Corn

Corn was a plant indigenous to Earth. It was a grain used by Humans as food.

Corn kernels, when taken off the cob and dried, were cooked in oil to make popcorn, which was often served at movie showings. 

According to her guidebook, Shannon O'Donnell was near a re-creation of The Last Supper made entirely of corn when she was driving through Indiana in 2000. 

In 2151, a Klingon scoutship crash-landed in a cornfield in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The field belonged to a corn farmer named Moore, who subsequently shot the pilot of the craft, a Klingon named Klaang, after the Klingon destroyed his silo. 

When Subcommander T'Pol chose a farm on the Akaali homeworld as a landing site for an Enterprise away team because of its sparse population, Jonathan Archer remarked "this must be why aliens are always landing in cornfields."

In 2371, when USS Voyager was pulled to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker and beamed aboard to a holographic simulation of a farm, the crew walked past a garden patch of corn stalks. The Caretaker, in the form of Aunt Adah, offered the crewmembers some corn-on-the-cob and some lemonade. 

Three years later, aboard Voyager, Tom Paris noted that a mystery meal prepared by Neelix tasted "vaguely like chicken, but it has the consistency of corn husks."
