Super Sweet

Super Sweet is a real sweet treat.  The seed kernels are smaller, lighter in weight and have a shrunken appearance and the texture is crispy rather than creamy.  The shrunken kernels greatly increase the sweetness and slows the conversion of starch.  Because of  the slower conversion of sugars to starch after harvest it can be stored 7-10 days.  Adequate soil moisture is critical for plants to form tassels, silks and to develop ears. Ears should be ready to harvest about 3 weeks after silk emergence.

Chef Jeff’s Tip for Success:  Plant away from other corn varieties to get super sweet quality.
