Baby corn is an ear of maize that has been harvested when it is still young, usually when the silks have not yet emerged or have just done so, and before fertilisation, depending on the cultivar cultivated. Baby corn’s young, dehusked ears can be consumed as a vegetable because of their delicate sweetness and popular crispiness. Each and every discipline and area of life can benefit from baby corn.
It is a component in soups, deep-fried baby corn with beef, rice, and other vegetables, and the Chinese meal ChopSuey. Baby corn is as nutrient-dense as any other common vegetable. It pairs well with a variety of vegetables, is simple to prepare, and may also be consumed raw.
