It's pretty common here in Northeast India. I always prefer this over other types of corn.

I did NOT like it. I missed the crisp regular corn has. The texture was weird and make me feel like the corn was very overcooked. And the flavor was a no. There was no sweetness like I'm used to. So I felt like it was that cheap corn they use to feed farm animals.

Is that GMO?
I grew up eating waxy corn. I prefer it because of the chew. We have this dish of corn cook in sticky rice and coconut milk top with shredded coconut and a peanut salt seasoning. It's seriously delicious! Always run out really fast at our local morning market. But fresh waxy corn used for the dish is so hard to find in the States. The last time I had a proper version of it was 10 yrs ago. I dream about it sometimes 😢

Yes! I grew up eating these a lot cause we used to live near a korea town. Loved getting a container of these corn precooked.
My mom once forgot to take out the corn that was boiling and it turned black. Surprisingly good and caramelized
I got black sticky corn seeds for my garden!! Really hoping I can try this 😁😁😁
Newly harvested waxy corn is superior, it’s subtly sweet and chewy with a hint of the fresh grassy smell of the corn field 🍃🌽the texture also helps the smell and the sweetness linger longer in ur mouth, idk how to describe it but you can really taste the taste of nature when you eat waxy corn 🌽 👌🏻
When one of these grows from a crop of yellow corn, we call it king corn, its not eaten, instead its left to dry and used in decorations sort of like wreaths, my grandpa had a really pretty one, hanging above the fireplace, I'm from Portugal and these are old cultural traditions I was told about growing up, it was fun to go hunting for a king corn after the harvests, some even said it was lucky to find it, good memories 😊

I’ve never seen anybody eat maíz morada like that 😭. But yeah, my family’s from Peru and it’s used for a bunch of stuff!
Here in Philippines we have white corn used as corn rice, or corn coffee! My Boholano mother taught me that! Btw, by the way u describe it, I think it's the same way as White corn taste. But I think you should made it Binatog, as popular Filipino white corn desert! I wanna make Binatog out of that!
that last noise tickled my brain in the right spot 😅
I love waxy corn. This and lotus root are my favorite food textures.
In Costa Rica we use it to make a fermented beverage with ginger and sugar it's called "chicha" or "chicheme"
It is originally from Peru

@@apachejano1872 🤓 actually purple corn is native to South America specifically while corn in general seems to of originated in southern mexico. The name of purple corn is kʼculli in Quechua, as it was grown by the Inca. But yes, purple corn has appeared all over the Americas due to genetic variety of the plant but Incas grew maíz morada specifically into its own classification. So yes, you might find purple corn elsewhere but it is not necessarily maíz morada. Basically what you just said was “well you see chihuahua like breeds all over the world!” Just because one thing looks like something else does not make it the same thing 😊

Just because the maize morada variety comes from peru , doesn't mean all purple varieties comes from peru . This particular corn probably comes from Japan or China , it is not maize morada because maize morada is a flour corn , and isn't the color of corn shown in this video .. they bred a purple waxy variety on purpose a long time ago in Asia , after the Portuguese and Spanish brought corn from the Americas .. all I'm saying is it's hard to tell where a corn variety originally comes from because there are many that look similar that come from different places..

Peruvian here. We used them to make chica morada, a type of drink. My family never uses them to eat them like that but it looks delicious.
There’s a way to eat waxy corn! You have to eat it row by row so that the fibers don’t get stuck in your teeth and the resulting cob will look much cleaner!

Fun Fact: Corn is naturally red, purple, white, blueish black, and even multi-color combinations(especially in wild varieties) and became its standard yellow due to human experimentation and agriculture.🤓
Nature has so much to offer ❤ so happy so discover another edible item to eat
I grew up in Thailand when i was younger, and like how Japan has a sweet potato stand, we had steamed/boiled corn stand. Now in the US, i noticed the corn in Thailand was sweeter, chewier, and stickier, than the US sweet corn. Naming it wax corn doesn't sound appetizing xD but i promise its good, it comes in many other colors too ^^
It looks soooo pretty!!
I'd love to try it.
I hope you got an authentic one I’ve been seeing some videos of ones that are just dyed/flavored yellow corn.
"It looks black but its not" That gave me ideas
here in Guatemala there’s different types of indigenous corn including this one! very chewy is delicious ❤

