Species
Zea mays
Variety
Zea mays var. indurata
Flint corn (Zea mays var. indurata; also known as Indian corn or sometimes calico corn) is a variant of maize, 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]
The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.[3]
