Want to make sure your corn is gmo free? Just see if it is white. Here is the simple science behind it.
Corn is a very promiscuous plant. It can freely cross with corn plants up to a half mile away which are tasseling at the same time. If there is gmo field corn with in a half mile you can assume it is crossing with the sweet corn. However gmo field corn is yellow, and yellow is dominate to white so any crosses turn yellow.
Eating white sweetcorn? Then your eating corn that is clean from gmo contamination. Eating yellow sweet corn and your never quit sure.
Thankfully there is still some very good Heirloom white sweet corns. Stowell's Evergreen, Country Gentleman, (often called shoe peg corn, because the kernels are not in rows; a trait it shares with a few other varieties) and Black Iroquois, (a.k.a. Black Puckers, Black Mexican, or Black Aztec. The later names are believed to have been given by seed companies to make it sound exotic)
