About Irumbu Cholam:

Maize also called as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago.

The leafy stalk of the plant produces separate pollen and ovuliferous inflorescences or ears, which are fruits, yielding kernels or seeds.

Maize has become a staple food in many regions of the world, with total production exceeding that of wheat or rice.

However, not all of this maize is consumed directly by humans. Some of the maize production is used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup.

The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.
