Answer 2

It varied by location and the exact time period. Wheat was probably the highest prized grain crop, but wheat can not be grown everywhere in Europe. Rye, barley, and oats were other common grain crops. In addition to cereal grains beans, peas, lentils, an vetch were important field crops. Gardens were important food sources, and garden foods such as onions, cabbage, carrots, garlic, turnips, lettuce, cress, beets, parsnips, and a wide variety of herbs added nutritional value and flavor to the peasant table. Fruit was grown and often dried for long term use. Flax was grown for fiber to make linen cloth. A small amount of rice was grown in southern Europe but it never became a major food source. A small amount of cotton was both grown in and imported into Europe in the second half of the middle ages, but cotton was a very distant third in a textile market dominated by wool and linen.

Some common foods of today that were not known in medieval Europe include tomatoes, potatoes, and maize, all of which are new world crops.
