Sweet Corn

Sweet Corn is a popular variety of maize known for its tender kernels and natural sweetness. Nutrient-rich, it provides carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins (especially B-complex), and minerals like magnesium and potassium. It's also a good source of antioxidants.

In Nepal, sweet corn is grown primarily in the Terai and mid-hill regions. Its production has increased due to rising demand for fresh consumption and as an ingredient in various dishes. Farmers benefit from its relatively short growing season and adaptability to diverse climates.

Sweet corn is widely consumed in Nepal as roasted or boiled street food, as well as in soups, salads, and curries. Its popularity is growing in urban areas due to health-conscious diets and increased availability in local markets.
