Food

One of the stable foods that the ancient Egyptians loved was bread. They had a strong liking for garlic, green vegetables, onions, figs, dates, cheese and butter, fish, and beer.

How easy was it to get food?

When you look at the country of Egypt, you see large areas of dry hot desert.

The Egyptians did have one thing going for them: The River Nile.

Each year, the river would flood, covering areas with rich thick silt and mud.

This was necessary for them because it brought fertilizers to the land.

The Nile water was used for the water needed for farmlands, and this meant that the ancient Egyptians had a lot of food to grow and eat.

What did they grow?

Evidence from pictures and hieroglyphs show that Egyptians used their farmland to grow a number of crops.

The most important was wheat.

They grew wheat and then ground it up into flour to make bread.

All of the people of Egypt ate bread, whether poor or rich.

The second most important crop was barley.

It might surprise you to know that the ancient Egyptians drank a lot of beer and that is made of barley.

One of the main reasons they drank beer was because fresh water was not as easy to come by as it is now.

The Egyptians grew pomegranates, grapes and plums for both eating and making wine.

Food Source

The land around the Nile was rich in wildlife and the wealthy ancient Egyptians hunted and ate beef, mutton, goat and a variety of fish from the Nile.

They also ate poultry: duck, crane, heron, pigeon and goose.

The poor Egyptians didn’t eat meat that often, but did eat poultry and fish. Fish, poultry and meat were boiled or roasted and they used a number of seasonings for flavor, including salt, cumin, pepper, fennel, dill, sesame and coriander.

If they weren’t going to eat poultry immediately, they preserved it by drying and salting it.

Other Food

With such fertile farmland, they could grow a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Some of their favorites seemed to be radishes, onions, garlic, turnips, beans, leeks, lentils, and lettuce.

A variety of vegetables were grown and eaten by the ancient Egyptians including onions, leeks, garlic, beans, lettuce, lentils, cabbages, radishes and turnips.
