The Mexican Indians, (at one time the only Native Americans in North America), took a 4 row grass and hybridized it into something that is similar in nature to what we recognize as corn today. Not only that but they developed a process by which the nutrients in the corn could be converted into a form more readily assimilated by the human body. The process is called nixtamalization. Dried corn is processed this way before being ground for tortilla or tamale making or for use in a dish such as pozole.
