Are tortilla chips made from sweet corn or feed corn?

Best Answers

Corn chips, corn flour, corn meal , anomal feed, ethonol, etc. are all made from field corn. Field corn is allowed to dry on the stalk before harvesting. Sweet corn has a much higher sugar content and is harvested while it is still young and is used in a lot of recipes as well as eating fresh. read more

Well, in comparison, most tortilla chips are made with grain corn. Grain corn has hard, dry kernels and a starchy flavor to it. Grain corn is then machine-harvested in the fall, once the plant has died, and the kernels have hardened on the cob. read more
