7 Fruits And Veggies That Have Been Completely Transformed Over The Past Centuries

Corn

The evolution of corn began with a small plant. The Mexican species of wild grass had only a few grains that fit on a thin spikelet. They were hidden behind a thick, hard shell, making them extremely difficult to extract. The original corn is believed to resemble dry raw potatoes. Centuries of farming and selective pollination have resulted in the corn growing bigger, softer, and four times sweeter.
