Is Indian corn used only for decoration?

No, it is not. But its not to common. Indian corn is a starch which is edible but probably tastes bland. Corn that people normally eat is juicy and sweet while if you were to have it before it matures from the internal breakdowns(while its green), it would be hard, crunchy, and bland. Likewise, Indian corn is hard and bland but its not commonly eaten. If you were to use it, it might be best to ground it into a form of corn starch and mix it with something else.

Indian corn is not only for decoration; it has edible uses, particularly when ground into cornmeal or flour. Historically significant to Native Americans, it serves both decorative and culinary purposes. While its taste is bland compared to sweet corn, it can be processed for cooking.
