Question

One cup of a popular sweetened corn cereal contains 14 grams of added sugars. how many teaspoons of sugar does this amount equal?

Answer 1

One cup of a popular sweetened corn cereal contains 14 grams of added sugars. 3.5 Teaspoons of sugar are required to equal the amount.

Sweet corn, also known as sugar corn and pole cor is a type of maize farmed for human consumption that has a high sugar content.

The genes that regulate the conversion of sugar to starch inside the corn kernel's endo-sperm have a naturally occurring recessive mutation, which is the cause of sweet corn.

Sweet corn is harvested at an immature stage and cooked and consumed as a vegetable rather than a grain, in contrast to field corn types planted for animal fodder, which are gathered when the kernels are dry and developed (dent stage).

Since the maturity process involves the conversion of sugar to starch, sweet corn does not keep well and must be consumed right away to avoid the kernels becoming tough and starchy.
