The metabolic energy of corn is 14.06 MJ/kg, with the highest being 15.06 MJ/kg, the highest of the cereal feeds. This is mainly due to the fact that there is very little crude fibre in corn, only 2%, while the nitrogen-free leachate is up to 72% and the digestibility is up to 90%; on the one hand, corn has a high crude fat content, between 3.5% and 4.5%.

So how do you cook a sweet corn?

If you strip the leaves off, the corn will lose nutrients and flavor when it cooks, so it's best to leave two thin leaves to make it easier to cook and have a nice aroma.
2. Soak
Soak the corn in cold water for 20 to 30 minutes before boiling, then boil it on high heat to give it a bit more chew.
3. Add salt
When the water is boiling, add a little salt to amplify the sweetness of the corn.
