@museumofscience: How did corn transform from the ancestral teosinte, which has small hard cornels, into the popular and juicy staple we know today? @Alex Dainis 🧬🔬explains how 10,000 years ago, humans begin picking seeds from the tastiest teosinte plants to grow, thereby selecting plants with small genetic mutations to carry on over centuries, and eventually become corn. #c#cornT#Thanksgivingf#foods#scienceg#geneticsd#didyouknow
All these non-GMO-only folks need to go back to teosinte and stop eating any of my modern corn.

corn is mentioned in the Bible that was written 3500 years ago. Was that the same item?

I teach AP bio and it always blows my students minds when I tell them that broccoli , kale, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussel Sprouts all come from the same plant but are selectively breed for specific

As a mexican, I knew this 😊 Also the nixtamilación process made it easier to digest so the nutrients can be better used by the body like other grains. Now we have corn flour, tortillas, tamales, etc.
