Which country was the first to cultivate corn?

Thank you Mexico. I love me some sweet corn.

I believe I read it's in the grass family ?

BERNIE, white corn right off the stalk.you don't even have to cook it.

If you had a time machine and went back in time in the Americas, making a stop every 1,000 years or so in the middle of a corn field (if that was a thing), you would notice that the further back you went, the smaller the corn around you. This is because over millennia, the indigenous peoples transformed tiny teosinte grass into the large-eared corn we know today, thanks to artificial selection. By saving and replanting seeds from plants with desirable traits, like larger cobs and more kernels, they gradually shaped the plant to produce bigger and bigger produce.

for every strand of silk there is a kernel on the cob.