It looks like the same texture of normal corn? I heard Americans only eat it sweet, so I must add: raw corn is super hard. It's better to cook in pressure (faster obviously). And it's sweet, you season with salt, and it's juicy and perfect.
I never liked boiled corn because it was too sweet for my taste. But if this is more like garlic toast, then it would sound more interesting

It is very starchy and not very sweet. Imagine a chewy corn with muted flavors. Good eating with some toppings 🫡
Sweet corn I may be used to, more like sweet corn I was forced into 😂 I grew up eating white field corn, it was the absolute best, haven’t been able to get any in 7 or 8 years all there is, is yellow sweet corn
I'm always curious about the corns every time I go to my local H mart. I want to understand all of them😂❤ thank you for making this video
Purple corn is my favorite
I didn't have this corn growing up. but we had a similar one that was multicolored. most people dried it for decor but it was jsut like this eaten. really delicious if you aren't expecting grocery store corn😊
We used to plant this waxy corn in our garden, I prefer this one rather than the sweet one
I only eat sweet corn. Don’t need to put anything on it, just eat as is 🤗
Ooh, waxy corn! This is the primary corn type grown here in Korea, and they are the ultimate comfort food when steamed with a pinch of sweetener🤤 Nothing can replace the feeling of munching on corn cobs during a long summer road trip to grandma's house...
I've never seen corn like this 🤎😲
I like the in-between kind of corn which is both waxy and a little bit sweet.
The conversation with the don jaun😂😂😂 though
I have never heard of waxy corn. Neat.
Every time I think of you, I think purple and this solidified😂 it I love your content😂
i'm korean and i love waxy corn :) we call it 찰옥수수 and the texture is so good, it really is just like sticky rice or rice cakes sometimes at street markets or in stalls during winter people will be selling steamed waxy corn (usually it's sweet corn now though) and it's always so delicious
I love it since I was a kid! 🤗
I've literally never seen anybody eat it off the cob 😅 in south American countries it's usually cut off the cob and turned into flour or something similar to polenta
I used to eat it just as regularly as white or yellow corn! I really like colored corn bc I like the texture
This is so good! My friends dad brought everyone a bottle of this purple corn juice from Peru! It was soooo good!
Wanna try this!
yeah in Mexico, at least in the southern part, we eat that a lot, they sell it all the time in the local markets and it's so good, I feel the smell and instantly get hungry
I first had waxy corn ready to eat at h-mart during the pandemic my mom and I loved it, we would by a lot and just snack on it
Oooh I wanna try
I grew up eating these! My mom would always buy them.
I drink purple corn juice and I love it. I wish I could find it more often.
You should try siam ruby queen corn. you can eat it raw without sideeffect but i still recommend boiling it. The downside is it's pretty rare.
I used to eat it as a kid but as I grew up they stopped selling which is kinda sad bc it tasted sooo good 😭😭😭
I ate that in a funtwan in Taiwan. They said it was healthy and it tasted very good.
It also tastes good if you fried 💓🤤

We here in the philippines call waxy corn malagkit and were fairly simple people, we either add salt, margarine, butter, or cheesepowder to season it and then! Munch!

it’s called chahao chujak in Manipur(India) and it’s a special type of sticky chewy more fragrant variety of corn like purple sticky rice.

i grew up eating purple waxy corn. for me, it wasn’t my personal favorite but i mean it could be anyone’s favorite! i grew up loving yellow corn it’s so sweet! i love the texture! i also personally don’t really like white corn since it’s really flavorless and obviously it had no flavor at all! but anyways, people have different opinions, so it’s always good to let them decide by themselves instead of deciding for them!❤

Waxy corn is common in Africa. Like really common. And it’s often roasted because it holds up really good to a bbq. Also non waxy form is common, but that is usually boiled because it has a sweetness to it. A good way to boil waxy corn is with a pressure cooker, it softens it easier.
In malaysia we have this kinda glutinous corn... but its in whitish colour. I didnt like but it is a memory that i had with my grandma
« I wonder if the corn kid would l like this » 😂wasn’t expecting that
Here in Brazil we eat regular corn but boiled like this, not roasted, I am surprised seeing it's not that common outside of my country! 🖤

Heat it on fire directly until the top of the kernels look a little burnt and put some green chilli based seasoning on it. No butter. That stuff is gold.
