sweet corn
Tender yellow ears
Sweet corn is corn bred for eating fresh rather than grinding into meal or feeding livestock.
The kernels are harvested when immature and tender, with high sugar content that distinguishes it from field corn.
It's eaten on the cob, canned, or frozen: We grilled sweet corn for the cookout.
