Description
How many kernels are on an ear of corn? What’s an origin myth? What part of the world did corn originate? This week on Time For Lunch, Hannah and Harry learn all about a delicious vegetable that defines summer: corn! With the help of illustrator Luis Garay we learn about the ancient Mayan’s origin myth. The Mayans once ruled much of Central America, which is where corn or maíz, as it’s called in Spanish, was first grown and where it still plays an important role. Plus, chef and corn enthusiast Zarela Martínez teaches us a simple recipe for Esquites (also known as Mexican Street Corn or elote). As always, we’ve got corny jokes and lots of fun facts.
