What it is

Super Sweet Yellow Corn is a variety of corn bred for its high sugar content, making it naturally sweeter than standard sweet corn. It is grown and harvested like other corn varieties, then typically processed to remove the kernels from the cob for use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Super Sweet Yellow Corn primarily for its sweet flavor and appealing yellow color. It is commonly found in frozen vegetable mixes, canned vegetables, and prepared meals, adding a natural sweetness and texture.

Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming corn at typical dietary levels.
