Can You Eat Ornamental Indian Corn?

The hard, multicolored ears of corn that decorate tabletops and front doors around this time of year are, in theory, edible. If you cooked ornamental corn and ate it right off the cob, it would taste pretty bland, but it wouldn’t hurt you, according to Edith Munro, communications manager for the Iowa Corn Growers Association.
But isnt it just lovely for fall decorations ?
