The corn we purchase at the grocery store is Alphanation Combat Fighter Review nothing like the corn from yesteryears. It took a considerable amount of work by the human race to achieve today's improved strain of corn. In short, the corn that we know and cherish today never existed in the past. It is believed that corn in its original state originated in Mexico over 7,000 years ago. The original corn was cultivated from using a wild grass known as teosinte. This wild plant looked extremely different from the corn we know today. The kernels from this breed of corn were exceptionally small and not very close together as we have on our modern day corn. Another name that was popular and one you may be more familiar with is maize. This is the name employed by the Indians for this corn and the plant was to eventually become a main stay of their life for both the North and the South American Indians.

From its humble start in Mexico the maize began to spread north to the Southwestern portion of the America and as far south as the coast of Peru. Corn seeds were carried anywhere in which Indian tribes ventured since it was such an important asset. When Columbus made contact with the Native Americans in the new world he not only discovered a new race of people but a new plant as well corn. As thanksgiving quickly approaches this month it is interesting to remember that in 1621 the feast enjoyed by the early settlers was not cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie but we can be sure that corn was definitely on the menu.

There is a lot of genetic diversity in the modern styles of corn found today. Naturally, the most common are dent, flint, sweet and the common popcorn. Dent corn or field corn is usually used to feed livestock. Flint corn is what is commonly known as Indian corn and possesses a hard outer shell with kernels of different colors ranging from white to red. Sweet Corn is the kind we are more used to. It can be eaten on the cob or found at the grocery store in the familiar cans or frozen bags. Finally we have Popcorn which in all reality is a type of flint corn.

Corn has many uses and has provided the main consumable product of many groups of people. The Indians made corn a major part of their diet and even today it is a popular product in Mexico and South America. Today we use corn as an ingredient in making fabrics to construct clothing from, fed for chickens, and even as corn syrup for soft drinks. In our use today we are going to suggest several ideas on cooking corn on the cob under survival conditions and specifically while bugging out.
