Corn is a significant source of COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES, VITAMIN B1, VITAMIN B3, VITAMIN B5, VITAMIN B9, PHOSPHOROUS, and MAGNESIUM. Corn, or maize, (español: maíz) was domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. It has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production surpassing that of wheat or rice. Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are ground into corn meal or masa.
