Also known as "Flint Corn" due to its exceptionally hard kernel, Indian Corn has been a staple crop for thousands of years since the Native Americans first cultivated it. Flint corn has a naturally low water content and as such is highly resistant to freezing. Its uses - particularly in the Americas where is is naturally "from" - include:
- Popcorn - real popping corn (because not just ANY corn is good popping corn) is a variant of typical flint corn.
- Feed - like field corn, flint/Indian corn may be used as animal feed.
- Hominy - Indian corn is the preferred variety for the hominy produced in Central and South America, where the variety is most prevalent
- Decorations - Because of their durability when dried and colorful kernals, Indian Corn has traditionally been the most popular for harvest-time decorations throughout the US, particularly around Thanksgiving.
