Indian corn can be many colours; Blue Corn is a variety that is blue. It is also a variety that is harder to grow.

It produces a lower yield than other types of corn, and its stalks tend to just fall over in the fields. In compensation, it has more of a "fuller" corn flavour than white or yellow corn. These factors lead to its being more expensive than other types of corn.

It is very popular for the flour that can be made from it for tortilla chips. The kernels can also be used for posole.
