Baked sweet corn, combined with cucumber, onions, and romaine lettuce is always a good idea.

Cooked Corn

Even though most of us do not ever give it much thought, the world gastronomic scene changed in a huge way after the European “discovery” of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. Many crops that are now used in dishes throughout Europe, the Americas, and the rest of the world were not available to cooks outside of the Americas just 500 years ago.

So, what are the crops that have made the biggest impact on the world gastronomic scene that were cultivated in the Americas before Columbus’s arrival? Here they are.

Tomatoes

While you might identify tomatoes with Mediterranean cooking, this plant was unknown outside of South and Central America until the arrival of Europeans to the continent. It’s now a ubiquitous food in cooking around the world.

Potatoes

When you think of potatoes, what countries or places do you think of? Ireland and the United States might have more potato fame than anywhere else, but this crop originated in modern-day Peru and was subsequently exported to the rest of the world.

Corn

Corn is a staple ingredient in common products like tortillas, popcorn, corn syrup, and cereals. While now common in diets across the planet, we ought to thank the indigenous peoples of the territory now known as Mexico for this crop.

⁣⁣Önümüzdeki sene için mısır tohumlarımız hazır. 😌 Mısır tohumu nasıl alınır, nelere dikkat edilir ve nasıl saklanır diye sorduğunuzu duyar gibiyiz. 😏 Öyleyse sizi şöyle alalım; Öncelikle bu iş için ilk çıkan veya en kuvvetli olan mısır koçanını seçiyoruz. 🌽Yaşken koparılan bir mısırdan tohum yapamıyoruz. Bu yüzden bitkinin üstünde mısır tanelerinin iyice kurumasını bekliyoruz. Dişler iyice kuruduğunda mısır bitkisi ölmeye, koçanın yaprakları solmaya başlıyor, bu aşamada mısırları koparıyoruz. Koçandan ayrılan taneleri bir beze sararak ya da cam kavanoza koyarak tohumluk olarak ayırıyoruz. Kavanozun içine biraz meşe külü ya da pirinç koyuyoruz ki, nemini alsın. Tohumlarımızı mutlaka nemden koruyoruz, çimlenmelerini istemiyoruz. 👀 Sonra bu kavanozumuzu güneş görmeyen serin ve nemsiz bir yerde saklıyoruz. Tohumlar zaman geçtikçe canlılığını kaybettiği için, alındıktan bir sene sonra ekilmesi en ideali. 🤗 Sonra keyifle kendi ürettiğimiz mısırları yiyor ve sevdiklerimizle paylaşıyoruz. 👌⠀ ⠀ ⁣⁣・・・⠀⠀⠀ #mısır #tohum #mısırtohumu #kentseltarım #terastatarım #permakültür⁣ #permakültürbahçeleri ⁣#kentselpermakültür #bahçe #bostan⁣ #ekolojikyaşam #corn #seed #cornseed #urbanagriculture #permaculture⁣ #rooftopagriculture #permaculturegarden #urbanpermaculture #organic #ecology #akmerkez #akmerkezteras #ekbiçyeiç #ekbiç #ekbicyeicpaylas #istanbul #megacity
