White vs Yellow Corn

Customers often search white vs yellow corn. White corn and yellow corn are both sweet corn types, but the kernel colour is different because of natural plant pigments. Yellow corn contains yellow-orange pigments, while white corn has pale kernels without the same yellow colour.

Colour alone does not guarantee sweetness. Sweetness depends more on the corn variety, harvest stage, freshness and how quickly the corn is chilled after harvest. White corn is often appreciated for its creamy appearance and clean sweet taste, while yellow corn has the familiar golden colour many customers expect.

How to Cook White Sweet Corn

White sweet corn is easy to cook and does not need heavy seasoning. Remove the husk and silk if needed, then steam, boil, grill or roast until the kernels are hot and tender.

• Grill with butter, salt and black pepper
• Roast with garlic butter or olive oil
• Slice kernels into salads, soups and fried rice
• Add to chicken soup, pork rib soup or vegetable soup
• Use in corn rice, omelettes, fritters and chowder
• Serve with butter, salt, chilli powder, cheese or herbs

Simple Steamed White Corn

For a simple preparation, steam the white corn until hot and tender, then serve with butter and a little salt. Steaming helps keep the kernels juicy and naturally sweet.

You can also cut the cob into smaller sections for children, lunchboxes, hotpot, steamboat or sharing plates.

Grilled and Roasted White Corn

For grilled or roasted white corn, brush the cob with butter or olive oil and cook until the kernels are tender with light browning. This brings out a deeper corn aroma and a slightly smoky flavour.
