Corn Seeds for Popcorn

Corn Seeds for Popcorn (Zea mays)

   Columbus 'discovered it when he landed in San Salvador. A key element in the diet of native Americans, corn was spread from Spain initially, all over the world. Since then it has been consumed fearlessly in large quantities in the form of attractive flakes without the fear of calories, since a bowl of homemade popcorn without butter or oil contains no more than 90 to 110.
   The product, which is a productive variety of sweet corn, with a seed consisting of hard and small seed, does not present any particular difficulty in its cultivation. It is harvested from the beginning of the summer to the end of autumn. Available in a 4g packet.

  After Christophorus Columbus transferred the first seeds to Spain, the corn settled on the Iberian peninsula to pass through the Portuguese trade routes across the globe. The corn growing zone is now very wide, located from 40⁰ degrees South to 58⁰ North latitude and occurring at altitudes ranging from sea level to 3,800-4,000m.
  The systematic cultivation of corn in Greece dates back to the 19th century. Its nutritional value falls short of other cereals, although in many countries, particularly Latin America, it is a basic nutritional asset. Cultivated for the production of seeds and green grass. Corn flour is used for bread and bakery products, confectionery and brewing, and exported starch in the baby food industry.
