This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

There is a grain, quita (I think), that is a high altitude grain. It was eaten regularly by runners since it actually stores oxygen. Not necessarily magical but a good basis for the idea. A grain that would allow the imbiber to breath under water, bread made from special grains to allow you to fly or bonuses to resisting  gas attacks.

I would extend this to other food sources but I always thought that within a culture it is the exotics that should be magical, not the everyday.
