I think you can eat and can sweet corn but hard or dent corn which you can store in buckets requires lime to release the nutrients. You could probably make cornmeal but I don’t think it provides what you need.

As a culinary professional, I call BS.

Lime is used to make hominy, and masa harina de maize. And is required for those only.

Straight grinding of maize makes corn meal, just like you buy in the store. That's for people. I don't grind it so fine if it's for pigs or dogs, and some relatives.

I live this stuff. I don't just read. I'm planting corn again this year so I can make my fresh masa for tamales and tortillas, since I have a well used tortilladora and comal. And I'll grind a bunch for cornmeal, for polenta, cornbread, &ct...

I stand corrected. I should not believe everything I read on the internet. It is nice to know I don't have to go through nixtamalization with all my corn.

Is there a particular type of corn that you plant or will straight grinding work for any type?

There's too much conflicting information on here right now about corn....
