Why is Taber corn so popular

Many of us love corn, especially as a summer food. Even one of the southern Alberta festivals, the Taber Cornfest, pays homage to this special vegetable. So, what makes Taber corn so special? James Johnson, owner and grower of Johnson Fresh Farms, explains why Taber corn is so unique and sought after. Johnson also says there are challenges in growing his popular corn. Research indicates that corn is fairly healthy and is a low glycemic index food. That means it is digested slowly and does not cause harmful spikes in blood sugar.
