Rethinking the History of Maize – Maíz, regalo de los dioses @ Online Event

Tickets

Sep 29 @ 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Domesticated by early farmers around 9000 years ago, it has evolved into tasty, tender corn that was carried on to other parts of the Americas. By the time of the European colonization, corn was a major food source through many parts of the region and it was then adopted by the world as part of a universal diet. A gift from the Americas to the world, we will cover the history, the impact, and the many ways this plant has made its way along the centuries.

Cultivado por más de 9000 años el maíz ha evolucionado su sabor y textura, siendo usado en muchas partes de América. Para la época de la colonización, el maíz era la base de la alimentación que más tarde fue adoptada por el resto del mundo y ahora hace parte de la dieta universal. ¡Un regalo desde las Américas para el mundo! Aquí cubriremos su historia, impacto e interpretación durante todos estos años.
