Description
Indian Corn,
That's all I've ever known these ears as. That is until I started doing an internet search to learn more about these colorful ears of corn.
Growing up in the Midwest these colorful ears of corn adorned many of houses that I hung out in. Little did I know what a staple this was and how hardy this plant is, especially when it's compared to the white and yellow corn that most of us grew up eating.
Indian corn is also known as maze or flint corn. Flint as in a hard exterior. The kernels outside casing is much harder than the yellow or white corn and can damage your teeth if you try to bite into it. This corn is often ground down to made into hominy.
The corn is widely found in New England states and the northern parts of the United States. I was actually surprised to find it at Larry's Produce in Fairfield California.
