Sweet Corn
The corn growing season is from early July to late August.
Corn was first domesticated by Native Americans somewhere over 6,000 years ago, in Mexico. Corn is America's number one field crop. An ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows. There are three types of sweet corn-yellow, white, and bicolor.
Corn is low in fat, very low in sodium, cholesterol free, and a good source of vitamin C.
Refrigerate corn immediately after taking it home. By refrigerating the corn it helps the corn stay sweet by not letting the sugars turn to starch.
Sweet Corn can be boiled, roasted, barbecued, or even eaten raw.
