A Message from Garcia:  Corn Patties Part One

Biologists and Anthropologists say that corn was developed about nine thousand years ago in Mexico and South America. The seed and its technology traveled to Mesoamerica to the Aztec and Maya, then to Nouth America within a short period of time. The rest of the known world had no knowledge of this food plant. This all changed in 1492 when Colombus found corn cultivated in the Caribbean Islands and brought it back to Spain and Portugal. Corn spread worldwide to the European continent and the British Isles. The Middle Eastern countries, Asia and India. The whole world stated to grow Corn in some areas replacing cereal grains. Today most American farmers have little knowledge of the origin of Corn.
