Corn is even better.
In the USA they eat a lot of Corn
Whole corn off the cob is so much better than rice or wheat which has the germ and bran removed.
I worked in Nigeria on oil refinery for some years on and off The locals are so poor all they eat is corn (too lazy to grow anything else) and they are strong good teeth not fat- living virtually 100% on corn (cobs) generally cooked over a fire and blackened a bit (gorchered mealies they call it)
also white corn not the yellow sweet one
