Indian corn, otherwise known as flint corn, is a colorful variety of decorative corn that is associated with fall. You see it on a nice Thanksgiving table as part of a centerpiece, on the mantel over a nice fire, in wreaths at the decor store, or wherever the corn can be fit in for a warm accent. 

What does it look like?

Indian corn is known for being multicolored. Different kernels on the same cob may have different colors, the most common of which are orange, yellow, brown, red, and navy. Indian corn is typically smaller than the type of corn you buy at the store, with a diameter of one inch and a length of 8-12 inches. The stalks themselves can grow 4-5 feet.

Where is it from?

Indian corn is, in fact, a variation of the maize plant. The maize plant doesn't occur naturally in the wild. Rather, it was domesticated thousands of years ago by indigenous Mexicans. The ancestor of corn is a wild grass called Balsas teosinte. As the grass was bred for better seed yields, then later, better kernel yields, the vegetable we know as corn came to exist. Indian corn specifically is an early variation, used for milling and storage.

What can I use it for?

When people see Indian corn, they typically think decor. But, did you know that it can be eaten, too? The other term for it is flint corn, which refers to the fact that the kernels of these ears are incredibly hard - like flints. Due to the nature of the kernels, this is not a corn to be eaten on the cob, or to be cooked as sweet corn. The kernels consist of soft starch surrounded by a shell of hard starch.

If you're going to cook your Indian corn, you have a few methods. The hard, starchy, kernels are good to make cornmeal out of. From the larger hunks out of the grinding process, you can make good grits or polenta. The finer cornmeal can go into cornbread, corn muffins, or corn tortillas. The kernels are already dry, but you will want to dry them more before grinding.

Corn can also be popped on the cob! Try buttering the cob before putting it in a brown paper bag, and into the microwave. As a baseline, try 50% power for four minutes. Microwaves vary, however, so you might want to experiment with different times and power levels if you have a high yield.

To get the kernels off of the ear, you will likely want to use a corn sheller. However, if you don't have a corn sheller, you can use a sharp knife to cut near the cob, down the length of the ear. 

Naturally, Indian corn is also decorative. The dry and hard starchy properties of the kernel make it easy to dry before tucking into a cornucopia, adding to a wreath, or even simply setting on your side table. The pretty, multi-colored cobs could also be part of a fall gift!

What are some decor ideas?

One simple centerpiece you could make involves dried corn and dried wheat. Find a color scheme from the corn that you've grown, and set them on a bed of dried wheat, held in place by floral foam. Perhaps you could add some fall flowers to the display, or small gourds around it.

If you're hosting a dinner and have some cloth napkins, you could find some orange ribbon and tie corn into the napkin for a place setting. If you're feeling extra rustic, you could use some twine, or a thin rope.

Sowing The Seed

Corn isn’t fond of being transplanted, so it is best sown directly in the garden, when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Begin by tilling the sowing area, removing all unwanted plant life and weeds. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2” to 1” under topsoil. Check below for spacing.

Growing Conditions

Corn is a sun loving crop that prefers warmer temperatures of 65F or higher. The plants are picky when it comes to soil conditions, and will grow best in a medium that is nitrogen rich and loamy. You will also need to make sure that the sowing area is well drained. To improve drainage, we always recommend adding a light compost to any areas containing hard, compact soil. Water the seeds daily until germination.

Germination & Growth

Corn will typically take anywhere between 7 to 14 days to germinate, if optimal conditions are met. The plants can grow to a towering, 7 feet tall and can spread about 18 inches wide. Corn can be spaced 12 to 15 inches apart from one another, in rows that are spaced about 30 to 36 inches apart.

Great Teething Toy for an Active Puppy
Our 6-month-old Goldendoodle has really enjoyed chewing on these rings. They’ve been especially helpful while she’s been teething, and so far she hasn’t made a dent in them, which is impressive given how much she chews. There’s clearly some sort of flavor or scent on the toy that makes it especially attractive to her, so it keeps her engaged much longer than some other chew toys we’ve tried. The rings feel durable, well made, and are a great way to keep an active puppy occupied. Highly recommend for teething puppies or dogs that are aggressive chewers.

Super hard plastic
This might be okay for big dogs but my little dogs are not interested at all. I’ve heard if you can’t make an indentation w/ your thumb nail, it’s too hard and your dog could chip or break a tooth…

My aggressive chewer had it roughed up in about 10 minutes, and she lost interest.
Both of my dogs were interested in these right away and started playing with them as soon as I gave them to them. After the first day though, they lost interest. They’ve had them for a couple of weeks now and I can’t really get them to go back to them. These aren’t squeaky toys, which is usually what they prefer, so that may be part of it. The size is decent and works for both of my dogs. My smaller dog isn’t much of an aggressive chewer, but she did chew on it some. My bigger dog is an aggressive chewer (about 85 lbs), and she had this one roughed up pretty quickly. After about 10 minutes, it already had some sharp, jagged edges. That makes me a little concerned about safety since it could scratch her mouth. As far as chew resistance and durability, it didn’t hold up the way I expected for something advertised for aggressive chewers. For value, it’s not the best considering how quickly it wore down and the lack of continued interest from my dogs.

Tough, Engaging Chew Toys That Keep Dogs Busy and Happy
If you’ve got a strong chewer at home, this 2-pack dog ring toy set is a solid choice. It’s designed with durability and engagement in mind, and it really delivers on both. Top Highlights One of the best things about this set is the variety. With two ring-shaped toys featuring different grip angles, dogs get a more dynamic chewing experience. It’s great for single-dog homes to keep things interesting, and even better for multi-dog households since it helps prevent toy-related squabbles. The nylon construction is impressively tough. These toys are clearly built for aggressive chewers and hold up well against repeated use. The ring-shaped block design is easy for dogs to पकड़ and chew, and the added bacon flavor is a big win—it grabs their attention immediately and keeps them coming back. Sizing is well thought out too. These toys are ideal for dogs in the 20–60 lb range, but they’re sturdy enough to handle even stronger chewers on the higher end. They also work nicely for teething puppies, offering relief while encouraging proper chewing habits. Another big benefit is how long they keep dogs occupied. These are the kind of toys that can save your furniture and shoes from destruction by giving your dog a better outlet for their energy. Longer chew time means more mental stimulation for them—and a little more peace and quiet for you. They also double as dental support. The textured surface helps clean teeth and massage gums, turning playtime into something beneficial for your dog’s overall health. Final Thoughts This is a reliable, well-designed chew toy set that balances durability, fun, and functionality. Whether you’re dealing with an aggressive chewer or just want a long-lasting toy that supports healthy habits, this pack is a great investment for both you and your dog.
