HOW TO GROW SWEETCORN FROM SEEDS
CARE AFTER GERMINATION OF SWEETCORN
After you have removed your young plants from their pots, carefully tease their roots apart. Make sure you retain as much soil as possible around the roots. Now plant your sweet corn 45cm apart in both directions. For each plant, dig a hole, place the seeds in the hole, and then firm the soil back down. Sweet corn hates the cold. Keep pots moist as they grow on. Using your hands, remove any weeds that grow within your sweetcorn and continue the wedding while you can still reach between the plants. Sweetcorn is sturdy and shouldn’t need support. As the silks appear and the cobs begin to form in late summer, they will benefit from watering in arid weather.
SWEETCORN USES AND HEALTH BENEFITS
In addition to its versatility, sweetcorn has been a staple food for centuries. It is a tasty addition to soups, salads, and pizza toppings. Cornmeal, polenta, cornmeal, and syrup can all be made with it directly off the cob. Vitamin C, abundant in corn, protects your cells from damage and helps prevent diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Corn is a good source of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are essential for maintaining good eye health and preventing cataracts.
