Corn, too, even though corn is harsh on the soil.

Corn comes from yet another agricultural development center in Mexico.

It arrives a bit later than many other vegetables typical of the Americas, but that's because the primary grain may have resulted from a "cross" between dissimilar species. Corn's discovery had to await it's creation by nature!

I think the guys who did corn also did amaranth (used extensively by the Aztecs).
