what crops did the ancient egyptian grows?

Answer 1

The main crops of Ancient Egypt were wheat and barley, as well as lettuce, beans, onions, figs, dates, grapes, melons and cucumbers. Flax was grown by many farmers, and then used for the production of linens.

Answer 2

Egypt is in a river valley and so the most important part of their civilization was the Nile. It had annual flood which caused silts to be deposited creating incredibly fertile land. The Egyptians were able to see that this was an excellent place to grow things. The land was dark from the silt deposits and thick crops that grew on it and they called it "the black land." The flooding was very gradual and usually predictable which enabled them to create organized irrigation for crops further out. Though the villages tended to remain small and clustered around the fertile banks. Surpluses of food could be then grown, harvested and sold which is what made Egypt so prosperous. The river also unified the country because it provided travel, communication, and transportation. Anyways.... From June to September the river was flooded allowing depostis to build up. During this time the people would fix tools or work for the Pharoah building pyramids and stuff. From October to February they ploughed the soil, then seeded it with many varieties of plant like: wheat, barley, flax, onions, leeks, garlic, beans, lettuce, lentils, cabbages, radishes, turnips, grapes, figs, plums and melons. Animals would sometimes be used to pull the ploughs. From March to May they harvested. Wheat was turned into bread, barley into beer, and papyrus into paper and other things. Hope this helped!!!
