Corn - Spotted Sweet Corn
Variety Description:
Produced by the maize plant.
Not all the kernels are the same colour.
Unlike other types of corn, the sugar in is not converted to starch during growth.
Corn kernels are about the size of peas, and form rows around the white pithy cob.
Cobs can contain anywhere from 200 to 400 kernels, and can be from 10–25 cm in length.
Easy to cook - can be boiled, baked or barbecued.
Selection:
A good corn cob will have its wrapping leaves intact and should look fresh, green not spotted or damaged.
Cobs should also be free of insects or disease.
Sweet corn should be free of any off smell.
