Trivia: Most corn grown in the U.S. is which type?
Flint
Popcorn
Sweet
Dent
The correct answer is Dent
So why is this answer correct? : Sweet corn, the kind often purchased from grocery stores, accounts for less than 1% of the corn grown in the United States. In fact, most American-grown corn is yellow dent corn, named for its dimpled kernels at the time of harvest. Dent corn is used in consumer goods like chips, cereal, corn syrups, and corn oil, or given to livestock as feed. Thanks to the many uses for corn, and ample growing locations in the U.S., corn is America’s most-produced crop.
