Where was corn meal first made?

Corn meal is made from ground corn. While the exact origin of corn meal is difficult to pinpoint, it's safe to say it originated in the Americas, where corn itself was first domesticated.

Here's why:

* Corn's Origins: Corn (maize) was first domesticated in Mexico, around 9,000 years ago.

* Native American Use: Native American cultures throughout the Americas used corn in various forms, including ground corn for making tortillas, porridge, and other dishes.

* Early European Exposure: When Europeans arrived in the Americas, they encountered these practices and learned how to grind corn into meal.

While the specific place and date of the first corn meal production are unknown, it's clear that the practice arose in the Americas long before European contact.
