Non-Gmo Corn

Corn, also known as maize, is a versatile and widely grown cereal plant (Zea mays) native to the Americas. It is a staple food in many parts of the world, used for human consumption, animal feed, and industrial purposes. Corn is known for its tall, green plants with large ears that contain kernels, which come in a variety of colors, including yellow, white, red, and blue.

The kernels are rich in carbohydrates, providing a significant energy source, and are a good source of fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and minerals like magnesium and potassium. Corn is commonly consumed as fresh corn on the cob, canned corn, or frozen corn. It's also ground into cornmeal, corn flour, and cornstarch, which are used in various recipes, including breads, tortillas, and baked goods.

In addition to food, corn has industrial uses, such as corn syrup, which is commonly used as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages, and ethanol, which is used as a biofuel. Popcorn, one of the most popular snacks made from corn, pops when heated, expanding into light, fluffy pieces.

Corn is grown globally and is an essential crop for many countries, especially in the United States, where it is a key agricultural product. Its versatility in both food and non-food products makes it an important crop for both the economy and food security.
