Baby Corn

Baby Corns are the tiny, immature ears of maize commonly used in Asian stir-fries, salads and as a crunchy garnish; they’re prized for a mild sweet flavor and crisp-tender texture. Nutritionally they are a light, low-fat vegetable that provides 2g of fiber per 100g, along with small amounts of protein and vitamin C. Because they’re low in fat and relatively nutrient-dense for their calorie content, they make a handy addition to vegetable-forward dishes and pair well with stronger flavors and sauces.
