About Corn grain

Corn grain refers to the mature, dried kernels of maize, separated from the cob. Kernels vary in colour and size by type, and the dry grain is firm and hard. This form is distinct from fresh sweet corn and from milled products such as cornmeal or grits.

Whole kernels can be cooked after soaking or grinding, and dried grain is also milled or otherwise processed for food. Culinary uses vary by regional tradition and by the corn variety and processing. The record does not specify a particular colour, variety, or preparation.
