Longrass — Detailed Guide
A grain crop
Longrass is one of the 4 crops in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and the ARK Wiki points out that it is in fact corn. The game describes it this way: "This grain plant grows best in open, fertile areas. It can be eaten by the cob, but more clever chefs will think of other options." According to the wiki, it is used in cooking recipes as well as some kibble.
Growing and gathering it
It grows from a Longrass Seed planted in a medium or large crop plot, and a single plant holds no more than 150 Longrass at a time. Longrass plants and seeds can be found in the warm mountains of The Island and The Center, and the wiki adds that it can be harvested in the Ragnarok Arena on Ragnarok. Loot is a further source: 57 crate types can contain it, among them Astraeos Blue, Genesis Blue on Genesis Part 2 and Candy Corn B from the Fear Evolved event.
A short shelf life
Once picked, Longrass spoils after 300 seconds (5 minutes), which the wiki compares to 
Raw Prime Meat. A 
Preserving Bin or 
Refrigerator extends the timer by a short time, and the wiki recommends leaving it in the crop plot until it is needed. A piece weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, and a full stack weighs 10.
Recipes with Longrass
Our recipe data has 7 uses in each game. Both share 
Regular Kibble (2 Longrass), 
Fria Curry and 
Lazarus Chowder (5 each), 
Broth of Enlightenment and 
Sweet Vegetable Cake (2 each) and 
Battle Tartare (1). ASA adds 
Algae Sushi, which takes 10, while ASE has 
Simple Augmented Kibble with 1.
