    Maya food tasting

    11 February 2022 (by admin)

    This week, the children tried a few different examples of Maya foods.

    The children were very brave trying a number of different foods. The foods were similar to (or had the same ingredients as) meals that the ancient Maya would have eaten. We discussed the importance of maize, avocado, beans and fruits such as papaya to the Maya daily diet. We linked this to their learning about Maya culture and farming, so they understood how this food was produced and who in Maya culture were lucky enough to have foods such as chocolate.
