This soft staple fiber from the bolls of the cotton plant has been cultivated since about 3000 BC in the Indus Valley - part of modern-day India and Pakistan - and as early as 5000 years ago in the Americas. Ancient cultures spun cotton to make fine garments and textiles. Wild, uncultivated cotton has been found in Australia, Africa, Arizona, Central America, California, Brazil, and Mexico - and through breeding and selection, wild cotton plants were developed into the processing-friendly varieties grown today.
