According to the American Farm Bureau there exists four main types of corn in the United States. These types include Dent, Sweet, Flint, and Popcorn. I am personally familiar with what we call "Jack Pot Sweet Corn" that is a variety with mixed tone kernel colors. It has a distinctly sweet flavor that outshines a lot of the more traditional types like the yellow corn you often times buy at the grocery stores.
Whether you buy it through a store or a fresh from a farmer, corn is a delicious meal time vegetable that can be eaten straight from the cob, or as kernels taken from said cob. Corn in stores usually come in canned, and frozen varieties while corn from the fields must be shucked, washed, and prepared for a meal in a more hands on way. I have shucked my fair share of corn growing up, and it is quite the experience. Shucking, for those who are unaware, is simply removing the leaves, and stringy protective outsides of the corn cob.
