Flint corn

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.〔(jugalbandi.info ) Indian Corn〕 Because each kernel has a hard outer layer to protect the soft endosperm, it is likened to being hard as flint; hence the name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seeds of Change Garden )
==History==
With less soft starch than dent corn (''Zea mays indentata''), flint corn does not have the dents in each kernel from which dent corn gets its name.〔(nmsu.edu ) Blue Corn Unique to American Southwest〕 This is one of the three types of corn cultivated by Native Americans, both in New England and across the northern tier, including by tribes such as the Pawnee on the Great Plains. Archeologists have found evidence of such corn cultivation by the Pawnee and others before 1000 BC.〔(), Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1965; reprint 1977, pp. 4–8, accessed 16 Dec 2009〕 Cultivation of corn occurred hundreds of years earlier among the Mississippian culture people, whose civilization arose based on population density and trade because of surplus corn crops.
