maize germ


Explanation:
isn't it?

Maize Germ

This is a valuable by-product being rich in oil. It has a pleasant nutty taste when fresh but can quickly become rancid if not treated within a short time after milling.

This article is about the plant and cereal grain, also known as corn in some countries. For other uses, see Maize (disambiguation).
"Corn" redirects here. For other uses, see corn (disambiguation).

Maize (Zea mays L. ssp. mays, pronounced /ˈmeɪz/), known in many English-speaking countries as corn, is a grass domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica in prehistoric times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize

Corn is the name used in the United States, Canada, and Australia for the grain maize.

In much of the world, the term "corn" is a generic term for local cereal crops, such as

* Wheat
* Barley

Thanks for the note Nilson - and it seems fine for the US market - as a UK person, I find the term "corn" ambiguous :-)
