- Color: The most distinguishing feature is its white to creamy-white kernels, which differentiate it from yellow maize.
- Appearance (Plant): Like other corn varieties, it features tall, strong green stalks and long, broad leaves. The ears are well-formed, encased in husks with silk emerging from the top.
- Texture & Flavor: White maize typically has a softer starchier texture and a milder, less sweet flavor compared to sweet yellow corn varieties. Its subtle taste makes it a versatile ingredient.
- Hybrid Variety: “Hybrid” indicates that this maize is the result of cross-pollinating two different parent corn lines. This is done to combine desirable traits like higher yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved kernel quality.
Nutritional Profile
White maize provides valuable nutrients:
- Carbohydrates: Primarily a source of complex carbohydrates, providing essential energy.
- Fiber: Contains dietary fiber, beneficial for digestive health.
- Vitamins: Offers B vitamins (like thiamine, niacin, and folate).
- Minerals: Provides magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Antioxidants: While it lacks the beta-carotene of yellow corn (which gives it its color), it still contains other beneficial antioxidants.
