Varieties of the augmented supersweet type combine multiple gene types on top of sh2. These varieties have 100% of the kernels containing the sh2 gene, but also have se and su genes in some portion of the kernels. The augmented supersweet varieties have tender kernels like the se varieties. Therefore, mechanical picking is not recommended.
Most countries primarily use the term maize, and the name corn is used mainly in the United States and a handful of other English-speaking countries. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] In countries that primarily use the term maize , the word corn may denote any cereal crop, varying geographically with the local staple , [ 21 ] such as wheat in England and oats in ...

Flint corn earns its name from its rock-hard exteriors and relatively small amount of soft starch. As these kernels dry they shrink uniformly and are dent-free, less likely to spoil.
Meanwhile, a Facebook page devoted to Glass Gem allows growers to share pictures of the vibrant corn variety. But the story behind Glass Gem is just as remarkable. It begins with one man, Carl ...
Baby corn (also known as young corn, cornlettes, child corn or baby sweetcorn) is a cereal grain taken from corn (maize) harvested early while the stalks are still small and immature. It typically is eaten whole—including the cob , which is otherwise too tough for human consumption in mature corn—in raw, pickled, and cooked forms.
Plus, newer corn varieties are sweeter — “a whole lot more sugar” — with bigger kernels. “This is an old-fashioned variety, it’s just a good ole sweet corn,” Penny said of Silver Queen.
Sweet corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa), [1] also called sweetcorn, sugar corn and pole corn, is a variety of maize grown for human consumption with a high sugar content. 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
