I think it is meant to be 'flour' corn..but I did have some under developed (full kernels but hardly any colour) this summer on barbeque and they were lovely...not as sweet as sweetcorn but still nicely so and not mealy at all in that stage. The ones that I tried little bit later already had more colour and those were already starchy.
So its either 'catch them early for cob eating..or let them be pretty for flour'.
