Sweet Corn Seeds

Corn is one of the best sources of foodstuffs because of its high level of fiber and contains vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium and potassium. Refined corn products are widely consumed, frequently as ingredients in processed food. Corn was first introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in 1579. Sweet corn is now a familiar and popular vegetable around the country. Corn is used for livestock feed, as ingredients such as cornstarch, glucose, and mizuame (a thick sweetener similar to corn syrup), and fermentation stock for such products as distilled liquor and beer.

Sweet corn seeds come in yellow color with soft kernels. The seeds are rich in fiber and plant compounds that may aid digestive and eye health. The seeds can aid with digestion and provide essential minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and manganese. Corn has useful nutrients that promote good hair health. The vitamins in corn are able to help the hair strands replenish moisture and sheen from within. Sweet corn seeds are high in starch. Consuming the seeds in excess can increase blood sugar. It is also not advised to eat genetically modified corn.  

Sweet corn seeds can be best planted after the soil temperature reaches 60°F (16°C), usually 2 or 3 weeks after the last frost in spring. It is commonly grown in gardens. It can be grown in large containers, or the ground, and only requires a bit of room to anchor its tall stems. Sow eight to ten seeds half an inch (1cm) deep into four inch. For a better yield, it is recommended to use well-rotted manure compost, green manure crops or similar materials that improve water holding capacity of the soil.
