Corn (Dried) is a dried corn kernel that works both as a seed and as a cooking ingredient. Planted in a plowed plot, it grows a crop of Corn.
It suits a survivor with a garden and a plan for bread and meal. The kernels can be sown, milled into flour or added to a cooked dish. Its cost is a slow grow and a short spring sowing season.
The kernels come from opening a Seed Packet - Corn, which gives five of them. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
A kernel goes into a plowed plot of soil. The plant grows for about eighteen days of game time. Each plant gives two to four Corn at harvest. Like every crop, it needs water and care against disease.
Sowing works only in March, April and May. April is the best month to plant. The rest of the year is bad for the crop, from August through February.
Dried corn cannot be eaten on its own. The tooltip says it must be used in a recipe. It goes into soups, stews, rice dishes and pasta.
Twenty kernels grind into Cornflour or Cornmeal. A Stone Mill or a Stone Quern does the grinding.
Birds take the kernels as seed feed.
Five kernels go back into an empty Seed Packet - Corn with the Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe.

The kernels are not found loose in the world. They come from a Seed Packet - Corn. Packets are a fairly common find in closets and sheds. Farm storage metal shelves hold them just as often. A shed counter or shelf is worth a look on any farm.
