Yellow dent corn
Most of the corn crop in the United States is yellow dent. Its vitamin A content, high feed value, and availability of adapted superior hybrids account for its extensive use. Of the cereal grains, it contains the highest content of carotene (Vitamin A). Dent corn originated from crosses of flint and floury corns. Dent hybrids vary in the proportion of hard and soft endosperm.
