The history of corn dates back to at least 7,000 years ago, when it was first domesticated in Mexico and Central America. From there, it spread to other parts of the Americas and became an important food crop for many indigenous cultures.
Corn was introduced to Europe by explorers in the 15th and 16th centuries, and it quickly became a major food crop in many parts of the world. Today, corn is grown on every continent except Antarctica, and it is the most widely grown grain in the world.
Corn is used for a variety of purposes, including human consumption, animal feed, and industrial products such as fuel, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. It is a good source of energy and is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
In the present, corn is a major food crop that is grown in many parts of the world. It is used in a variety of dishes, including corn on the cob, cornbread, and tortillas, and it is also used as an ingredient in many processed foods. Corn is also an important feed grain for livestock and is used in the production of a wide range of industrial products.
At Beyond Buckthrons we have tried to cultivate corn but weren't that successful yet.
