Corn is a valuable source of essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Sowing generally takes place from May until June or mid-July depending on the region.

Harvesting is done when all the awns turn brown, indicating that the corn is ripe. If you're aiming for sweet corn, make sure you don't delay harvesting to prevent it becoming hard. There are always clever ways to use it, whether turning it into flour or planting new seeds the next planting season. The ideal time to harvest corn is generally from August to October.
