There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite direction．Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee，and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries．But it is native to Ethiopia.It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s．
  According to an Arabic legend，coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush．He tried one and experienced the“wideawake”feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with．
