question for spanish speakers

[Tobias Baskin]

Greetings,
	  Can any one tell me what the spanish word "acuminados" means when
used in reference to maize? I was reading something in spanish that
referred to "granos acuminados", but I can't find acuminados is my
dictionary.

	Thanks,
		Tobias Baskin
