SuperSweet

Supersweet is a type of corn that tastes very sweet, almost like candy! It's called "supersweet" because it has more sugar than regular corn. This sweetness comes from a special gene that was added to the corn plants to make them taste better. Think of it like adding sugar to your cereal or strawberries to make them sweeter.

Supersweet corn is often found in the grocery store or at a farmers' market during the summer months. You may see it in different colors, like yellow, white or bi-color (which means it has both yellow and white kernels). When you eat supersweet corn, it's important to remember to remove the husk (the green part that covers the kernels) before cooking it. This helps to make sure it cooks evenly and tastes yummy!

So, to sum it up, supersweet corn is a type of corn that has more sugar and tastes very sweet. It comes in different colors and is delicious when cooked correctly!
