Is Corn a Grain, Vegetable, or Fruit? The Answer Is D, All of the Above

I disagree. The human digestive system was not designed for grains. I will not eat raw grains or fruits. Raw apples are bad for you.

Its a dilly of a pickle of a problem...
I bought a dozen ears of corn on my way home from work one day, from a local farm. Fresh picked within the last couple of hours.
I was so hungry I just opened one and started eating it... I’ve been eating it that way ever since.

Lol. Well my dear abuelita was far from haughty nor had teeth problems. After 65 years of a cultural view of a food, then moving to the US - well, she had plenty of other cultural changes to take on. If she didn’t want corn, so be it.

Maybe chew a little better before swallowing? :-)
As a T2 diabetic I avoid corn and rice like the plague. Rises blood sugar and hangs there worse than sugar.
News anchors can’t stop laughing when discussing this topic. Priceless video!
I was taught the French also consider corn to be pig food.
“We call it maize.”
big damn difference in field corn, maize and sweetcorn
Both of my farmer grandparents grew corn and ate it often. Both lived into their 90s.
Admiral Halsey was scheduled to meet with the Fleet commander of the Australian Navy, aboard the Aussie Flagship. The Mess command radioed to Halsey's Ship to ask what foods the Admiral preferred. The return message was that he liked corn on the cob. To the Aussies corn on the cob is cattle feed, so they didn't know how to prepre it. They put corn in a huge pot and began to boil it. After around half na hour they pulled a cob and tried it. 'Too tough still'. They boiled that corn until you could cut right throught the cob with a butter knife ... and they actually served it at the Admiral's Mess!
I live fresh corn on the cob
So what?? They eat snails
