BABY CORN
Baby Corn or candle corn is a cereal grain taken from specialized corn (maize) plants and harvested early, while the ears are very small and immature. Baby corn ears are hand-picked as soon as the corn silks emerge from the ear tips, or a few days after. Corn generally matures very quickly, so the harvest of baby corn must be timed carefully to avoid ending up with more mature corn ears. Thailand has achieved considerable success in growing baby corn as an alternative to rice. Thailand began to take an interest in developing this crop in 1976 with the open-pollinated variety (OPV). Thailand is today a world leader in the exports of canned, glass jar and fresh baby corn.
Baby corn typically is eaten whole-- cob included-- in contrast to mature corn. Baby corn is eaten both raw and cooked. Baby corn is most common in Asian cuisine. In Thai cuisine baby corn is commonly eaten in stir-fry’s and in soups. While baby corn is commonly eaten in Thailand many Thai cuisine dishes call for the use of baby corn as a key ingredient.
