I haven’t seen you make “How does it grow?” in awhile now. I miss those 😢

[@kaushikrao7868]

Agreed!

[@srijanashrestha7615]

Me too😢

[@TrueFoodTV]

Thanks for your patience! We're working on an awesome two-part HDIG as I write this. Stay tuned!

[@FAST3RCA]

Can't wait! :D@@TrueFoodTV

[@edogawasherlock3049]

Same 😅

[@clementine.6.2.2]

you can stir fry baby corn even with its silk intact, the silk is super flavorful . Salad, roast, deep fried, stir fry, it’s such a versatile veggie

[@michelegrice4938]

That's good to know, Thankyou

[@TrueFoodTV]

Great tip! Does the silk burn at all when it's stir-fried?

[@clementine.6.2.2]

@@TrueFoodTV no because it’s pretty moist if it’s fresh ☺️ but for it to has the best texture, separate the corn and the silk and put the silk in when the baby corns are almost done cooking and stir it for 1-2 minutes.

Raccoons will stop at nothing--including scaling fences--to get sweetcorn. They always seem to strike about a day before the sweetcorn is ready, so I'm thinking maybe baby corn will avoid that fate. I'll give it a try next year Greetings from Pennsylvania.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes, give this a try! I'm confident you'll get to enjoy it before the raccoons.

[@ofrecentvintage]

Thank you for leaving this comment. We have some pretty formidable raccoons in my city 😅 and I've seen them cut through my garden. I'm hoping to grow corn (baby & otherwise) for the first time this year and didn't even think of raccoons as a factor.

[@ROGER2095]

The problem I have growing corn - I live next to a forest - is that a few days before I'm ready to harvest, skunks and raccoons come and get the crop before I do. I wouldn't even mind if they took a few ears and ate them, but they take just one bite out of every ear they can find.

[@billyd7628]

i just noticed the aerial roots on the corn. do you ever notice a gel growing on them? some corn have aerial roots like that and they get a get substance that has nitrogen fixing bacteria that feeds the corn nitrogen in exchange for sugars.

[@coloredcoat]

Many accounts of the native Americans tell of the green corn festivals and dishes made from immature ears of corn. Makes sense to use it like a vegetable, I had no idea these specific varieties existed. Figures these varieties do exist though, corn being one of those super developed plants. Love your videos, learn something new every time.

[@zikrysigrun9402]

Greetings from Malaysia.. my mom always use baby corn in chicken Tom yum.

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

rabbit and giant gourami fish can eat corn silk

[@act4232]

That’s awesome! Corn is a truly amazing plant. This fits into something we’ve been researching. Fast yielding corn with benefits of using fodder for livestock’s. Will try this one over the winter in the fodder greenhouses. Thank you for the video really enjoyed it!

[@blenderbenderguy]

Very interesting..... definitely going to try this next year. Thanks!

[@tonyvelez5448]

thats very helpful info ! thanks !

[@PawPawMountain]

Amazing! So was the corn!!

[@judimcrae9231]

Corn is easier to pick if you pick it very early in the morning.

[@MagicGate814]

or with a knife/shears :))

[@thesniperkingnl]

Why?

[@pd6569]

Nicole, last year I tried growing corn (7B - Virginia) but exactly as you explained I got only partial germination. I never thought of trying baby corn but armed with this video, I will give it a try next year. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos over the years. Be safe and well.

[@TrueFoodTV]

You're so welcome! Sweetcorn is tricky - so many challenges, from weather to pests.

[@DuyNguyen-lo2mm]

thank you for sharing. I definitely add these to our garden.

[@REALYROSEY]

Great video and exactly the information I was looking for. 😊 Thanks.

[@Mustafa-kg9vi]

We would like you to post more videos because your content is very good. Greetings from Turkey.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Thank you so much! Will do my best!

[@mwuc10]

Thanks Nicky. Good to know. It was very informative and an eye opener.

[@TheNewYear75]

great info! thanks for sharing

[@mikaelandpond9093]

Thanks for the info ❤

[@kelliott7864]

A fun tip for removing tassels from corn: Shortly after the tassel emerges, firmly grasp the smooth tassel stalk just below the lower tassels and slowly pull straight up. They will slide right out.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Nice!

[@johnh8268]

Great video Jolly! You look fabulous in your True Food t-shirt today!

[@TrueFoodTV]

Why thank you, sir!

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

what a great person - fun, smart, and beautiful

[@dragonmammma]

Based on this video, I just got chires seeds from Baker Creek to try out next year. Fingers crossed, I hope I'm successful! (Zone 9b, N. California.) I have noticed that I've had way more success with cherry tomatoes than large tomatoes, and small varieties of peppers rather than full-size bell peppers.

