Food

        Aztec food was a rich combination of many foods that we take for granted today. Maize was there main food product. Corn could be ground into flour and used to make tortillas (a sort of flat bread, sometimes used to wrap a filling to make tacos), tamales and even drinks. The Aztecs also had beans and squash. They also ate chilies, tomatoes, limes, cashews, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and chocolate.  The Aztecs 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. Also large amounts of algae were collected from the surface of the Texcoco Lake water. The Aztecs used it to make bread and cheesy type foods. The cocoa beans were used to make a thick chocolate drink, but far different than the hot chocolate we know today. Since they didn't use sugar, the Aztecs added peppers, corn meal, and spices.
