## About <!--about-->
Maize (Zea mays), also known as corn, is a tall grass that produces cereal grain; it was domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 9,000 years ago from wild teosinte.[^wikipedia-maize] Since the Columbian exchange it has become a staple food in many parts of the world, and its total production now surpasses that of wheat and rice.[^wikipedia-maize] It is the first ingredient of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, printed as Mais, majs, maissi and maïs on the multilingual European carton.[^pack]
