The yellow corn of my childhood was very starchy and not nearly as sweet
as today's yellow and white hybrids or plain white corn. IMO, the
yellow, when only slightly over-ripe, tastes very starchy.
The best tasting corn I have ever eaten in my life was a bicolor hybrid
from the San Pascual Valley in northern San Diego County.
