Sweet Corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa) is a variety of maize that is harvested while the kernels are still tender and full of natural sugars. Unlike field corn, which is grown for starch or livestock feed, sweet corn is cultivated specifically for human consumption and is prized for its juicy, sweet flavor.
The ears of sweet corn are covered in layers of green husks and topped with silky threads. Inside, rows of yellow or bi-colored kernels are tightly packed on the cob. It can be boiled, steamed, grilled, or eaten raw when fresh. Sweet corn is a popular ingredient in salads, soups, snacks, and side dishes across many cultures.
