====Sen. McCann presenting SB 800 to make sweet corn the official vegetable of Illinois. It is a grain, not a vegetable.===
Corn seed is actually a vegetable, a grain, and a fruit. Corn seed is a vegetable because it is harvested for eating. (Usually sweet corn when grain is harvested at the milk stage.)
Thanks, Jasper. The Whole Grains Council agrees fresh corn is usually classified a vegetable, while dried corn is a grain. My apologies to Sen. McCann.
