About Sweet yellow corn

Sweet yellow corn is the yellow-kernel form of sweet corn, harvested while the kernels are tender and relatively high in natural sugars. The kernels are arranged in rows on a cob and have a juicy, crisp texture when fresh; cooking makes them softer and brings out their sweet, mildly grassy flavour.

It is eaten on or off the cob and is also sold as kernels, canned corn, or frozen corn. These forms differ in moisture, texture, and preparation. Sweet corn is distinct from mature field corn, which is harvested and used differently.
