1. Modern gardeners have hybrids with high sugar content at their disposal. Especially tasty white corn, for example, a variety called "Eskimo F1".

2. The sweetness of the harvest is affected by the quality and quantity of nutrition. Corn should be fertilized with compounds that will saturate it with magnesium and boron.

3. The planting location is also important. Corn grows up to 2-3 m. Thanks to this, the plant almost never experiences problems with lighting. However, it is important that the corn is not deprived of sunlight even at the initial stages of development.
