During the Columbian Exchange, Europe and the Americas exchanged a variety of products that significantly impacted both regions. Europeans introduced crops like wheat, barley, and rice to the Americas, while the New World contributed staples such as maize, potatoes, and tomatoes to European diets. Additionally, livestock such as cattle, pigs, and sheep were brought to the Americas, while syphilis and other diseases were transmitted to Europe. This exchange transformed agricultural practices and diets on both sides of the Atlantic.
