Ethanol-bound corn crops might not be the tastiest, but they're far from inedible. Most of it is field corn, which is hard to process by the gut but can be eaten if ground up (such as in corn meal and corn flour).[1]

Even if it isn't tasty, does it matter? If the ethanol bound crop isn't being used for ethanol, you can grow another crop on that land. It's not like a mine where you can only extract the mineral that happens to exist there.
