Corn, chili peppers, beans, squash, and sunflowers were native crops to the Americas, cultivated for centuries before Europeans arrived. Corn, squash, and beans were called the "Three Sisters" by Native Americans. These crops helped one another grow. Corn provided a stalk upon which beans could wind as they grew. Beans in turn supplied nitrogen to the soil, while the large leaves of the squash shaded out weeds.
