- Fresh baby corn has a
crisp texture and a subtle, slightly sweet corn flavor.
- Although almost all
the baby corn found in the United States is pickled or canned and imported from Asia, fresh baby corn is easy to grow in
the Pacific Northwest.
- Baby corn is no longer
a delicacy or specialty food reserved for salad bars and Asian restaurants; it is a locally
produced delicious treat to eat raw or cooked in many recipes.
- Baby corn’s miniature
size makes consumers think that it grows from dwarf corn plants, but
the tiny ears of baby corn are simply immature ears from regular-sized corn plants.
- Specialty varieties are available for
baby corn production, but baby corn can also be harvested from many common
corn varieties.
