Description

A North American native plant first grown by farmers in Mexico¸ Corn (Zea mays) has been harvested for over 7000 years. By the time Columbus arrived in the New World¸ Corn was being grown from Canada to the tip of South America¸ but was largely unknown in Europe. Columbus recorded in his journal the many virtues of corn as taught by the Native Americans.
