Corn takes on myriad configurations, from the classic corn on the cob to popcorn to more processed options including corn flour and corn syrup. How, then, do you classify such a versatile food?

While butter often makes everything better, you're missing out if you haven't swapped it for another creamy dairy product.

It can also be enjoyed right off the cob. But one of corn's downsides is its preparation. The picking, shucking and boiling might be enough to convince you to buy it frozen and microwave instead.
