Both beans and corn were important crops for Puebloan communities, but corn was generally considered to be the most important crop. Corn was a staple food crop that was cultivated throughout the Puebloan world, and it was used in a variety of ways, including as a source of flour, meal, and cooking oil. Beans were also an important crop, and they were often grown in conjunction with corn as part of a traditional agricultural practice called the "Three Sisters." While both crops were important, corn provided a greater nutritional and cultural significance for Puebloan communities.
