Sizzling Sweet Summer Sweepstakes Thank You

A single sweet corn plant produces a range of 1-3 cobs each, which typically range from 8-10 inches in length.
Green husks indicate the corn is fresh and light brown silk indicates that each kernel has been pollinated.
Florida is the largest grower of sweet corn in the U.S.
From seed to finished product, Florida Sweet Corn takes about 90 days to mature.
Super Sweet Corn grows slowly for the first 30 days, reaching a height of 18 to 24 inches.
Then the growth accelerates: Stalks expand vertically, the tassel (male flower part) and ear (female part) emerge and take shape, and the silk starts to sprout from the ear.
Pollination takes place when pollen from the tassel becomes airborne and comes in contact with the silk.

Corn is rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage.
