Rainbow Corn

Description:

Rainbow , also known as Flint corn or sometimes calico corn is a variant of maize, the same species as common 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.  The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.
