Sweet Corn

My kids are ecstatic that the corn they planted is now starting to bloom.  I bought a pack of corn seed at a store because they really wanted to experience planting  some corn.
Now, it would be cheaper to just buy  some corn in the store especially now that it's on sale,  but the fact that my kids wanted to experience planting it is  worth every dime we paid. Did you know that the main  pigment in Yellow Indian corn is called zeaxanthin?  According to crosswordsolver.org zeaxanthin is the yellow carotenoid (isomeric with lutein and occurs widely with it) in the said corn.
