Sweet
Corn Varieties
There
are three main types of sweet corn available: Sh2, (supersweet),
SUSU (normal sugary), and SESE (sugary enhancer). Sweet corn
can also be classified by its color: white, yellow, or bi-colored.
Supersweet corn varieties have firm kernels and are very sweet.
They are typically not as “creamy” as the other
varieties. Note that supersweet corn is more susceptible than
the other varieties to cross-pollination and may loose its flavor
if grown too close to other non-supersweet corn crops. Normal
sugary corns are creamy and sweet and very popular with gardeners.
They do not store well after harvesting, and should be eaten
within a couple of days. Sugary enhancer varieties have a smooth
and buttery texture. For flavor, texture, and ease of growing,
this is the best variety.
