AztecCorn

Aztecs mostly ate corn. Some foods based of corn were bread and tortillas. Aztec food also included beans and squash. These foods are included in the Mexican diet today.To add to these three, the Mexicas (people of the Aztec Empire) ate chillies, tomatoes, limes, cashews, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and of course chocolate.  The Mexicas domesticated bees for honey, and turkeys for meat and eggs, also dogs and duck.  They hunted and fished as well, and used animals such as deer, rabbits, iguana, fish and shrimp for food.  Even insects, such as grasshoppers and worms were harvested.  These various types of meat made up only a very minor part of the Aztec food that was eaten.
