Export regions

Indian corn, also called maize, is an American grain that grows in tightly packed rows on a cob. Shelled and dried, the kernels can be stored, shipped and ground into meal.

They make porridges and other everyday foods. In Virginia, English settlers rely at times on trade with Indigenous communities for this essential provision. American growers supply both the crop and the knowledge needed to cultivate it. By the time it reaches the hold, the grain is ready to be kept or milled.
