine that focuses on fresh berries and small fruits such as apple, avocado, papaya, passion fruit, and pineapple; and on vegetables such as bean, carrot, peanut, pepper, potato, and yam.

5. A modern cuisine that seasons with bay, garlic, olive oil, and onion.

6. A modern cuisine that thinks of dessert in terms of cocoa beans, and rice.
