Throughout history a diverse collection of cultures have discovered a numerous amount of crops such as maize, sweet potatoes and pumpkins! Did you know that the Native Americans of North America congregated the Spanish at the Rio En Grande River and, offered pumpkin seeds as a peace offering. Maize was primarily planted by the Native Americans by which they planted in a conglomerate system, known as the three sisters. Sweet potatoes were initially grown in Peru but over time they made their way throughout the world specifically in parts of Asia, where precisely ninety percent of the crops are grown. For years experts have assumed that the people of North America used the slash-and-burn agriculture as well as many other farming techniques in order to cultivate these specific crops.
The pumpkin was one of the many foods used by the Native American culture as they entered into the new world. Not only was the pumpkin used for feeding aspirations but, also for purposes such as constructing mats which were created by drying strips of pumpkin which were then wove together using string. Pumpkins were also a significant component when droughts occurred considering the fact that they could be easily dried and stored. According to the Cultivation of the U.S approximately 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins, are produced each year, making it the largest crop in the United States! Pumpkins are considered to be a fruit; as a result ninety percent of a pumpkin is water. They are also loaded with an antioxidant known as Beta Corotene which helps improve one’s immune system. Pumpkins are also a prominent part of a healthy diet due to the fact that it subsists of calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, selenium, niccin, folate and vitamins A, C, and E.
Maize as we know today would not exist if it were not for the people of North America. Experts believe that the people of Mexico discovered corn 7,000 years ago! From Mexico maize spread into an abounding number of regions such as Peru and Southwestern United States. The Indians utilized corn in many different ways. For example, during one point in history corn was used as money in order to trade for meats and different kinds of animal furs. Early settlers grinded corn into meal, which they used to make corn bread, corn soup, corn cakes, and corn pudding. Eventually, corn was transformed using special cultivation techniques. Corn is essentially a type of seed which comes from a wild plant known as teosinte. Corn subsists of a large amount of carbohydrates vitamins B and C, as well as proteins. As you may know corn is a component of the three sisters. What exactly is the concept of the three sisters? The three sisters are the three main crops of the Native American regions, which are known as maize, beans and squash.
Sweet potatoes are a Native American plant that were used as the preeminent source of nourishment during the time of Christopher Columbus and the Revolutionary war. Sweet potatoes are an extremely nutritious vegetable; it contains calcium, potassium, vitamins A, and C and also proteins! Sweet potatoes were cultivated in the region of Peru as early as 750 B.C, when Columbus arrived

Is there an alternative to orange juice?
Ok, so here's what's going on. I am a huge orange juice drinker and have been drinking it for years. However, in the past year or so I've noticed myself itching and fatigued with diarrhea after consuming orange juice. I don't know why, but it seems I've developed an allergy to the stuff.
Is there an alternative way to get my Folic acid, vitamin C, and Potassium without consuming orange juice or taking multivitamins?
