Pearl White Super-Sweet Fruit Corn
Most sweet corn is bred to be cooked. Pearl White is bred to be bitten into. The skin on each kernel is thin enough to break…
Graded and pre-cooled in season
Fresh sweet corn cobs, graded and pre-cooled
A fresh cob is judged in the hand, not on paper. The grade has to be visible — even ear length, tight kernel rows filled to the tip, husk still green and closed — because that is what a produce buyer checks at intake and what a shopper checks on the shelf.
The problem
What usually goes wrong
Fresh sweet corn goes wrong in two ways that a spec sheet rarely captures. Ears arrive uneven, because they were collected across several growers with different planting dates. Or they arrive sweet on paper and dull in the mouth, because too many hours passed between the stalk and the cold room.
How this product answers it
Both are handled by growing the crop rather than buying it. Planting is scheduled on our own land, ears are cut at the green-ear stage, and grading happens against a single variety profile before the corn is pre-cooled. What ships is one uniform batch with one harvest date, not a blend.
What you get
Why buyers specify it
Graded for sweetness, size and appearance
Ears are selected before packing so each shipment meets a consistent specification rather than an average of what the day produced.
Same-day out of field heat
Cut ears move into pre-cooling in season instead of standing in a collection yard, which is where fresh sweetness is usually lost.
In-husk or husked
In-husk ears protect the kernels and read as "just picked" on a produce shelf; husked cobs show the pearl-white kernels the variety is bought for. Both come from the same grade.

Questions about this product
Can you send a sample before the main season?
Sample availability depends on where the current crop stands. Send your target market and format and we will tell you what can ship now and what has to wait for the window.
How should fresh cobs be stored on arrival?
Fresh sweet corn holds its sweetness best cold and unhusked. Your own market's chilled-produce handling standards should govern shelf conditions and date coding.
What happens when the fresh season ends?
The same corn continues as IQF and vacuum-pack. Buyers who start on fresh cobs usually carry the variety through the rest of the year on one of those two formats.
