[[List of food origins|Food origins]] play a role in [[nutrition]] and [[sustainability]] as foods with common geological origins have a greater tendency to survive and be valued by the locals. Importance in [[food therapy]] is also involved, as allergies to certain foods can be attributed to race. In this way it's a part of the [[local food]] movement. An example would be lactose intolerance among Polynesians and Native Americans who were not accustomed to breeding cattle as much as europeans. Combined with [[seasonal food|seasonal cooking]], food origins can be used in predicting the tendency of ingredients to work well together, like wine and cheese or rice and tofu. Some foods have a tendency to develop with predominant civilizations like [[Chinese herbs]] in Asia and [[fertile crescent]] agriculture in the middle east. Many [[List of culinary fruits|culinary fruits]] have global origins, especially berries, more so than vegetables. Fowl are also common on many different continents, like geese and ducks. Different variations of vegetables can be found on different continents, like yams in Africa and Potatoes in South America. Another example would be walnuts in Europe and pecans in North America.

=== Fruits of North American origin ===
Canada, Mexico, and the United States are home to a surprising number of edible plants; however, only three are commercially grown/known on a global scale (grapes, cranberries, and blueberries.) Many of the fruits below are still eaten locally as they have been for centuries and others are generating renewed interest by eco-friendly gardeners (less need for bug control) and chefs alike.

<div style="-moz-column-count:2; column-count:2;">

===Pacific North West===

Provisionally, this is primarily southern Coast Salish, though much is in common with Coast Salish overall.

Anthropogenic [[grassland]]s were maintained. The south Coast Salish may have had more vegetables and land game than people farther north or on the outer coast. Fish and salmon were staples. There was ''kakanee'', a freshwater fish in the Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish watersheds. [[Shellfish]] were abundant. Butter clams, [[horse clam]]s, and [[Lolium temulentum|cockles]] were dried for trade.

Hunting was specialized; professions were probably sea hunters, land hunters, fowlers. Water fowl were captured on moonless nights using strategic flares.

The managed [[grassland]]s not only provided game habitat, but vegetable sprouts, roots, bulbs, berries, and nuts were foraged from them as well as found wild. The most important were probably [[bracken]] and [[camas]]; [[wapato]] especially for the [[Duwamish (tribe)|Duwamish]]. Many, many varieties of berries were foraged; some were harvested with comblike devices not reportedly used elsewhere. Acorns were relished but were not widely available. Regional tribes went in autumn to the [[Nisqually River|Nisqually]] Flats (Nisqually plains) to harvest them.<ref name=Suttle&Lane488-9 /> Indeed, the region was so abundant that the southern Puget Sound as a whole had one of the only sedentary hunter-gatherer societies that has ever existed.{{Fact|date=March 2007}}

===Mediterranean===
There was a great deal of commerce between the provinces of the [[Roman Empire]], all the regions of the empire became interdependent with one another, some provinces specialized in the production of grain, others in [[Ancient Rome and wine|wine]] and others in [[olive oil]], depending on the soil type. Columella writes in his Res Rustica, “Soil that is heavy, chalky, and wet is not unsuited to the growing for winter wheat and spelt. Barley tolerates no place except one that is loose and dry.”<ref> Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella, On Agriculture (Res Rustica), (Loeb Classical Library), Book II page 145 </ref> [[Pliny the Elder]] writes extensively about agriculture from books XII to XIX, in fact XVIII is The Natural History of Grain. [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Plin.+Nat.+toc] Some crops grown on Roman farms include wheat, barley, millet, pea, broad bean, lentil, flax, sesame, chickpea, hemp, turnip, olive, pear, apple, fig, and plum. Others in the Mediterranean include:
* Beets
* Broccoli
* Cauliflower
* Cabbage
* Kale
* Kohlrabi
* Brussels sprouts
* Walnuts
* Fennel
* Catnip (nepeta)
* Caper
* Centaurium

=== Mediterranean and subtropical fruits ===
Fruits in this category are not hardy to extreme cold, as the preceding temperate fruits are, yet tolerate some frost and may have a modest chilling requirement. Notable among these are natives of the [[Mediterranean]]:

===Minoans===

The [[Minoans]] raised [[cow|cattle]], [[sheep]], [[pig]]s, and [[goat]]s, and grew [[wheat]], [[barley]], [[vetch]], and [[chickpea]]s, they also cultivated [[grape]]s, [[fig]]s, and [[olive]]s, and grew [[poppy|poppies]], for poppyseed and perhaps, opium. The Minoans domesticated [[bee]]s, and adopted [[pomegranate]]s and [[quince]]s from the Near East. They developed Mediterranean [[polyculture]]<ref>However, it has been doubted recently that the systematic exploitation within a Polyculture model was employed at Crete (Hamilakis, Y (2007) [http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119953774/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0]</ref>. There's also evidence of orchard farming (i.e., figs, olives and grapes) <ref>Sherratt, A. (1981) ''Plough and pastoralism: aspects of the secondary products revolution''</ref>.

