   "Maize was the staple food, or a major staple – along with squash,   
   Andean region potato, quinoa, beans, and amaranth – of most   
   pre-Columbian North American, Mesoamerican, South American, and   
   Caribbean cultures."   
      
   "Maize can also be prepared as hominy, in which the kernels are soaked   
   with lye in a process called nixtamalization; or grits, which are   
   coarsely ground hominy. These are commonly eaten in the Southeastern   
   United States,    ~~foods handed down from Native Americans, ~~   
   who called the dish sagamite."   
      
   Just sayin'.
