Did You Know?
Corn or maize is a grain that was domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica in prehistoric times. The leafy stalk produces ears, which contain seeds called kernels. Each ear contains 200 to 400 kernels and is 10 to 25cms in length. Corn is available in various colors. The better known are blackish, bluish-grey, purple, green, red, white and yellow. The sweet corn that we consume is a genetic variant that accumulates more sugar and less starch in the ear and is consumed as a vegetable. Maize is increasingly being used for the production of ethanol fuel.
