Following the non-germination of my other sweetcorn I have bought some Sweetcorn Northern Extra Sweet to try again. I shall just germinate the kernels by putting them between two pieces of damp kitchen towel then put them directly into the bed on the allotment. They cost nothing as they were free when I bought five packets of seed from T&M. Germination update – five of 28 through already at 3 days.
A typical sweetcorn cob contains less than 100 calories. Cobs are gluten-free and are a good source of fibre and Vitamin B.
