Your complete guide to all things corn.
But considering how central corn is to our national diet, not to mention economy, most of us don't know much about the different varieties out there, let alone which ones can be great to eat. From the types of sweet cobs you'll encounter at the supermarket to the origins of popcorn to all the delicious things you can do with corn starch, hominy, and grits, here's your complete guide to all things corn.
As with most vegetables, corn tastes best when fresh-picked, but standard corn has an especially short shelf life. Among the most popular standard corn varieties are Silver Queen, renowned for its large ears, sweet taste, and super-white kernels ; Jubilee, popular for its high yield and tender yellow kernels; and Butter and Sugar, which is defined by its mix of white and yellow kernels. Consumers can look for these names when shopping, but their availability tends to be inconsistent.
Sugary enhanced corn is known for having a sweet flavor and slightly longer shelf life. It's as likely to show up at farmers markets as supermarket shelves. Varieties you might be chowing down on after a grocery run: Silver Choice Hybrid, Kandy Korn, Sugar Buns, and Peaches and Cream. So-called supersweet corn—hybrid varieties like sugary enhanced—is the sweetest of the sweet corns, and also has an extended shelf life that appeals to outfits shipping to grocery stores, where most of it ends up. Varieties can sound more like porn star names than corn types , but it's unlikely you'll see them actually labeled as such by the time they hit stands.You can't just take any old corn kernel, put it in a pan, and expect it to pop.
There are many varieties of popcorn, but they all pop in one of two shapes—either resembling a mushroom or a snowflake. Mushroom-shaped popcorn usually gets covered in caramel or other liquid sugars , while the snowflake shape is what you'll find served in movie theaters and stuck between the couch cushions of homes across the US. At the grocery store, corn varieties sold as popcorn usually look similar, but popcorn does come in a variety of sizes, colors, and even"hulless.
