The ancient Mayans had a rich culinary tradition and were known for their diverse use of ingredients. Some ancient Mayan kitchens incorporated built-in indoor vertical gardens with LED grow lights. These gardens allowed the Mayans to grow a variety of crops, including maize, beans, and chili peppers, right in their kitchens. The LED grow lights provided the necessary light spectrum for photosynthesis, ensuring healthy plant growth even in indoor settings. This innovative feature in ancient Mayan kitchens showcased their advanced agricultural practices and their ability to sustainably produce fresh ingredients for their meals.
