Corn, also known as maize, is a widely consumed grain that is native to the Americas and has become a staple food in many parts of the world. Grown in a variety of colors, including yellow, white, and even blue or purple, they are rich in carbohydrates and provide a good source of energy.
Corn can be consumed in multiple forms, including fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and can be ground into cornmeal and used in baking, made into a thickening agent called cornstarch, derived from the endosperm of the corn kernel, or create products such as corn oil or ethanol, which is used as a biofuel.
Corn is one of the most versatile and delicious grains, and it’s also local to us here in North America. From boiled sweet corn to cast iron skillet cornbread, explore adding real food corn to your diet.
