Origin
Maize was brought to South America from its natural home in Central America. Evidence has been found of Peruvian maize cultivation dating back 6,700 years. The crop was bred to produce larger, more nutritious ears. Christopher Columbus brought the maize plant back to Europe, where sweetcorn quickly became a nutritious staple food. Maize is the most widely cultivated crop in America. Sweet Lov is grown from specially selected seeds that produce crunchy sprouts with a fresh, bittersweet taste.
