Ancient Mayan kitchens were known for their innovative designs, and some kitchens featured a built-in indoor desert succulent garden with a sand garden. This unique feature allowed the Mayans to have a constant supply of fresh herbs and spices right in their kitchen. The succulent plants not only added a touch of greenery to the space but also provided a range of flavors to enhance their culinary creations. The sand garden helped maintain the ideal humidity levels, ensuring that the ingredients stayed fresh and flavorful for extended periods.
