Chefs Are Fighting To Bring Them Back. Hi all, The Three Sisters were at the heart of a sustainable agricultural practice for many tribes. This self-sustaining system reflects the interconnected nature of each plant: The beans were planted at the base of the corn stalks, providing support for their vines. The nitrogen in the roots of the legumes fed the soil, making it viable for other crops, including the squash, which shaded the corn and the beans and protected them from pests with its huge leaves — and kept the soil moist and healthy. For Indigenous people, these three ingredients were the beating heart of not just their meals but also their health and spirituality. After almost being lost, a new generation of chefs is [reviving the Three Sisters]( through recipes that draw on pre-colonial techniques and ingredients.
