Etymology
The term "sweet corn" comes from the naturally high sugar content, as opposed to field corn varieties, which are used for animal fodder, various corn-based human food uses (including grinding into cornmeal or masa, pressing into corn oil, and fermentation and distillation into alcoholic beverages like bourbon whiskey), and as chemical feedstocks. Corn is a native word from the Native American language of the people who first domesticated the plant.
Varieties
There are generally three types of sweet corn: standard (su), sugar enhanced (se), and supersweet (sh2). Each variety involves significant differences in sweetness, texture, and recommended cooking methods.
Nutritional Value
Sweet corn is loaded with lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals that promote healthy vision. A midsize ear also offers a helpful 3-gram dose of dietary fiber.
