About Yellow corn

Yellow corn is maize with yellow kernels, sold fresh on the cob or as kernels separated from the cob. The kernels are plump and moist when fresh, with a sweet, starchy flavour that becomes less sweet and firmer as they mature or dry. The term identifies kernel colour but does not specify a particular cultivar or maturity.

Fresh yellow corn is boiled, steamed, grilled, or cut from the cob for cooking. Mature kernels may be dried and used in milled products, including meal and grits. Fresh, frozen, canned, and dried kernels have different textures and uses, so the form matters when identifying the ingredient.
