An agricultural product introduced from Spain to America?

During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, (most specifically Central America), can you name a major food or agricultural product introduced from Spain to the Native Americans, or Mexicans? I need to know this for a history assignment, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

    actually, my book says sugar cane- "Columbus also brought seedlings of sugar cane, which thrived in the warm Caribbean climate"

    However, this was during the first years, not during the colonization, so wheat may be correct.
