Did you know that corn bread is more nutritious than even wheat bread? or that if you mix in beans and corn together (as in corn bread and chili) that you have a complete protein by mixing them? Corn is one of the healthiest vegetables you can incorporate into your diet – whether fresh ears, creamed corn, corn kernels, or corn bread. The fresh silk that grows in the ears can even be eaten raw right from the cob/ears, added to salads, or beneficial even dried from most herbal shops. The silk tones the bladder – well recommended even simply by steeping one teaspoon of silk per cup of water for 5 minutes, take one tablespoon every two hours, and you’ll be amazed at what imporvements you’ll see in your bladder. Corn silk also helps (homeopathically) for cystitis and kidney conditions, and corn smut for hemorrhage and lack of tone in the uterus. So think about corn, its an amazing gift from the earth all around.
