Why is choclo so grande?

Why is choclo so big????? This is the question I have been asking myself ever since I arrived in Huaycan two weeks ago. Choclo is the name for the corn that they have here….if you can even call it corn. This is no ordinary ear of corn like one that you would see in the supermarkets. The kernels on this corn are the size of a penny or larger. I have done a considerable amount of research on the web without any successful leads. If anyone has an idea of how the corn here has become so big, I would appreciate some information. Luz’s explanation of “big seeds” has not cured my curiosity in this matter.
