Sweet Corn (Bhutta)

Sweet corn (Bhutta )

Its ears are wrapped in tightly bound lime hued husks with silks and a tassel that extend out from the tip. The yellow kernels are packed in tight almost uniform rows. A single ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels. Freshly harvested yellow corn at its peak ripeness is sweet, offering flavours of almond and sugar, the kernels so succulent, the skin pops as you bite into it. As the corn matures, the kernels lose their milky consistency giving way to a starchy and doughy consistency. Sweet maize grains are usually of a bright yellow colour when ripe, juicy, with great nutritious value and intended for processing different products, like the well-known “popcorn”, etc.
