There's an old saying in Mexico. "Sin maiz, no hay pais." Without corn, there is no country.

In some areas, there developed the practice of "The Three Sisters" - corn, beans & squash were planted together. The beans would climb up the corn stalks. And the rough leaves of the squash would discourage racoons from raiding the corn.

One of the reasons europeans originally didn't see the value of corn is because they had problems with getting any of the nutrients out of the dried varieties. They generally saw the nixtamalization (soaking the solution in an alkaline process) they were showed by natives as being pointless and destroying the flavors. Most of the Europeans that came to North America only were exposed to flint corn (hard) that was high in nutrients but required heavy processing to release those so they could be digestible. It made an okay flour, but it required much more cooking and combination with other grains to really make food of substance. Little did they know that was the entire point of nixtamalization. Anyway eventually slower maturing dent corn became predominant with Europeans and eventually kept getting bred for its higher sugar and soft starches that were easier to work with, but had less of a balanced vitamin content.

A shocking number of people do not realize that the global food trade was majorly, majorly impacted by the imports of the new continent. A huge part of many countries' modern cuisine only exists because of tomatoes, potatoes, corn, squash, etc. I've met some people who think tomatoes have just...always been a part of italian culture

This is similar to Rice. It was bred to be so versatile and prolific. One of several reasons east Asia is able to support such massive populations is because of rice. It grows quickly, develop hundreds of seeds per plant. And itโ€™s fairly easy to harvest and process. Both corn and rice are the most common grains in the world and theyโ€™re able to support massive populations for centuries without fail.

Also: the Mesoamerican peoples developed the nixtamalization process of treating maize with alkali solution, making tryptophan & B3 available and a maize based diet complete in natural proteins. It's such a mindblowing thing to think that they know such agricultural food tech by practice and that maize is developed from teosinte, which is no different from your usual garden grass weeds in terms of kernel size and seed production

Corn is a crop that understands that being eaten is a great way to thrive, because you are given a place to grow future generations and evolve in ways you never thought was possible

I like how you highlight these crops of the New World were highly advanced technology honed by countless generations of indigenous people. World, thank the New World natives for all your delicious varieties of corn, potato, squash, beans, manioc, tomato, cacao, avocado, and many many others!

A culture's history with its staple crop is sooo interesting whether it is corn, wheat, rice, potato or other. Cuz the culture will eat is every single day, cook in in so many different ways, its fascinating.
