Corn was domesticated in Mesoamerica some 9,000 years ago and has been a staple crop for cultures since. Today, it’s the third largest food crop in the world behind wheat and rice. In the U.S. though, livestock eats more corn than people do. We think that’s pretty silly.
Don’t be afraid to toss the container of corn in the freezer if you feel like you won’t be able to get around to cooking with it. You’ll be happy to have it in a couple months when you’re missing summer.
