Sweet corn cobs are long (20-25cm) and cylindrical in shape. The cobs are enclosed in several overlapping, papery-thin, leaf-like, pale green-brown husks. Inside the husks are parallel rows of golden-yellow, small bead-like seeds with soft cotton-like threads (or silks) running from the seeds to the top of the cob. Our kernels have soft skins and are sweet and milky inside.
