grin grin See as the maize dey bleed.


Anyway, it is called FLINT CORN.


Flint corn is named for its hard kernels, which come in a multitude of colours.


Scientific classification

Kingdom: Plantae

Superdivision: Spermatophytes

Division: Magnoliophyta

Subdivision: Mesangiospermae

Class: Monocotyledons

Order: Poales

Family: Poaceae

Subfamily: Panicoideae

(unranked): Andropogonodae

Tribe: Maydeae

Genus: Zea

Species: Z. mays

Variety: var. indurata

Trinomial name

Zea mays var. indurata

Flint corn (Zea mays indurata; also known as Indian corn or sometimes calico corn) is a variant of maize (var. Linnaeus), the same species as common corn.[1]

Because each kernel has a hard outer layer to protect the soft endosperm, it is likened to being hard as flint; hence the name.[2]
