Common card · No. 325411

Corn kernels are the fruits of maize (also known as corn). Maize is a grain, and the kernels are used in cooking as a vegetable or a source of starch. A kernel comprises endosperm, germ, pericarp, and tip cap. One ear of corn contains roughly 800 kernels in 16 rows. Corn kernels are readily available in bulk throughout maize-producing areas. They have a number of uses, including food and biofuel.
