Corn

Corn, also known as maize, is a staple grain in many cultures around the world. It has a sweet and slightly earthy flavor and a crunchy texture. Corn is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Fresh corn on the cob is often boiled or grilled and served with butter and salt. Corn kernels can also be used in salads, soups, and stews, or ground into flour to make tortillas and cornbread. When selecting corn, look for ears that are firm and plump with tight, green husks. Avoid ears that are dry, brown, or have worm damage. Store corn in the refrigerator for up to a week, and cook it as soon as possible for the best flavor and texture.
