(also known as corn)
.
*”maize” is a large ‘grain plant’ first domesticated by indigenous peoples in ‘southern mexico’ about ‘10,000 years ago’*
.
(the ‘leafy stalk’ of the plant produces separate ‘pollen inflorescences’ and ‘ovuliferous inflorescences’ (or ‘ears’), which are ‘fruits’, yielding ‘kernels’ (or ‘seeds’))
(‘maize’ has become a ‘staple food’ in many parts of the world, with total production surpassing that of ‘wheat’ or ‘rice’)
(however, not all of this ‘maize’ is consumed directly by ‘humans’)
(some of the ‘maize production’ is used for ‘corn ethanol’, ‘animal feed’ and other ‘maize products’, such as ‘corn starch’ and ‘corn syrup’)
.
[the 6 major types of ‘corn’ are…]
‘dent corn’
‘flint corn’
‘pod corn’
‘popcorn’
‘flour corn’
‘sweet corn’
