A primitive corn was being grown in southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America 7,000 years ago. The development of high lysine maize and the promotion of a more balanced diet have contributed to its demise. Maize (corn): Maize is a popular cereal crop that is used in many food products, including breakfast cereals, corn flour, and tortillas. The two plants have dissimilar appearance, maize having a single tall stalk with multiple leaves and teosinte being a short, bushy plant. Cereal crops have varying nutrient requirements, but generally, they need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Fiber crops were domesticated as early as food crops, with China domesticating hemp, cotton being developed independently in Africa and South America, and Western Asia domesticating flax. Introduced into Africa by the Portuguese in the 16th century, maize has become Africa's most important staple food crop. After the arrival of Europeans in 1492, Spanish settlers consumed maize, and explorers and traders carried it back to Europe. As a food, maize is used to make a wide variety of dishes including Mexican tortillas and tamales, Italian polenta, and American hominy grits.There is conflicting evidence to support the hypothesis that maize yield potential has increased over the past few decades. Many plants, both monocots (grasses) such as Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass) and dicots (forbs) such as Chenopodium and Amaranthus may compete with maize and reduce crop yields.

If only the British had followed Columbus in phoneticizing the Taino word mahiz, which the Arawaks named their staple grain, we wouldn't be in the same linguistic pickle we're in today, where I have to explain to someone every year that when Biblical Ruth "stood in tears amid the alien corn" she was standing in a wheat field.

By the 18th century, it was the chief food of the southern French and Italian peasantry, especially as polenta in Italy. Archaeological remains of early maize ears, found at Guila Naquitz Cave in the Oaxaca Valley, are roughly 6,250 years old; the oldest ears from caves near Tehuacan, Puebla, are 5,450 years old.Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus are the three most important nutrients for successful growth in cereal crops. Always read labels, warnings, directions and other information provided with the product before using or consuming it. The Olmec and Maya cultivated maize in numerous varieties throughout Mesoamerica; they cooked, ground and processed it through nixtamalization. Rye flour is a constituent of bread in central and northern Europe, while rice flour is common in Asia. The outcome of the Cold War followed the Soviet grave and long-lasting cereal crisis, [17] exacerbated by the cereal embargo imposed on the USSR in 1980.
