1. Sweet corn

   Sweet corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa; also called sweetcorn, sugar corn and pole corn) is a hybridized variety of maize with a high sugar content. Sweet corn is the result of a naturally occurring recessive mutation in the genes which control conversion of sugar to starch inside the endosperm of the corn kernel. Unlike field corn varieties, which are harvested when the kernels are dry and mature (dent stage), sweet corn is picked when immature (milk stage) and prepared and eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. Since the process of maturation involves converting sugar to starch, sweet corn stores poorly and must be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen, before the kernels become tough and starchy. It is one of the six major types of corn, the others being dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, and flour corn.

1. sweet corn

   Sweet corn is a variety of maize that is harvested in its early, milk stage, resulting in kernels that are tender, juicy and sweet. It is typically yellow but can come in other colors such as white and bi-color, and is often consumed as a vegetable rather than a grain. Sweet corn is distinct from field corn, which is harvested when mature, dried and used for animal fodder, various corn-based human food products, and industrial uses.
