Peaches and Cream corn is a variety of sweet corn known for its bicolor kernels. The cob features both yellow and white kernels, giving it a unique, two-toned appearance. This corn is prized for its sweet, milky flavor and tender texture. It's a popular choice for grilling, boiling, or roasting, and is often enjoyed fresh off the cob.
Peaches and Cream corn was developed through selective breeding for its aesthetic and taste qualities. Its exact origin isn't pinpointed to a single event, but it emerged as part of the broader trend in the 20th century to breed sweeter, more colorful corn varieties. This type of corn became popular in the United States, particularly in regions known for corn production like the Midwest. Over time, it has become a beloved variety at farmers' markets and grocery stores, appreciated for both its flavor and its visual appeal.
