Originally the baby corn concept was developed in Thailand as a by-product from the local dairy industry in the rural communities and is still practiced in some parts today.
The green plant material was grown predominantly for cattle feed and the cobs sold for human consumption. In the modern world today hybrid varieties have improved yield and quality. This product is specifically grown to produce 3-4 cobs per plant on tender young baby corn. The green plant waste material is now chopped and incorporated into the soil to improve organic matter content or utilised on bio-digesters for green energy.
