Maize or corn is a cereal crop that is grown widely throughout the world in a range of agroecological environments. The maize is produced through subsistence farming as part of mixed agricultural systems which lack inputs such as fertiliser, irrigation, improved seeds and efficient labor.
It is rich in all the minerals your body needs, including selenium which is often hard to find in other food sources. Corn is known for its ability to help prevent cancer as it is rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and phytochemicals. It can protect your heart because it lowers the amount of bad cholesterol in your blood stream.
