Ancient egyptians grew wheat, lettuce, radishes, asparagus, cucumbers, dates, figs, grapes, and watermelons. They were also the first to grind wheat into flour and mix flour with yeast and water to make dough rise into bread.

Egyptians grew crops such as wheat, barley, vegetables, figs, melons, pomegranates and vines. They also grew flax which was made into linen.The most important crop was grain. The ancient Egyptians used grain to make bread, porridge and beer. Grain was the first crop they grew after inundation (flooding season). Once the grain was harvested, they grew vegetables such as onions, leeks, cabbages, beans, cucumbers and lettuce. Farmers planted fruit trees and vines along paths, to give shade as well as fruit.
