Although, sweetcorn is a sub-tropical plant it grows in Britain and is harvested towards end of September to October. Sweetcorn is a variety of maize but grown for human consumption. It has its origins in Ancient Mexico when farmer cultivated the kernels (seeds) evolving them to how they are now; long coned-shaped cobs with sweet tasting kernels. Such sweetcorn can be eaten directly from the cob.
