3 Corn-based products you can include in your Mexican products section.

Today, we will talk about 3 corn-based products that you can include in your Mexican products section.

Maize (or Corn) was domesticated from wild grass about 9000 years ago in the Balsas region of southwest Mexico and became the basis of the diet and was the most revered crop of Mexico’s ancient Mayan, Aztec and Olmec civilizations. There are many species, different grain shapes, sizes, colors, and textures as well.

Eventually, maize spread out from Mexico, probably by the diffusion of seeds along with trade networks, and nowadays is the most important crop worldwide.

Here are three favorite corn-based Mexican products:
