It is a domesticated form of a native American grass, which may have been cultivated as early as 5000 BC by the ancestors of the Mayan and Aztec Indians, who bred it over centuries to become the plant we know today. Because of its fundamental role in society, it was invested with great cultural significance in their creation myths, and other legends and rituals. It is so hardy and productive that after Europeans reached America, its cultivation quickly spread round the world. It is now grown in most countries and is the third largest crop after wheat and rice. Corn is a basic ingredient in many traditional Latin American foods, such as tortillas, tamales and arepas and in drinks such as atole and chicha.* * *m corn, Brmaize* * *maíz nm: corn, maize* * *maíz n1.
