Indian corn gluten meal (often referred to simply as corn gluten meal) is a byproduct derived from corn processing, particularly from the production of corn starch and syrup. It's made from the protein-rich part of the corn kernel after most of the starch has been removed.

1.   Animal feed: It’s commonly used as a high-protein supplement in animal diets, particularly for livestock and poultry. It provides essential amino acids and energy to animals.
2.   Organic weed control: Corn gluten meal has been used as an organic herbicide. It contains compounds that inhibit seed germination, making it effective in controlling weeds when applied to lawns and gardens. It’s not harmful to established plants but prevents weed seeds from sprouting.
3.   Fertilizer: It can be used as a natural fertilizer since it contains nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth.
4.   Other industrial applications: It’s sometimes used in the manufacturing of biodegradable plastics and other products due to its natural composition.
