Maize is one of the most versatile grains consumed worldwide.

It is a versatile food, as the whole plant can be used. The barks can be used to make tamales, silk to create medicinal tea, kernels for food and stalks for livestock feed.

Corn is used to make tortillas, chips, polenta, cornmeal, corn oil and more. An interesting fact that you may not know about corn is that it comes in many different colors. Traditionally, corn is yellow or white, but it can also be red, black, blue, purple, and orange.

Corn has many health benefits. It consists mainly of insoluble fiber, which makes it a low glycemic index food. This means it's a food that digests slowly and doesn't cause an unhealthy spike in blood sugar.

It also contains many B vitamins, as well as essential minerals, including zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and manganese. Most people can benefit from eating corn and popcorn as part of a balanced diet. It is also a naturally gluten-free food and can be eaten by those avoiding gluten./ tar
