Baby Corn

Baby corn is harvested at an early stage of growth, before the kernels fully develop, giving it its signature petite size, tender texture, and delicate sweetness. Carefully timed harvesting ensures each ear maintains its ideal size of approximately 9–10 cm in length and 1.5 cm in diameter, delivering a crisp bite and fresh flavor perfect for a variety of culinary applications.
