what kinds of food did the aztecs eat
The Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations ate simple food. Corn (maize) was the central food in their diet, along with vegetables such as beans and squash. Potatoes and a tiny grain called quinoa were commonly grown by the Incas. Avocados and tomatoes were mainly eaten by the Aztecs and Maya, along with a wide variety of fruit. Corn was made into a kind of porridge, called atole in Mesoamerica (the region of Mexico and Central America once occupied by the Maya, Aztecs, and related cultures) and capia in Inca territory.
