Sweet, soft and waxy, these four words mean corn. Corn, because of its high value and taste in line with the people's taste and other advantages, many people love to eat, and every family has eaten it. Therefore, although corn can be seen everywhere in supermarkets, vegetable markets and other places, and it is so cheap and grounded, it is not as small as apple and pear fruits, but it does not hinder people's love for corn. And there are many varieties of corn, which makes people love it more.

So, what are the varieties of corn? What are their functions? What are the differences between them? Now let's tell you the difference between sweet corn and waxy corn:

First, talk about the varieties of corn. Although there are many corn varieties, they are generally divided into two categories: sweet corn and waxy corn. All varieties are the expansion of these two kinds. The same thing is that they are all corn, and they are loved by people, and so on.

What are the differences between different kinds of corn?

1、 Quick frozen sweet corn kernels taste different.

The basic reason why the two kinds of corn are different is the difference in composition and content. The starch content of waxy corn itself is as high as 70% to 80%, and the starch contained in it is amylopectin. Therefore, compared with sweet corn, it tastes soft and waxy and can be easily chewed. Generally speaking, people with poor teeth can eat this kind of corn. The content of starch in sweet corn is very small, most of which are sucrose, fructose, glucose and water-soluble polysaccharides. Therefore, compared with waxy corn, it tastes sweeter and has thin skin and more juice. It is for this reason that it is called sweet corn.

2、 A little different.

Generally speaking, the of sweet corn is higher than that of waxy corn. The main reason is that quick-frozen sweet corn not only contains more sugar, but also contains carotene, riboflavin, lysine, protein, vitamins, minerals, linoleic acid, folic acid and other nutrients, which is much more than waxy corn. Therefore, the value of waxy corn is far less than that of sweet corn.

3、 The shelf life is different.

Quick frozen sweet corn kernels cannot be kept for a long time because of their composition. Waxy corn is just the opposite. Because the starch content accounts for the vast majority, the storage time is much longer than that of sweet corn.

In general, these are the differences between the two. The two kinds of corn also have their own advantages. About which kind of corn to eat, it also varies from person to person. Everyone has everyone's preferences.
