Sweet and Sticky Corn from Shimen Mountain

Sweet and Sticky Corn from Shimen Mountain

　　Sweet and sticky corn from Shimen Mountain is cultivated in the naturally favorable, pollution-free environment at the base of Shimen Mountain. The region features an average elevation of 1,600 meters, a frost-free period of 180 days, an annual rainfall of 600 millimeters, and 2,390 hours of sunlight per year. The large diurnal temperature variation, together with loose, deep soil, results in corn that boasts higher contents of protein, amino acids, fat, and dietary fiber compared to regular corn. In particular, it contains 17%–18% more essential trace elements such as iron, zinc, and calcium that are vital for human health, and an impressive 7.5 times more selenium — a trace element known for its anti-cancer properties. This makes it a uniquely flavorful, aromatic, and nutritious specialty fruit-vegetable product.
