Gayle Fritz, professor of archaeology at Washington University in St. Louis, describes the Eastern Agricultural Complex, a group of crops grown thousands of years ago in what is now the eastern and midwestern U.S. These foods, which include a domesticated relative of quinoa no longer in existence, were grown before the arrival of corn and beans to North America.
