What Aztec food similar to a tortilla?
Tlaxcallis is the Aztec name and they are a little different than the usual tortilla. Tlaxcallis are made from ground fresh corn rather than corn meal. They come out thicker and sweeter than a modern tortilla. They are still made in Mexico.
How Are Corn Nuts Made?
Corn nuts are made from real live corn. The corn nut company simply just grow and purchase extremely large corn kernels for the corn nuts. They then fry them in one hundred percent natural vegatable oil. The corn nuts also grow in size when fryed that is why they are larger than normal corn kernels on the corn on a cob. If you buy a package of orignal corn nuts and read the ingredients it says exactly that just oil and corn kernels!!!
Can you use corn flour instead of plain flour in falafels?
I have never made falafels, however I would not suggest trying to use corn flour for flour as corn flour is not flour at all, but basically corn meal and the consistency and flavor will be nothing alike.Corn Flour refers to corn meal that is ground at a much finer consistency than corn meal that is used to make cornbread, etc. Plain four is made for Wheat that is ground and then processed.Never the less, corn flour is made from corn, flour is made from wheat.

Why do we know more about the Aztecs than the olmecs or Mayas?
We know more about the Aztecs than the Olmecs and Mayas because the Aztec civilization flourished later in history, during the 14th to 16th centuries, coinciding with European exploration and documentation. The Olmecs and Mayas, on the other hand, were earlier civilizations, with the Olmecs dating back to around 1200 BCE and the Mayas reaching their peak between 250-900 CE, leaving less direct historical records for us to study.

Is there any difference between corn syrup and corn flour?
Yes, corn syrup is a sweet liquid - it's the same as glucose syrup. Whereas cornflour is a white powder (used for thickening sauces), and is not sweet in the same way that corn syrup is. Corn syrup is entirely sugar based (like molasses), whereas corn flour is a flour. Corn syrup and corn flour are not interchangable, (in the same way that you would not substitute honey for wheatflour).
Which country produces the most corn?
The US is the biggest producer of corn. To an almost excessive level. Our government actually subsidizes corn farmers to grow more than we need so we have a surplus of corn to trade. Corn actually can be made into a whole bunch of other things including many artificial flavorings and additives to food. High fructose corn syrup is a byproduct of corn and is generally cheaper than sugar to put in food. That's why it's everywhere. So to answer your question the U.S grows the most by far.
