What is Corn?

Corn is a starchy vegetable, grain and fruit that grows on top of a stalk in sunny climates and fertile soil. Corn can be about a foot long and is comprised of many small kernels that are attached to a hard and inedible cob. The kernels are covered in corn silk; white hair like strands and wrapped in green leaves. The kernels are the only part of the corn that is eaten. These kernels are usually yellow and very juicy with a crunch, when cooked. Corn can be eaten on the cob, or removed to create an endless variety of dishes.
