Fascinating Facts About Sweet Corn
Sweet corn, a cereal crop in the grass family, offers a range of nutrients like vitamin C, B vitamins, protein, iron, potassium, carotenoids, and fiber. It typically grows around 4.8 feet tall and is a key component in the Three-Sisters garden setup. The even number of rows on each cob, one silk strand per kernel, and the distinction between male tassels and female silk are intriguing features. Corn is grown on every continent except Antarctica, with a history dating back over 7,000 years in Central America. Varieties come in white, yellow, and bi-colors, each with distinct geographic preferences. Sweet corn matures in 60-100 days, growing at a rate of one ear per day.
