Corn

Corn is easily adapted to a wide range of climates and is now grown almost everywhere in the world - in countries with warm summers. Maize grows best and produces the highest yields in fertile, moist soil that is permeable to water and air. Maize seeds are best sown in a sheltered spot, protected from the wind.

Maize grains are eaten fresh, cooked, frozen or canned, and maize stalks and leaves make excellent animal feed. Corn nuts are rich in vitamins A and C, vitamins D and B, as well as potassium, calcium and iron. Corn is an excellent source of selenium, which is why this vegetable is believed to prevent the ageing process. It also contains a substance that lowers blood cholesterol levels and can be used as a preventive measure against high blood sugar.
