Dent Corn For Livestock Feed Or Background

Yellow dent corn (field corn), is a corn variety with a high soft starch content. It received its name because of the small indentation (dent) at the crown of the kernels. Dent corn is the variety used in food manufacturing as the base ingredient for cornmeal flour (used in the baking of cornbread), corn chips, tortillas and taco shells. Starch derived from this high-starch content variety is turned into plastics, as well as fructose which is used as a sweetener (high-fructose corn syrup) in many processed foods and soft drinks.
