Baby corn, often referred to as immature corn or sweet corn, is characterized by its small size, tender texture, and sweet flavor. Typically harvested early, baby corn is commonly used in stir-fries, salads, and as a garnish due to its delicate crunch. It is low in calories and a good source of vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as dietary fiber.

Baby corn is primarily grown in warm climates, with major production areas including Thailand, India, and the United States. It thrives in well-drained soil and requires plenty of sunlight and moisture for optimal growth. This versatile vegetable is popular in Asian cuisine and increasingly gaining popularity in other parts of the world for its unique taste and nutritional benefits.
