When we obsess over current trends, we often miss what we’ve left behind. Recently, I’ve noticed sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata) everywhere—in supermarkets, street food stalls, retail shops, and even fields. It’s undeniably tasty and appealing.
This popularity is likely due to consumer preference or the effects of capitalism. However, traditional orange corn (Zea mays var. indurata), which was once common, is now mostly grown for poultry feed.
Perhaps we’ve developed a fondness for sweetness in everything. I remember a time when orange corn was readily available and a staple in many homes. Now, it feels like it’s slipping away.
Hope I am not the one!
Cheers!
