Furthermore, can you eat the cob of a corn?
A corncob, also called cob of corn, is the central core of an ear of corn (also known as maize in Spanish-speaking countries). Young ears, also called baby corn, can be consumed raw, but as the plant matures the cob becomes tougher until only the kernels are edible.
Also question is, what part of corn do you eat?
The kind people eat on the cob (typically in the summertime) is known as sweet corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa), and it makes up only one percent of the corn grown in the U.S. each year. Sweet corn is harvested during the summer months when the tops of the husks start to turn brown.
Corn kernels are the fruits of corn (called maize in many countries). The kernel comprise endosperm, germ, pericarp, and tip cap. One ear of corn contains roughly 800 kernels in 16 rows.
