White and yellow corn are two common varieties of corn that differ
primarily in color, but there are also some differences in flavor
and uses:
1. Color
White Corn Has a pale, off-white color. It tends to be
sweeter and is often used in dishes where a subtler flavor is
desired.
Yellow Corn Has a bright yellow color due to the
presence of beta-carotene. It has a slightly more robust flavor
compared to white corn.
2. Flavor and Texture
White Corn Generally sweeter and more tender. It's
commonly used in fresh corn dishes, such as salads, or as a side
dish.
Yellow Corn Slightly more starchy and has a richer,
fuller flavor. It's often used for making cornmeal, tortillas, and
other processed products.
3. Uses
White Corn Popular in recipes where the corn's natural
sweetness is a feature, such as in Mexican street corn or fresh
corn on the cob.
Yellow Corn: Frequently used for making corn chips,
popcorn, and is also a staple in many dishes like cornbread and
polenta.
Both types of corn are versatile and can be used interchangeably in
many recipes, though the color and flavor might affect the final
outcome of the dish.
