- Fresh baby corn has a crisp
texture and a subtle, slightly sweet corn flavor.
- Although almost all the baby
corn found in the United States is pickled or canned and imported
from Asia, fresh baby corn is easy to grow in the Pacific
Northwest.
- Baby corn is no longer a
delicacy or specialty food reserved for salad bars and Asian
restaurants; it is a locally produced delicious
treat to eat raw or
cooked in many recipes.
- Baby corn’s miniature size
makes consumers think that it grows from dwarf corn plants, but the tiny
ears of baby corn are simply immature ears from regular-sized corn
plants.
- Specialty varieties are
available for baby corn production, but baby corn can also be
harvested from many common corn varieties.
- The purpose of this
publication is to describe how to select a variety and grow baby
corn.
- There are two different
methods for producing baby corn. In the first method, baby corn is the
primary crop, and a variety is selected and planted to produce only
baby corn. In the second method, baby corn is the secondary crop in a
planting of sweet corn or field corn, and the variety
is selected to
produce either sweet corn or field corn.
- The decision whether to grow
baby corn either as a primary crop or as a secondary crop
will
influence variety choice, planting density, and fertilizer
rates.
- 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. Baby corn ears are typically 4.5 cm to 10 cm (1.75 inches - 4
inches) in length and 7 mm to 17 mm (1/4 inch - 2/3 inch) in
diameter.
- Baby corn adds a special,
gourmet touch to many dishes and salads. Its miniature size is
appealing, as is the taste, color and crunch.
- When ready to prepare,
remove the husk and
wash baby corn before cooking. Most people like
to steam baby corn for 5 minutes or until tender before using in other
dishes.
Baby corn can also be eaten raw; the entire tiny ear of corn
is edible, cob and all. Here are some easy ways to start using baby
corn.
- Serve raw with other
vegetables and a low-fat dip. Toss cooked baby corn into your
favorite pasta salad or tossed salad. Include baby corn in any
stir-fry dish. Add baby corn to spaghetti sauce, a rice and bean dish,
or casserole. Serve steamed baby corn as a side dish topped with a
bit of olive oil or butter and a dash of salt.
