One of the most important plants in the tradition and history of Latin America is corn. Also known as elote, it is a plant native to the Americas and was introduced in Europe in the 16th century by the conquistadors.
Its easy availability and versatility allow for the concoction of a variety of traditional Latin dishes — both savory and yes — even sweet.
