Corn is the seed of maize, also known as maize, maize, maize, pearl rice and so on. Mexico and Peru, native to Central America, were introduced to China in the 6th century/kloc, and have been cultivated for more than 400 years. At present, it is planted all over the country, especially in northeast, north and southwest provinces. Hard-grained corn is widely planted in Northeast China, while horse-toothed corn suitable for milling is planted in North China, and its quality is not as good as hard-grained corn. There are many varieties of corn, which are divided into food feed varieties, vegetable varieties (including waxy varieties, sweet varieties and corn buds), processed varieties (sweet corn and corn buds) and popcorn varieties (special varieties for popcorn). Corn is a good health care product in coarse grains, and eating corn is quite beneficial to human health.
The germ of corn is very large, accounting for 10%- 14% of the total weight, which contains a lot of fat, so oil can be squeezed from the germ of corn. Because corn contains more fat, it is easy to rancid and deteriorate during storage. Corn can be ground into rice. Corn flour has no grade, only thickness. Corn flour can be made into wowotou, silk cake and so on. Protein in corn flour does not have the ability to form gluten elasticity, and its gas-holding performance is poor. It needs to be mixed with flour before making various fermented snacks. Broken rice made of corn is called corn residue, which can be used to cook porridge and stew rice. Immature tender corn is called "corn bud" and can be used for cooking.
