Maize (Zea mays, its Latin name) is an annual crop and belongs to the Poaceae family. Maize is a staple food in many countries of the world and is the third most consumed cereal after wheat and rice. It comes from South America and was the food of the indigenous peoples. Today it is one of the most important crops for the development of the world economy. In recent years, scientific research on a global scale has highlighted the important health benefits of this fruit and its important contribution to our daily diet. Corn is at the base of the food pyramid as it is a rich source of nutrients, phytochemical compounds and fiber. In addition, corn does not contain gluten, which makes it safe for consumption by people suffering from celiac disease and gluten intolerance.
