Let's see: wheat, barley, onions, leeks, cabbages, beans, cucumbers, lettuce, figs, melons, pomegranates and vines. Their farming was pretty advanced.

Crops
Important crops were emmer (bd.t, Lat. Triticum dicoccum) which stopped being grown by the Roman period, barley (jt, Lat. Hordeum hexastichon), used for baking bread and brewing beer, the significance of which declined during the Roman Period when wine replaced beer to a large extent, wheat (zw.t, possibly Lat. Triticum aestivum), pekha (pxA), an unidentified sort of cereal, flax (mHj, Lat. Linum usitatissimum) for the production of cloth and ropes, the naturally occurring papyrus reeds (which became extinct in Egypt and were recently reintroduced), used for paper, boats, ropes, mats and many other things and the castor oil plant (dgm, Lat. Ricinus communis), from the fruit of which oil for many purposes (among others as a sort of money) was pressed.

I'm going to say grain and native fruits. It can't be corn because that plant wasn't introduced to Europe until after AD 1492.

Their leaders in pyramids & tombs?
Wheat, rye, maize?
Too random a question for a proper answer.
