Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Stärkemais
I need to distinguish between "Stärkemais" and "Speisemais", as described in the sentence below, but I am struggling to differentiate between the many varieties of corn I can find:

Der **Stärkemais** wird vorwiegend zur Herstellung von Mehlen und Stärkepulver genutzt und bietet sich nicht zum Verzehr an. Der **Speisemais** hingegen eignet sich eher, da er den typischen, süßlichen Geschmack beim Kochen, Braten oder Grillen entwickelt.

flour corn
Erklärung:
Flour corn, see refs below:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/flour corn
Noun 1. flour corn - corn having kernels almost entirely of soft starch

http://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--37936/flour-corn....
A type of corn that is grown solely as a source for the production of corn flour. The kernels are starchy and much softer than other types of corn, which allows flour milling to be an easier process. Corn varieties that have drier, harder kernels, such as flint corn, are often ground into coarse meal, but can be difficult to grind into fine flour.

var. amylacea – Weichmais, Stärkemais
Stärkemais ist die ursprünglich angebaute Maisform und wird noch heute in tropischen Gebieten angebaut.

Flour corn (var. amylacea), the ear contains soft, starchy kernels; it requires a long growing season and is therefore grown primarily in the tropics

field corn


Erklärung:
Sweet corn is what you buy at the grocery store. Field corn is not eaten as a kernel but processed.

Maize


Erklärung:
vs sweetcorn.

Though sweetcorn is technically a type of maize, the term maize is pretty much reserved for the varieties grown for animal feed and processing.

That's the UK usage, anyway, as far as I know

Neutraler Kommentar  Nicola Wood: I would understand cornflour as the ready processed product, but flour corn as the plant whcih is used to produce the cornflour.

  -> Yes, of course you are right. I suppose the asker wanted to know the term for the plant and not the product.

Reference information:
Is cornflour and cornstarch the same thing?
Yes and no. In the UK, the term "cornflour" does indeed often refer to what others know as cornstarch.

However, cornflour can also refer to flour made from corn, or corn meal (as opposed to cornstarch, which is only part of the corn flour). While they will both thicken a broth or juice, the corn flour will leave a strong taste. The cornstarch will not leave an aftertaste, which is why it is used as a thickener.
