Baby Corn

Baby corn is a miniature variety of corn harvested at a very early stage of development, before pollination occurs. It is known for its delicate, slightly sweet flavour and satisfying crunch. Unlike regular corn, the entire cob, including the core, is edible. It is a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, particularly in Thai and Chinese dishes, where it is added to stir-fries, fried rice, and noodle dishes. It also works wonderfully in salads, soups, and mixed vegetable dishes. Baby corn is available fresh, canned, or pickled, with the canned version being the most widely accessible in supermarkets.
