Corn is sweet, juicy and very versatile, but did you know that is it classified as both a grain and a vegetable depending on how it is eaten. We recognize it in corn chips, corn tortillas, polenta and popcorn. It is believed to have originated in Mexico, but now it is available all around the world.
