Candy corn

A tall cereal plant consisting of strong jointed stems supporting large ears containing kernels. The most common varieties are considered to be dent corn, sweet corn, popcorn, decorative corn, and baby corn. Dent corn, also known as field corn, is primarily used for livestock feed and some commercial applications such as plastics, beverages, adhesives, fuel additives, and other non-edible manufactured products. This variety is low in sugar content and high in starch with kernels that are very firm. Sweet corn and popcorn are the varieties best suited for human consumption.
