Just as a note, corn has a high sugar content. The second that it is picked, the sugar starts turning into starch.
If you really want to know what corn tastes like, it should be cooked on same day that it is picked. Almost impossible with store bought as it is likely a week or three old when you buy it, even if it is still in the husk.
Many different types of corn, humans eat sweet corn and animals eat feed corn. Of course with all of the hybrids out today... You may be trying to eat animal feed corn...
Interesting that corn is not a native species and does not grow in the wild. It was originally grass and was domesticated/developed (basically genetically modified) by Mexicans about 7-10,000 years ago, according to most.
Diabetics really shouldn't eat a lot of corn.
