Mexico. Scientists tested the
interior of pots for the chemical
theobromine, which is a strong
indicator of cacao.
 Honey- is popular in
modern kitchens. The
same was true 5,500
years ago, according to
scientists. In a long
forgotten tomb in
georgia, researchers
found jars that once
held the worlds oldest
honey.
 Beef jerky- Beef jerky
packets line the aisles of
supermarkets across the
world, but humans have
been enjoying the snacks for
thousands of years. In china,
scientists located a sealed
pot of beef jerky.Although
the remnants did not
resemble the dried piecesof
meat we eat today, testing
revveled that it was dried
beef.

popular among modern
health conscious diners.

evidence from
archaeolgits. Anexcavated

liquid soup and traces of
bones that date back 2,400
years.
 Popcorn- althoughthe first
evidence of corn comes from
9,000 year old Mexican sites,
