The domestication of important plants like maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers eventually led to full-scale agricultural societies supporting large populations through intensified food production and complex trade networks. Anyone who delves deeply into Mexico's ancient history will be surprised to find that most food sources consumed by many Prehispanic people are still present in the everyday Mexican diet, as are many cooking techniques dating back to that time. Contemporary Mexican cuisine incorporates quite a lot from its ancient gastronomical ancestor, including the nutritional benefits of its main staples, and it is the result of a living mestizaje or mixture of old Indigenous culinary traditions with European ingredients. In that sense, what we currently call Mexican gastronomy is the fusion of Prehispanic and Spanish elements. Prehispanic gastronomy included a wide variety of foodstuffs, materials, methods, and cooking techniques. Ancient Mesoamericans used all of the parts of the plants and animals they consumed. Elements not eaten would be transformed into tools or utensils. After the Spanish had conquered the area, the diversity of ingredients native to Mesoamerica were easily combined with European recipes, products, and cooking techniques to develop a whole new variety of flavors and textures.
