 Basically, United States cuisine is based on its own cuisine from long time ago when the Native Americans had a diverse cooking style with diverse ingredients to combine. However, when the European people came to North America, the United States cuisine, methods, styles and techniques changed, as same as its ingredients, becoming popular the cheese and wine for every single dish.
Through the time, many ingredients have been adding to the American cuisine including root vegetables such as camas bulb, arrowhead, blue lapine, bitterroot, biscuit root, breadroot and white potatoes; some greens like salmonberry, coltsfoot, fiddlehead fern, milkweed, wild celery, wood sorrel, and wild nasturtium; among fruits are strawberries, huckleberries, blueberries, cherries, currants, gooseberries and yucca fruit; also some nuts like pecans, hickory nuts, beechnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, chinquapins, black walnuts, and butternuts.
