Stowell's Evergreen. Because it's an old variety, and I like old varieties. And you can cut the stalks, and store it inside for longer than most (according to what I read anyway).

Me, too. I like the old varieties. I like my corn to taste like corn and butter and have a nice pop to the kernels.

I don't want my corn to be soft and taste like candy.

Ditto. I like my corn to taste like corn--I grow Golden Bantam. If I had more room, I'd also grow Country Gentleman.

Home gardeners can grow all of them. Grow the one that best suits your taste buds. The old types like Country Gentleman(Shoepeg), Stowell's Evergreen, Howling Mob, Black mexican, Truckers favorite are just a step above field corn. More modern Su's like Golden Bantum, Merit, have slightly more taste. Se's Sugar Dots, Kandy korn etc are sweeter more tender and hold thier flavor and texture longer. ( this group is my favorite) Sh2's are the supersweets, very sweet hold longer than than the others. I don't like the texture and for me too sweet. This group also requires isolation from other types. The newest group are the synergistics which have have some of the qualities of the other groups, but do not require isolation.
Let YOUR taste buds guide you.

I'm old-fashioned about the flavor of homegrown corn so, with the limited space I have to grow corn for fresh eating only, I plant the old-fashioned, su type.

But on the rare occasions that I've lived in a place with enough space to grow enough corn to freeze I pick the sweeter, modern types because, to my taste buds, they taste fresher after processing than the corn that tastes best fresh does.

I grew Sugar Enhanced (se) last year (Delectable hybrid --bicolor) and was very happy with it. I didn't want to chance not liking a super sweet.

This year I'm going to add Ruby Queen, another se, for the red color.

I'm used to store bought sweet corn so even the worst garden corn is probably better.

My personal favorite corn is Sun and Stars, and Sh2 from Burpee. I also like Sugar Pearls, an Se, and Ruby Queen, another Se.

I have tried quite a few corns, and found that even within a class, there is a lot of variability. I've found various Sh2 varieties that I didn't think were as good as Ruby Queen.

A lot of it boils down to your personal preference and is influenced by growing conditions and harvest practices.

I like tender and somewhat sweet corn..kernels that are smaller and are not real chewy or starchy...ergo I like the SE+ ones best.

I have grown one of the newer types [Montauk] which is 25% sh2 and 75% se+. I cannot say it is better than Incredible yellow or bi-color Ambrosia.

Another vote for Sugar Pearl here. We love the flavor and the texture, and it also is a good producer.

Agreed, there is a lot of variability among cultivars in a given group. Mid season and late maturing varieties are generally better than early and second early varieties.
Sugar Dots my favorite se bicolor {{gwi:17081}}

I've tried 30-35 varietes in the past 30 years.My family likes the augmented Sh2.They like it sweet and also say that the Se's are mushy.No better than frozen corn.Augments have some SE genes wich make it more tender.

Our favorite is Tendersweet 277A.With the Mirai's right behind.This year I am planting the earliest Sh2 I can find.....Northern Supersweet(yellow).Followed by Mirai 421(white),then Vision(yellow) and lastly 277A(bi-color.)

I seem to have settled on SU and SE varieties in my garden. Last year I had Ruby Queen and Bi-Licious (both SEs) with I thought were excellent. I've grown Mirai and Applause in the past, but found them too sweet for my taste.

I've done the Maple Sugar variety from Burpee for a few years (I just looked and I could find what category it is in). It has poor germination at times but when it comes time to eat it always has an impressive taste. It gets many "wows!" from family, friends, and neighbors.
But I and most people I share with like the sweeter taste. If candy and veggies had the same nutritional value - I'd take the candy every time ;)
