Product Description

Sweet corn is a grass family cereal plant that produces an edible grain. Sweet corn is related to grain corn. Its composition is unique since it contains one or more genes that inhibit the conversion of carbohydrates to starch. It is harvested when its water content reaches approximately 70%. It is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins, particularly group B vitamins. Sweet corn combines unique varieties in which glucose does not rapidly convert to starch. There are recessive genes that control this peculiarity; for the livestock, the sweet corn crop must be separated from the maize crop to avoid unintended crosses.Sweet corn (Zea mays) is a very popular corn variety because it has a high sugar content that makes it perfect for human consumption. It is also called sugar corn and pole corn. Grow sweet corn because it is the best way to green up your home; sweet corn purifies the air and helps to add oxygen to the air, and you can also enjoy the growing corn stages.
