Corn is a GRAIN, not a vegetable.
Technically, corn is not a vegetable, but a grain native to the Americas. Aztecs, Mayans, Incas and North American tribes cultivated maize many years before the Pilgrims arrived. One of the greatest gifts the Indians gave to the settlers of Colonial America was the ability to cultivate corn. Since it grew well in poor soil and needed little skill to cultivate, corn quickly became a staple crop of the colonists.
