Sweet corn

Sweet corn is a variety of maize (Zea mays) that is specifically cultivated for its tender, sweet kernels, which are typically eaten as a vegetable rather than a grain. Unlike regular corn (which is harvested when the kernels are dry), sweet corn is harvested when the kernels are still in their milk stage, making them plump, juicy, and sweet.

Sweet corn can be enjoyed in many ways, including:

Boiled or steamed: Simply cook the ears of corn and serve with butter and salt.

Grilled: A popular method, where the corn is often husked, seasoned, and grilled for a smoky flavor.

In salads: The kernels can be cut off and added to fresh salads.

In soups and stews: Adds a natural sweetness and texture.

As a side dish: Sautéed with garlic, butter, or herbs for extra flavor.

Sweet corn is also a great source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
