                                An average ear of corn contains approximately 800 kernels, neatly arranged in an even number of rows, typically 16. This sheds light on the common question, "how much corn is in one corn?", which refers not to a single kernel but to the collective kernels on a single ear, a product of the leafy maize stalk.
