Corn Husks are the outside green leaves on a cob of corn, that we usually peel off and discard. They can be used as packets to wrap food for cooking, mainly steaming, whether they are fresh or dried. They impart a delicious maize flavour to the meal. The husks are typically dried and kept for cooking.
The outer layer of a corn ear is called a corn husk. Whole corn husks that are purchased from a store are frequently sun, air or oven dried. The majority of times, boiling water must be used to soften maize husks before using them. The majority of the time, corn husks are used to enclose items that will be steamed or baked, giving the food a very mild corn flavour. Although they can be used to present food, maize husks should be thrown away after use because they are not edible..
