Fried Corn with Scallions

Maize (/meɪz/MAYZ;  from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahis), also known as corn in North American and Australian English, is a cereal grain first domesticated by Indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences (or “tassels”) and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that when fertilized yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits. The term maize is preferred in formal, scientific, and international usage as the common name because this refers specifically to this one grain whereas corn refers to any principal cereal crop cultivated in a country. For example, in North America and Australia, corn is often used for maize, but in England and Wales it can refer to wheat or barley, and in Scotland and Ireland to oats.

Scallions

Scallions (also known as green and spring onions) are vegetables derived from various species in the genus Allium. These type of onions generally have a milder taste than most onions and their close relatives include garlic, shallot, leek, chive, and Chinese onions.

Although the bulbs of many Allium species are used as food, the defining characteristic of scallion species is that they lack a fully developed bulb. Instead, the Allium species referred to as scallions use hollow, tubular green leaves growing directly from the bulb. These leaves are used as a vegetable and can be eaten raw or cooked. Often the leaves are chopped into other dishes and used as garnishes. (Wikipedia)
