The difference between corn steamed and boiled is that the flavor is different, the nutritional value is different, and the cooking time is different.

The flavor of steamed corn is relatively sweeter and softer, retaining the flavor of the corn itself. Cooked corn, on the other hand, is relatively more robust in flavor, but may be slightly lighter.

When corn is steamed, the process of steaming is relatively gentler and retains the nutrients in the corn, whereas boiled corn will result in the loss of nutrients to some extent. Therefore, in terms of nutritional value, steamed corn is more conducive to health.

Steaming corn takes longer because the process of steaming is gentler, and it takes longer for the corn to cook through naturally. However, boiled corn will take less time to cook, usually 20-30 minutes to cook.
