American corn grown commercially isn’t ‘Sweet corn’ which is what you grow in a garden for eating. Commercial corn is a lot tougher of a kernel and doesn’t taste as good, and is meant for animal grain and corn syrup. It’s also dried completely out until it’s a dehydrated grain, rather than being picked fresh.
Its important to note that its not a recent invention either. Native Americans grew mostly flour type corns. We wouldn’t have corn tortilla without it. Non sweet corn/Maize has always been more important than the sweet variety because it lasts a long time as a grain. And finally sweet corn wouldn’t even exist if humans hadnt domesticated the early maize grain.
