Baby Corn

Baby corn is an ear of corn harvested before the stalk is fully grown and they are picked as soon as the corn silks emerge from the ear tips. Fresh baby corn is tender, easy to cook, and is eaten whole. Since baby corn is immature, it doesn’t carry the same level of starches and sugars as fully grown corn. The bright yellow baby corn will be sweet while the white baby corn will be a bit starchier. Crystal Valley hand-harvests baby corn from Guatemala year-round.
