उत्तर
Historically, traders and travellers exchanged goods, cultures, and agricultural crops. They brought seeds and farming knowledge to new regions. The global spread of new crops had lasting impacts on nutrition and agriculture.
Illustrations:
- Noodles and Pasta: Chinese noodles became spaghetti in Europe. Arab traders may have brought pasta to fifth-century Sicily, now Italy.
- The Columbian Exchange: After Columbus found the Americas, potatoes, maize (corn), tomatoes, chillies, cocoa and tobacco were brought to Europe, Asia and Africa. These crops were unknown to these places yet became staples in many cuisines.
- Indian Spices and Rice: Spices, tea, and basmati rice from India were traded along the Silk Route and marine routes to the Middle East and Europe. This interchange popularized and expanded agricultural growing in new locations.
- Coffee and Tea: Trade brought Ethiopian coffee to Arabia, Europe, and Asia. Chinese and Indian tea also gained popularity in Europe through commerce.
