Corn was first harvested in Mexico more than 10 thousand years ago. The ancient civilizations of Meso America considered the grain itself a diety. Images of corn appear in their mural and stone carvings. Today corn is still the most basic part of the Mexican diet. Both rich and poor Mexicans eat several corn tortillas a day.
