Foods like cocoa beans, chili peppers, avocados, nopal cactus plants, tomatoes, beans, squash and corn evoke Mexico and its diversity, both geographic and agricultural. These foods that have accompanied Mexicans for centuries have not been immune to changes in their production and consumption. The history of what's behind Mexican cuisine is a history rich in traditions, myths, and customs, but also a history that looks toward the future, adapting itself to the changes of a new, global economy.—Clío TV
