There is a way to make corn taste sweeter and it's all thanks to the sweetcorn. When you don't have enough of these sugars, there isn't much for the starch in your kernel. The result will be an unappealing grain that tastes nothing like what we're used to - or worse! This mutation has been found across many different breeds but can usually only be found on about 1% of them because not everyone wants their food as sugary as possible.
Sweet corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var rugosa; also called sweetcorn, sugar corn, and pole) are high-sugar maize varieties with naturally occurring recessive mutations present in genes that control conversion from sugar into starch inside kernels.
