any corn can be made to be sweet. you boil water and the corn to make fuctose glutose and you have sweet corn

AnswerSweet corn normally is sweet because of two genes, the su1 (sugary) gene and the sh2 (shrunken-2) gene. If the su1 is recessive, you have normal sweet corn such as the hybrid Golden Bantam Cross. If the sh2 gene is recessive, you have a supersweet such as Supersweet Jubilee. The very sweetest sweet corn varieties have both genes recessive, but are somewhat difficult to grow because they have very little starch reserves in the endosperm of the seed.
