Of all the world’s grains, corn is the most important in that more people eat it than any other. Surprisingly, corn comes from common grass, first grown in Mexico more than 6,000 years ago. Corn was originally limited to North and South America until Christopher Columbus took it to Europe in 1492. Today it is grown and eaten in many forms around the world. The top corn producers are the United States, China, Brazil, and Mexico. Corn is very good for our health. Better still, all parts of the corn plant can be used, from the yellow corn kernels for food, alcohol, and biofuel with its tall, thick stalk for animal feed. No wonder corn is considered the most important grain in the world today.
世界上所有的谷物中，玉米是最重要的谷物，因为吃玉米的人要比吃其他谷物的人多。令人惊讶的是，玉米源自普通牧草，这种草早在 6 千多年前墨西哥境内就已被种植了。我们现在知道的玉米原本限于北美及南美洲一带玉米英语，直到 1492 年克里斯多弗‧哥伦布才引进欧洲。如今世界各地都有人种植玉米玉米英语，而且有很多吃法。主要的玉米出产国为美国、中国、巴西和墨西哥。玉米对我们的健康很好。更棒的是，整株玉米都可以使用，从可充当食物、制酒及生物燃料的黄色玉米粒到可当作动物饲料的又高又粗的玉米茎。难怪玉米在今日被认为是最重要的谷物。
