Maize, or corn, is grown all over the globe. But it wasn’t always this way. This plant has its origins in southern modern-day Mexico, with its parents being teosinte and tripsacum. But the off-spring of these two parent plants was quite different than the maize we know and love today, much different. In this episode we take a brief look at how maize we know today became what it is. And of course, the Andes have their role to play.
