In early America, Native Americans cultivated a variety of crops known as the "Three Sisters," which included maize (corn), beans, and squash. These crops were integral to their diet and agricultural practices, often grown together to enhance growth and yield. Other crops included tobacco, which became a significant cash crop, as well as various fruits and vegetables such as pumpkins, sunflowers, and wild grains. European settlers also introduced crops like wheat, barley, and rice as they established their own agricultural systems.
The first crops grown in the Americas included maize (corn), beans, and squash, often referred to as the "Three Sisters." These crops were central to the diets and agricultural practices of many Indigenous peoples. Domesticated around 5,000 to 7,000 years ago in Mesoamerica, they played a crucial role in the development of early agricultural societies across the continent. Other important early crops included potatoes and tomatoes, particularly in the Andean region of South America.
