Background Research

The process of corn being made is really quite simple all you have to do is find corn kernel plant in the ground and with the right amount of care out of the ground will sprout a corn stalk. then slowly but surely the cob of corn will slowly sprout then the kernel will follow.

This is a natural process. even though it can be chemically altered. main components are starch,fiber and protein.
