About Sweet corn
Sweet corn is sold steamed in cups with butter and masala, roasted on the cob as bhutta in the monsoon and stirred into soups.
- The cob line counts kernels only, not the cob itself.
- Butter and masala in a corn cup add their own values; desi bhutta is often a field corn rather than sweet corn.
