Baby Corn
Estimated Inventory, ea : 0
Description/Taste
Baby corn is very small, around 3 three to 4 inches in size. It can be found still in its small husk or shucked. The ear is very flexible and its kernels extremely small, still firmly attached to the tender, edible core. Baby corn has a mild taste, because the sugars have yet to develop, but still offers a familiar nutty sweetness with vegetal accents.
Seasons/Availability
Baby corn is available in the summer.
Current Facts
Baby corn is simply a young ear of corn that has been harvested prematurely to maintain its delicate texture and small size. It is picked before fertilization, a couple of days after the corn silks emerge from the developing husks. Often found as a canned vegetable, the fresh baby corn ears are far superior in taste and texture.
