Corn can be used in many ways, natural, in breakfast cereals, porridges, pies, hominy, couscous, polenta, mush and popcorn. There is corn oil which has good grease to the heart, such as polyunsaturated fats, but which can not be heated because with increasing temperature the fat does not do well to the heart.