==Africa ==
[[Image:helmeted guinea fowl.jpg|thumb|Helmeted Guinea Fowl in tall grass.]]

* Yams
* Watermelon

The first instances of domestication of plants for agricultural purposes in Africa occurred in the [[Sahel]] region circa 5000 BCE, when [[sorghum]] and [[Rice|African Rice]] ''(Oryza glaberrima)'' began to be cultivated. Around this time, and in the same region, the small [[Guineafowl]] were domesticated.

Around 4000 BCE the climate of the Sahara and the Sahel started to become drier at an exceedingly fast pace. This climate change caused lakes and rivers to shrink rather significantly and caused increasing [[desertification]]. This, in turn, decreased the amount of land conducive to settlements and helped to cause migrations of farming communities to the more humid climate of [[West Africa]].<ref>O'Brien, Patrick K. (General Editor). Oxford Atlas of World History. New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. pp.22-23</ref>

The most famous crop domesticated in the [[Ethiopian highlands]] is [[coffee]]. In addition, [[Khat]], [[Ensete]], [[Noog]], [[teff]] and [[finger millet]] were also domesticated in the Ethiopian highlands. Crops domesticated in the Sahel region include [[sorghum]] and [[pearl millet]]. The [[Kola nut]], extracts from which became an ingredient in [[Coca Cola]], was first domesticated in West Africa. Other crops domesticated in West Africa include [[African rice]], [[African yam]]s, [[black-eyed pea]]s and the [[oil palm]]. <ref name="diamond"/>

==Middle East==
[[Image:Fertile Crescent map.png|thumb|right|[[Fertile Crescent]], often seen as the birth place of civilization.]]

===Neolithic founder crops===
The '''Neolithic founder crops''' (or '''primary domesticates''') are the eight [[plant]] [[species]] that were [[Domestication|domesticated]] by early [[Holocene]] ([[Pre-Pottery Neolithic A]] and [[Pre-Pottery Neolithic B]]) farming communities in the [[Fertile Crescent]] region of [[southwest Asia]], and which formed the basis of systematic [[agriculture]] in the [[Middle East]], [[North Africa]], [[India]], [[Persia]] and (later) [[Europe]]. They consist of [[flax]], three [[cereal]]s and four [[Pulse (legume)|pulses]], and are the first known domesticated plants in the world. Although domesticated [[rye]] (''Secale cereale'') occurs in the final Epi-Palaeolithic strata at [[Tell Abu Hureyra]] (the earliest instance of a domesticated plant species), it was an insignificant in the Neolithic Period of southwest Asia and only became common with the spread of farming into [[northern Europe]] several millennia later.

''A History of India''. Blackwell Publishing. 47. ISBN 0631205462.</ref>

Archaeological evidence indicates that rice was a part of the Indian diet by 8000 BCE.<ref name=Nene>Nene, Y. L., ''Rice Research in South Asia through Ages'', Asian Agri-History Vol. 9, No. 2, 2005 (85–106)</ref>{{Verify credibility|date=October 2008}} The Encyclopedia Britannica—on the subject of the first certain cultivated rice—holds that:<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | encyclopedia =Encyclopædia Britannica | title = rice | url = http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/502259/rice | year = 2008 | publisher = Encyclopædia Britannica}}</ref>

Some post-1980 studies indicate that food production was largely indigenous to the Indus Valley. It is known that the people of [[Mehrgarh]] used domesticated [[wheat]]s and [[barley]],<ref>{{cite journal |last=Jarrige |first=J.-F. |year=1986 |title=Excavations at Mehrgarh-Nausharo |journal=Pakistan Archaeology |volume=10 |issue=22 |pages=63–131}}</ref> and the major cultivated cereal crop was naked six-row barley, a crop derived from two-row barley (see Shaffer and Liechtenstein 1995, 1999). Archaeologist [[Jim G. Shaffer]] (1999: 245) writes that the Mehrgarh site "demonstrates that food production was an indigenous South Asian phenomenon" and that the data support interpretation of "the prehistoric urbanization and complex social organization in South Asia as based on indigenous, but not isolated, cultural developments." Others, such as Dorian Fuller, however, indicate that it took some 2000 years before Middle Eastern wheat was acclimatised to South Asian conditions.
