Makkachozham or American sweet corn

I have childhood memories of eating the locally grown corn called as "Makkachozham" in Thamizh. At my native place, these are freshly harvested from the nearby farms, allowed to boil in water and then sold by the vendors on the roads or near railway stations, bus stops. 

Since they are boiled in water, they are piping hot when you buy them. One has to remove the top layer and the hairy strands that surround the corn before eating. 

This local variety and the american sweet corns that are bought from the stores vary in taste. Although I do like the corns that are sold in the stores, I will always prefer the local variety especially the fresh ones. Iam very sure that the local variety is far more healthier than the ones that are bought from stores.
