Corn Sweet (3 pcs)

Sweet Corn Local

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, sweet corn is picked when immature and prepared and eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. Cooking sweet corn increases levels of ferulic acid, which has anti-cancer properties.
