Cutting-edge technology enables Didion to examine each kernel of corn individually, determining its ultimate destination. The finest parts of the kernel are destined for grocery store shelves, appearing in popular corn products such as snacks, cereals, cornbread, and even beer. Additionally, these high-quality kernels are used in famine-relief meals, providing essential nutrition to millions of families in underdeveloped countries.
Other parts of the kernel are utilized in our ethanol production facility, transformed into distillers’ grain to feed livestock worldwide, or converted into industrial corn binders found in various household and office products.
