Corn originated in the Americas. In the autumn, we see a type of corn called "Indian corn" but really all corn -- some 250 kinds of it -- is "Indian."
Called maize in many languages, corn was first cultivated in the area of Mexico more than 7,000 years ago, and spread throughout North and South America. Native Americans probably bred the first corn from wild grasses, and crossed high-yielding plants to make hybrids. At the right are three varieties of Lenape corn: Delaware "black" (or blue) corn, Grandmother corn, and white flour corn. Old varieties of corn typically had small ears, with 8 or 10 rows.
Native Americans, including the Lenape of the Delaware Valley, used corn for many types of food. The foods which we know were derived from corn in the Iroquois nations include dumplings, tamales, hominy, and a ceremonial "wedding cake" bread.
Today, corn has become the most widely grown crop in the western hemisphere. It is a staple in Latin American diets, and in the United States alone, corn has given rise to regional specialties as grits, hush puppies, ashcakes, dodgers, muffins, cracklin' bread, johnny cakes, and corn pone. (The word pone is derived from an Algonquian word, and is related to the Delaware word for "baked," apan.)
Native Americans also used corn for other purposes, such as mattresses, containers, and toys.
