Friends, corn is not a vegetable. Itâs not. We are perplexed as to when corn entered the American dietary lexicon as a veggie, because itâs a grain â and a really unhealthy grain at that. Corn is the most sugary, starchy, empty grain there is. Youâre better off with white rice â seriously. (Not that we recommend eating a lot of white rice, because brown rice is higher in fiber and protein.) In fact, we hate corn.
Corn, also known as maize, is the top U.S. crop and the basis of products ranging from breakfast cereal to toothpaste, shoe polish and ethanol. The corn genome is a hodgepodge of some 32,000 genes crammed into just 10 chromosomes. In comparison, humans have 20,000 genes dispersed among 23 chromosomes. The $29.5 million maize sequencing project began in 2005 and is funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. departments of agriculture and energy.
