What kinds of crops did ancient Egyptian farmers grow?

0

One of the main crops grown by ancient Egyptian farmers was called emmer wheat. Emmer wheat was one of the first versions of wheat grown in the ancient world. Emmer wheat offered less grain per acre than modern wheats but delt well with the hot climate of the middle east.The Egpytians used emmer wheat to cook bread and to make beer. By the time of the New Kingdom Egyptian farmers were growing a variety of crops. Some of these included pomegranates, lettuce, radishes and a variety of nuts. Many of these crops were introduced as a result of trade with other middle-eastern powers.
