\nS\u00edlvia Vall\u00e8s Pi comparte una fotograf\u00eda en Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia que nos invita a reflexionar en torno \u201cal ma\u00edz y a la harina, que constituyen uno de los alimentos b\u00e1sicos en muchas regiones del mundo\u201d.
\nDe hecho, todo ello habr\u00eda que agradec\u00e9rselo a los pueblos ind\u00edgenas, que fueron los primeros en cultivarlo. Efectivamente, el ma\u00edz es una gram\u00ednea anual originaria y domesticada por los pueblos ind\u00edgenas en el centro de M\u00e9xico desde hace unos diez mil a\u00f1os, introducida en Europa en el siglo XVII.
\nLos ind\u00edgenas ta\u00ednos del Caribe denominaban a esta planta mah\u00eds, que significa literalmente \u2018lo que sustenta la vida\u2019. \u200bActualmente, es el cereal con el mayor volumen de producci\u00f3n a nivel mundial, superando incluso al trigo y al arroz.
\nLa mayor\u00eda de historiadores creen que la domesticaci\u00f3n del ma\u00edz se llev\u00f3 a cabo en los valles de Tehuac\u00e1n (Puebla) y Oaxaca, en el denominado Eje Neovolc\u00e1nico.\u200b El antrop\u00f3logo norteamericano Richard Stockton MacNeish encontr\u00f3 restos arqueol\u00f3gicos de plantas de ma\u00edz en el Municipio de Coxcatl\u00e1n en el valle de Tehuac\u00e1n, que \u2014se estima\u2014 datan de hasta hace diez mil a\u00f1os.
\nEn las galer\u00edas de las pir\u00e1mides todav\u00eda se pueden observar pinturas, grabados y esculturas que representan al ma\u00edz.\u200b Los olmecas y los mayas cultivaban numerosas variedades de ma\u00edz a lo largo de Mesoam\u00e9rica y lo preparaban cocinado, molido o procesado a trav\u00e9s de la nixtamalizaci\u00f3n.
\nEl ma\u00edz se extendi\u00f3 al resto del mundo, debido a su capacidad de crecer en climas diversos. Las variedades ricas en az\u00facar, llamadas ma\u00edz dulce se cultivan generalmente para el consumo humano como granos, mientras que las variedades de ma\u00edz de campo se utilizan para la alimentaci\u00f3n animal, la elaboraci\u00f3n de derivados para alimentaci\u00f3n humana (harina, masa, aceite y, mediante fermentaci\u00f3n, bebidas alcoh\u00f3licas como el whisky bourbon) y la obtenci\u00f3n de productos qu\u00edmicos como el almid\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
