Sweet corn is the result of a naturally occurring recessive mutation in the genes which control conversion of sugar to starch inside the endosperm of the corn kernel. Sweet corn is picked when still immature (the milk stage) and prepared and eaten as a vegetable, unlike field corn, which is harvested when the kernels are dry and mature (dent stage).

The tomatoes you’ll find year-round in the grocery store are hybrids, which means that humans have cultivated and bred them for specific characteristics. Beefsteaks tomato, which can be either heirloom or hybrid, is notable for its size: it can weigh in at over a pound each, with a diameter of six or more inches. Also known as Roma or paste tomatoes, plum tomatoes are oval-shaped and smaller than beefsteaks. And let's not forget the baby tomatoes: the cherries, grapes, and cocktails. Cherry tomatoes are small, round guys with thin skins that squirt juice everywhere when you bite into them.
