What about all of the other varieties of corn? Are they not relatives to each other?
Look, if you keep asking questions, we're never going to get these crappy corn husk crafts finished.
They're called tamales!
I just watched the Good Eats episode about corn so I can answer this: Yes, popcorn, hard corn, and sweet corn are all related to each other.
What about candy corn?
It's a candy grass.
Corn syrup.
It's to be thrown back at the asshole who gave you candy corn.
I knew of popcorn and sweet corn, but what is hard corn used for today? Animal feed?
A lot is used for animal feed, but we eat it in corn flakes, corn tortillas, and cornbread, plus it's where they get corn syrup which is in damn near everything. It's also processed into ethanol for both fuel and bourbon.
The most important use of all.
The cause and relief from all our problems.......
And the most useful!
I'm about to use it.
You forgot degradable packing peanuts. Turns out you can modify Cheetos(tm) enough they become viable for packing items for shipment.
All corn varieties are all the same species.
Domesticated corn can also still cross freely with the wild teosinte.
All the corn we eat is basically the same, this is referring to the original ancestor to all of them
