Things to Do with Corn
There is no shortage of things to do with your corn when you are finished with it. Corn comes in a myriad of varieties. Most widely known varieties of corn, the most valuable one being dent corn or field corn which is primarily used as cattle feed, sweet corn that is often sold on road side stands and of course the most loved corn- popcorn.
Fresh sweet corn on the cob is one of life’s great pleasures. It is important to remember that corn starts converting its sugars into starch right after being harvested. The best way eat corn is just to eat it on the cob. Simply unwrap it, boil it, and eat it. Put lots of butter on it. You can roast it on the grill to make it really savory. Moreover, sweet corn can also be eaten uncooked if the ear is plucked before it is fully mature.
Corn can also be used to make flour for cooking. Corn flour was used by the Native Americans to make many corn based products and is what is used in tortillas and taco shells. Corn is ground into a fine consistency. Sometimes this corn flour serves as a thickening agent in an array of delectable food dishes. Corn is also put to use for making really good sauces, cakes, puddings, sweets and desserts because the starch acts as a thickening agent.
Additionally, corn is also a staple cereal, second to rice and wheat. It helps to produce a number of essential industrial products as well. The main ingredient in corn which is starch, when dried can be used to convert into dextrin or can even be put to use in its present state. In case, it is not dried, it can be processed into sugars and syrups. Oil, which is extracted from the corn seed is used in the manufacture of soap and glycerin and if refined in extreme conditions, can serve the purpose as a salad oil or can used for cooking purposes as well. You will find corn starch and corn syrup in all the food products on the shelf. Corn is cheap so it is used in everything, which is not always good.
Corn is also an outstanding feed for livestock attributing to its benefits of high in energy, easily digestible and low in fiber features. The corn crop can be either cut green after it is harvested or dried for fodder to be given to farm animals. You can give cows or pigs corn for food to feed them and fatten them up. It is a cheap feed too and a lot easier way to feed many cows than having them all graze in a field.
All of the parts of the corn can be used. The husk can be braided and weaved to make masks, baskets, sleeping mats. The starch can be used to strengthen fabrics and clothes. You can also use ethanol to drive your car. There are lots of uses for corn and if you grow a good crop of corn, you’ll be able to eat your corn a lot of different ways.
About the Author
Matthew Kepnes has been growing corn for a number of years and loves to eat corn roasted in the husk after it has been freshly picked. You can find more tips on growing corn and about the different types of corn at his website on the subject.
How can I tell the difference between corn on the cob which is edible to people and that grown for animals?
last year I bought corn on the cob which wasn't cooked after three hours cooking,a friend told me it was probably grown just for animal consumption.
"Field corn", is the corn usually grown for animal feed. It is not harmful to eat it but it is very tough and doesn't taste very good. The ears and the kernels are both smaller than sweet corn and the kernels will look a little shriveled compared to the very plump kernels of sweet corn. Otherwise, it is difficult to tell them apart.
