Baby corn

(also known as young corn, cornlets, or baby sweetcorn) is a cereal grain taken from corn (maize) harvested early while the stalks are still small and immature. It typically is eaten whole—including the cob, which is otherwise too tough for human consumption in mature corn. Because of its crunchy, pleasing texture and mild flavor, baby corn makes a great addition to many dishes.

Description

Baby corn

Baby Corn is a cereal grain taken from corn (maize) harvested early while the stalks are still small and immature. It typically is eaten whole—including the cob, which is otherwise too tough for human consumption in mature corn—in raw, pickled, and cooked forms. Baby corn is the immature form of regular corn on the cob. It has a mild, neutral flavor similar to hearts of palm, and a tender texture. Baby corn is common in stir-fry dishes, but you can also use it in soups, salads, curries, and more.

  • Some additional information:Thailand is the main exporter of baby corn.
    Baby corn is harvested when the emerging corn silks are about 2 to 3 inches long.
    Baby corn needs a good water supply due to its short production period.
    Most of the baby corn exported to Europe and the US is sold in cans to avoid spoilage.

Baby corn Taste

Baby corn has a similar flavor to corn, but because it’s picked early, it lacks the starch that gives summer corn its characteristic sweetness. Instead, it has an earthy, almost nutty flavor and a satisfying pop in texture.

Is it the same as sweet corn?

Baby corn and sweet corn are pretty much the same food with a few key differences. Baby corn is regular corn that has been picked before it has matured fully. The cobs are much smaller, just a few inches in size. It is less starchy, low in carbs, and contains more nutrients than regular corn.
