Corn on the cob is a culinary term used for a cooked ear of freshly picked sweet corn (maize).

Sweet corn  is a cereal with a high sugar content, sweet corn is prepared and eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. Maize also known as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico. Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice.

Sweet corn must be eaten fresh, cooking sweet corn increases levels of ferulic acid, which has anti-cancer properties. Sweet corn is a good source of dietary fiber, B vitamins and minerals.
