Mealie is the South African term for corn, usually referring to sweet corn. Field mealie is planted in the spring in temperate zones and is water efficient, meaning that its shallow roots allow water absorption more easily than other types of small grains. With very little maintenance, mealie is harvested typically between late summer and mid-autumn. Then it is turned into mealie-meal or flour to create a base that is the main staple of the diet in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
