I actually prefer the pure yellow sweet corn if, and when I can buy it, over the butter and sugar yellow and white hybrids. I grew up eating the yellow sweet corn, but when the hybrids came out, farms quit planting the yellow sweet corn for the most part, and switched over to the butter and sugar. I've tried the white corn, but wasn't impressed with it at all.
You almost never find yellow sweet corn in grocery store anymore. Sometimes you run across it at roadside stands, or in the farmers markets. I think it's still sweeter than the hybrids, but that's just my opinion............
Hard to believe that corn that was $1-$2 a dozen within a year or two is at $6 a dozen, and higher now...............