[@Myerp117]

baby corn and cottage cheese yummy for my tummy

[@areenarena]

Good idea

[@sheni6004]

Very nice corn ,

[@marchosiasu9700]

Fantastic video, thank you so much for all the tips and info! I love your vibe. One question though, how much do you really get from, say, 8 plants? I'd like to incorporate it in my garden this year but I have limited space and i'm wondering if the amount would be satisfying. Do you get continuous harvest or does it produce once and die off?

[@MagicGate814]

that's the corn we used for stir-fry in asian cuisines.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes, indeed!

[@NiX_aKi]

I love sautéing baby corn with oyster mushrooms and cabbage 🤤🤤

[@kingsleyikenna7794]

I've missed your videos, ma'am.

[@SweetCherryGrower]

You are so amazing

[@TrueFoodTV]

Aw, thanks for watching!

[@SweetCherryGrower]

@@TrueFoodTV you are one of the best think ever happen to youtube

[@nonabahari]

The pants already done the pollination - that's why you got some baby corns

[@ranmyaku4381]

Does the plant keep producing more or do you get a 1x harvest and how many do you typically get?

[@homernextdoor5950]

Love all your vids "Alyssa " lol. Is this something like we can buy in a can but better? Cheers from Canada!😁🇨🇦🌶

[@TrueFoodTV]

Ha! Haven't been called Alyssa in a while. ;) Yes, same stuff, but the fresh is more flavorful to be sure.

[@tichu7]

How long of a window is there to harvesting the corn? I worry that it goes from nothing to bowls of harvest, and back to nothing in just a couple of weeks.

[@yeahyeah5976]

Ngl I didn’t know baby corn could be so good

[@planetbap9672]

Necole, I'm always loving you... Keep it up! ^_~

[@AddictOfLearning]

Why worry about hurting the stalk? Will the corn stalk produce more corn after harvesting all the cobs?

[@Leisyt123]

My corn had those roots too I was so confused so that means there’s more than one stock? What do you do just leave it cover them with soil?

[@lindaferguson593]

How do you collect seed from these in order to grow next year?

[@querubincastro1311]

long time no see ms nicole..good day

[@gnome2024]

Absolutely mesmerizing! 👏🌽 Your video about growing baby corn has me hooked! 🌱 Your passion shines through and Im already envisioning my own little corn oasis thanks to your expertise. 🌽✨ Nicole, Ive watched so many of your videos by now. Your content is more than just amazing... its a captivating journey that leaves me eagerly anticipating my next gardening adventure. You've got a dedicated fan right here! 🌱🌟

[@TrueFoodTV]

Thank you for the kind words! 🤗

[@DouglasJWalker]

Interesting.

[@LaineyBug2020]

So, is there a variety of sweet baby corn?

[@rockys7726]

I just get my baby corn in a can from the Asian store.

[@TrueFoodTV]

I was surprised how much more flavorful the fresh is from the canned.

[@rockys7726]

@@TrueFoodTV I would take fresh over canned any day. It's just that I don't have to wait 3 months to get it. lol

[@AllenBarclayAllen]

Nice ! 0:30

[@greglangot1538]

Is that baby corn have seeds available in the agricultural supply

[@commonsence8223]

Probably not. This is an heirloom variety, not a common hybrid.

[@peterdelossantos5987]

Also steam the baby corn and the water to be used put little salt…

[@rogue_nomad]

They will be perfect in chop suey.. yum!

[@bigcatfish5029]

I'LL LET MINE MATURE .

[@GatorMike79]

I thought this was Alyssa Milano for a minute LOL Enjoyed the video

[@jrx2662]

what zone do you live in?

[@ismail_121]

Corn in USA is GMO 😊

[@TrueFoodTV]

Not this stuff!

[@gail3073]

What zone are you in? I'm in 9a

[@Sudz3]

"Dye ah tome" -acious because they are made of Petrified Diatoms

[@macrosense]

Do you have any corn?

[@bcatbb2896]

the only way to get baby corn if through a can in my city

[@mwuc10]

❤

[@danacoleman4007]

[@harindersingh1365]

You don't have lentil , that's why you grow wierd crop

[@stelity]

but but but how does it grow???

Click the videos at the end and you'll find out!

[@viralpatel5338]

It's that I've let you plant based sentient alien where to visit Earth they would judge us looking at we are eating their kinds while they are baby

[@dioandronas6269]

Nice video, I just wish you could optimise your sound, there is a significant volume difference from side to side, makes me want to click off, so annoying.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Thanks for letting me know! I'll look into this.

[@duriancacaoboy964]

Corn is so highly inflammatory like almonds but nobody has the knowledge and sense to improve their health

[@crowellovecraft7289]

Sounds like a horrible waste of time tbh
