Sweet corn (otherwise known as Etzkorn or sweet corn, it is also known as sugar corn), is a hybridized variety of maize, specifically bred to increase the sugar content.Sweet corn is commonly eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. The cobs are picked for relatively rapid distribution (or frozen in this 'soft' state) before the fruits mature into hard grains. The kernels are boiled or steamed and eaten as a side dish, sometimes with butter or salt, and are sometimes used as a pizza topping..
