I love peeling off the husk of corn and finding little jewels inside. Our organic farmer has dropped off their heirloom corn and they were extra juicy and sweet even eaten raw.
Corn is one of the most grown crops in the world, mostly used for manufactures (such as DEADLY high fructose corn syrup!!) and for livestock. When you are buying corn, it is important to choose organic / heirloom variety as they are likely to be GMO if not labelled.
Corn in raw food cuisine is easy to use. I have made amazing corn soup often and corn shells for tortilla and tacos. These corn cakes turned out really well too. Hope you get to try them
