  • Eating raw sweetcorn!

    I have recently taken to eating sweetcorn raw, seconds after picking! It tastes delicious and the sweetcorn milk, which you dont get when you cook it, is addictive. It tastes a bit like the sugary milk I remember getting in tins when I was a sprog!
    I know that broad and kidney beans nead to be cooked before eating but surely I'll be ok eating sweetcorn raw? Please don't tell me its poisonous
    It is so nice, I dont ever intend cooking it again!

        A lot of really fresh veg need no cooking. You'll come to no harm.

          There's a saying about sweetcorn that goes something like this: "Walk slowly to gather your sweetcorn but dash back quickly when picked". Something about they taste sweetest when just picked! DDL

            I read somewhere that 'in the olden days' they used to advise you to take the pan of boiling water to the plant, so you could get it cooking immediately after picking.
            As for eating it raw, you can eat the baby corn raw, so I don't see why it would be any different for regular sweetcorn. (Don't sue me if you die!)

              Mine was so sweet you could have eaten it raw! Yes and I got the water boiling before I harvested it. Just two plants this year, but loads next!

              Have you tried growing baby corn Snadger?

                If you mean that horrid stuff that you put in stir fries no thanks!

                Its a shame you can't get 'corn milk'like you get coconut milk. Its the milk I like!!!! Sorry to go on about it but it really is nice

                PS If I was a woman I would think I was preggers!!!

                  I've just had a cob raw as it wasn't quite full of kernals,luvverly,then I picked another one,full of kernals so dropped into boiling water for 2 minutes and ate it on its own.Can't decide which I prefer,I can tell you that the most planted crop next year will be...........sweetcorn.

                      Can anyone recommend a baby corn? I think I will give the runner beans a miss next year (not much of a harvest so far) and go for corn.

                        I imagine the baby corn will be multi headed? Not like the four max I get from normal corn

                          Unsure about the babycorn - but I have been informed by my son that i have to grow runner beans next year, he likes to eat them straight off the plant, raw, yeuch!!!
