Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Corn on the Cob

How does the husk help the ear of corn while it grows?
The husk forms a natural protective jacket that shields the tender kernels from harsh weather, drying winds, and hungry insects until the grain matures fully.
What are the fine threads found under the corn husk?
Those threads are called corn silk, and each strand connects to an individual kernel. They catch pollen carried by wind across the field so that each seed can develop properly.
What foods are made from harvested corn kernels?
Corn kernels can be cooked fresh on the cob, dried to make cornmeal, popped into popcorn, or ground into flour for baking breads and tortillas.
