 | | Corn meal is made into a thick porridge in many cultures: from the polenta of Italy and the mămăligă of Romania to mush in the US or the food called sadza, nshima, ugali and mealie pap in Africa. | | | Another common food made from maize is corn flakes. | | | Some is hydrolyzed and enyzmatically treated to produce syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener, and some is fermented and distilled to produce grain alcohol, or ethanol. |

| | Corn |
| | Corn was originally "roasted" in the fire coals. | | | There is no comparison in flavor between sweet corn and roasting ears if the sweet corn is grown under proper conditions, harvested at the right stage of maturity and handled properly between harvest time and cooking time. | | | The sugar in sweet corn is converted to starch rapidly even under optimum storage conditions so the corn should be cooked soon after harvest. |

| | Corn - Glossary from Hormel Foods |
| | Sweet corn has a higher sugar content than other types of corn, but the sugar begins to convert to starch after it is harvested, so it is always best when it is eaten fresh. | | | Sweet Corn, commonly referred to as "corn on the cob" is often considered to be a vegetable rather than a grain, probably because it is most often eaten fresh like a vegetable. | | | Although there are many different varieties, the three types of sweet corn that are readily available are white corn (white kernels), yellow corn (yellow kernels), and a hybrid of both white and yellow, often referred to as peaches and cream or butter and sugar corn. |

| | Sweet Corn Production |
| | Corn is ready for harvest when the ear is full size for the variety, has a tight husk, and has somewhat dried silks. | | | B.C. Field corn is produced primarily for animal feed and industrial uses such as ethanol, cooking oil, etc. In contrast, sweet corn is produced for human consumption as either a fresh or processed product. | | | ) sweet corn, also called supersweet, has two main advantages over the other types: 1) it is at least two to three times sweeter, and 2) the conversion of sugar to starch is negligible, thus this corn type will remain sweet up to 10 days after harvest if cooled properly, then refrigerated. |
