 maize
The use of maize tends to depend on which variety of plants, ears, and kernel that are combined with endless color variations of kernel to include yellow, white, red, blue, black, grey, and speckled.
Maize produces good crops in various climatic zones and it prospers in areas too dry for rice and too wet for wheat; thus fitting into a niche between the two.
Maize continues to be important in America and in some areas is a primary food.

 MESOAMERICAN COPAL RESINS
  Painting copal the color of jade recalls the fact that jade placed in the corpse's mouth in Maya burials has been interpreted as symbolizing maize as food for the soul of the newly departed (Coe 1988:225), while copal itself is said to be food of the gods.
  During the harvest they model four ears of maize from copal resin taken from the bark of a species of Bursera, to be deposited in the granary as protection for the newly harvested maize against harmful spirits (Wisdom 1940:403).
The ritual context in which copal is burned, and the consistency with which similar elements are found throughout Mesoamerica underscores the integral position that copal enjoys within the ritual structure.

Maize was recovered from 259, or nearly 80%, of the 325 matrix samples examined from 13LE110 and 13LE327; ninety-nine of the 109 features studied on the basis of floated matrix samples contained at least some maize.
Changes in matrix color on the Wever Terrace are often extremely subtle, making the recognition of different stratigraphic zones difficult, and raising concerns about the reality of some zonation.
One-hundred liters of matrix were processed from these zones for an average sample size of 16.66 liters.

 Carl Erich Correns Biography / Biography of Carl Erich Correns World of Genetics Biography
The results of the experiments on maize were complex and confusing, but the experiments on crossbreeding different color varieties of peas produced very simple ratios.
While still at the University of Tubingen, Correns carried out a series of hybridization experiments on maize and garden peas.
Although Correns is chiefly remembered as a rediscoverer of Mendel, he eventually came to the conclusion that Mendelism could not serve as basis for a general theory linking heredity, development, cytology, and evolution.

The candy is usually tri-colored (yellow top, orange center, white point), although the color combinations may vary, and is made from sugar, corn syrup, and honey.
