Fun Facts

Corn is a seed, but it can't propagate itself. There are no wild corn plants, and the species is a human bred hybrid. The USA accounts for 43% of the world crop. Australia has about 0.6% of the world crop.

Its kernels have a hard moisture sealed hull and a dense starchy interior. When heat is applied the pressure builds inside the kernel until an explosive "pop" results 

Corn was domesticated 9000 years ago. Some archaeologists discovered in Mexico in a site dating back to 3600 BCE that it was already used as a snack at this time.
