Kernels: Another part of the corn is called the Kernel. The Kernels are the corn seeds as they are laid on the cob. The Kernels are what we eat from the corn.
Silks: The third part is the Silk which is what we are discussing in this article.
When I was a child, I called this part of a corn “Corn bear bear”; meaning corn beard. As a child, I thought that corn grows bears.
RECOMMENDED FOR YOU:
Corn Cob: The last part of the corn is the corn cob. Corn cob is the bed where kernels are laid. It is soft but becomes hard with time, especially when it passes through drying processes. People place no value on a corn cob. But it is money.
People have the habit of eating the corn and set the rest of the parts on fire or throw them into the bush, including the silks.
Do not throw the corn silk away anymore. Follow this simple step and learn how to use it as a medicine for your stomach.
