1. Not All Corn Is for Humans

Driving past endless cornfields? That’s probably field corn, not the sweet corn you eat.

“Field corn… is mostly for feeding livestock… or making things like corn syrup and ethanol,” the article explains.

It’s harvested late, hard, and starchy—basically industrial corn.

Sweet corn is what you grill, boil, or eat raw. Picked early while kernels are soft and sugary, it’s what we actually enjoy at meals.

“Honestly, if you’ve ever eaten it with your hands and had butter dripping down your wrist, you know.”

Field corn is tough, dented, and often genetically modified for pests.

Sweet corn is plump, shiny, and mostly non-GMO.

You can cook sweet corn straight away; field corn must be processed first.

Field corn ends up as feed, ethanol, or processed ingredients.

Sweet corn is for dinner. “Even though they’re both corn, they’re kind of not.”
