This is called pearl corn because of the white kernels..

Pearl Corn is different from the normal corn because it is so sweet, have bigger kernels and can be eaten fresh. It is more expensive than regular corn but it is worth the money.

Corn can be eaten raw, and it tastes best when it’s just ripen and freshly picked. The husks by the way makes excellent organic plate scrubber at the sink. My mother-in-law gathers the husks, fold it and ties it together with a thin rubber band (there’s thin and there’s the thick rubber bands). She then scrubs the plates with a bit of water and dishwashing liquid. Such an environmentally friendly tool.
