Corn
Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature
or The word dagan, which is rendered 'grain,' 'corn,' and sometimes 'wheat' in the Authorized Version, is the most general of the Hebrew terms representing 'corn,' and is more comprehensive than any word in our language, seeing that it probably includes not only all the proper corn-grains, but also various kinds of pulse and seeds of plants, which we never comprehend under the name of 'corn' or even of 'grain.' It may, therefore, be taken to represent all the commodities which we describe by the different words corn, grain, seeds, peas, beans. Among other places in which this word occurs, see;;; , etc.
The different products coming under the denomination of corn, are noticed under the usual heads, as Barley Wheat etc.; their culture, under Agriculture; their preparation, under Bread Food Mill etc.
