Technically the word "corn" is a synonym for "grain", as in a term that means plant seeds. So you can have "wheat corn" and "barley corn" and we actually do regularly use "peppercorns".

So the actual grain used to make lembas remains a mystery, because Tolkien was using an older usage of the word "corn".


Now if you want to start questioning the presence of New World foods in Middle Earth, what about potatoes and tomatoes? Both of them are American foodstuffs. (And by "American" I am meaning both North and South American continents.)

The surviving Numenoreans circumnavigated the (newly round) globe. No reason they shouldn't have brought back tomatoes and potatoes from the Middle-earth equivalent of the Americas.

Oh, and tobacco, of course.
