Description
Corn is native to South America (Mexico and Guatemala). At one time the seeds of this grass were harvested in the wild by native Indians, but the first signs of a cultivated crop date back as far as 12,000 years ago. For the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas, corn was a sacred plant. Corn is rich in carbohydrates, which are easily converted into sugars in the body.
Unlike wheat, corn is also free of gluten: proteins that the body has difficulty processing. Together with wheat syrup, corn syrup is an excellent sweetener, which, due to its origin from grains, is also rich in long sugars that are more gradually assimilated by the body. Those who take in these long sugars regularly and in advance (think of the spaghetti breakfast of cyclists) can count on a balanced energy supply during their activities. Cereal syrups are more beneficial than sucrose (cane and beet sugar) with regard to heart and blood vessels, obesity, caries, decalcification and better maintain a good mineral balance in the body.
