Sweet corn is easy to crush than maize because sweet corn kernels have a soft,

starchy endosperm, while maize kernels have a hard, tough endosperm. Sweet corn
kernels are also smaller and thinner than maize kernels, which makes them easier to
crush.

The endosperm is the inner layer of a grain kernel. It is made up of starch and
protein. The starch in the endosperm of sweet corn is soft and easy to break down,
while the starch in the endosperm of maize is hard and tough. This is because the
starch in sweet corn is made up of shorter chains of glucose molecules, while the
starch in maize is made up of longer chains of glucose molecules.

The thinner and smaller size of sweet corn kernels also makes them easier to crush.
This is because the kernels have less surface area to protect them from being
crushed. Maize kernels, on the other hand, have a larger surface area, which makes
them more difficult to crush.

In addition to the differences in the endosperm, sweet corn kernels also have a
thinner pericarp, or outer layer. The pericarp is the layer that protects the
kernel from the environment. The thinner pericarp of sweet corn makes it easier to
crush the kernel. Maize kernels, on the other hand, have a thicker pericarp, which
makes them more difficult to crush.

The combination of the soft endosperm, thin pericarp, and smaller size of sweet
corn kernels makes them easier to crush than maize kernels.
