Maize is the most important crop in Mexico. White grain corn is mainly used for the manufacture of traditional tortillas and tamales, but it can also obtain oil and supplies for the manufacture of varnishes, paints, artificial rubbers and soaps.
The corn that we commercialize nationally and internationally is of the state of Sinaloa, which stands out due to its great quality and that is a product that is not genetically modified, making it fit for human consumption.
Sorghum is a plant native of India and one of the main crops in Mexico. Most grain sorghum is used in the preparation of animal feed. Also sorghum flour is made, alone or in compound flours for the manufacture of cookies, alfajores and breads. In the extractive industry it is used mainly for the production of starch and glucose, in addition to obtaining three important solvents: alcohol, acetone and butanol.
In Mexico, bean is the most used garnish to accompany different foods. It is also an important source of protein, which is grown in almost all of the national territory. Bean sowing requires the farmer to prepare the soil with one or two dredge passes in order to undo lumps, match the soil to avoid waterlogging, and remove the soil to a depth of twenty to thirty centimeters. Sowing is done by hand or machine. The beans are deposited at a depth of two to four centimeters with sufficient moisture to ensure germination.
The origin of the chickpea crop is located in the southwest of Turkey. From there it spread very soon to Europe (especially the Mediterranean region) and later to Africa (mainly Ethiopia), America (especially Mexico,Argentina and Chile) and Australia. 40 species of chickpeas have been found to be spread from the Middle East, Turkey, Israel and Central Asia.
Since the beginning of civilization, wheat is one of the most important cereals in human food. In general it is not consumed directly; is used in the elaboration Especially in the baking industry, as well as in the manufacture of pastries, biscuits, beverages and even in the production of fuels. There are five varieties of wheat; Four of them can be used for bread making, the fifth is crystalline the type most use for pasta.
Sugar, also known as sucrose, is the sweetener par excellence used in human consumption. Sucrose is produced in some plants through photosynthesis, this sucrose is extracted and processed into a fine crystalline powder, colorless and with a sweet taste. The sugar that is usually consumed is produced from cane or beet juice, then the fiber and proteins are eliminated, and later it is bleached and crystallized until obtaining the commercial product called sugar.
Rice is one of the most consumed cereals on the entire planet. In some Asian countries, in fact, it is the main food product. Gluten, lysine, and starch are some of the substances present in the grains. According to the size of the grain, it is possible to distinguish between short grain rice (used in the preparation of sushi), medium grain rice (used in Spanish paellas) and long grain rice (popular in the United States, India and China).
Seed is a strategic input that is obligatorily used in the production of basic grains. The improved varieties of corn used by farmers have contributed substantially to the improvement of grain production and productivity.
