Corn

[AliCat]

OK I SWEAR that Im searching and going through all the past posts (Im on pg 68) but Im trying to find out how to use corn. Do you actually take the raw corn off the cob or do you have to dehydrate it before eating it?

Also, I ordered Alissas book! Yippie I cant wait to get it :p

I love raw corn! I eat it right off of the cob. In fact, I roll it in olive oil, and add a dash of Lemon Pepper (no salt) and sea salt on it. It's devine! Make sure you get sweet corn.

Also, I will cut off the kernles, put it in a salad with salsa that I make...it's to die for! Yum!

Good luck!

I too love raw corn! No oil, no salt, just plain, fresh out of the garden. YUM!

And to think that for way too many years, and I grew up on fresh grown corn, I never had a clue! Always cooked, always buttered. Always SAD.

Cut it off the cob; add other veggies and a tahini dressing. Can get this from Storm and Jinjee's ebook.

Alissa has corn chips which are delightful. Superb book.

Corn Salad with Cilantro Dressing

Salad:
4 fresh Corn Cobs, stripped
1 diced Red Bell Pepper
1 Avocado, cubed

Dressing:
1 minced Garlic
1 small Onion
½ Jalapeno Pepper
1 small bunch Cilantro
1 Lime, juiced
½ tsp Sea Salt (or to taste)
2 tsp Flax or Olive Oil
½ tsp Cumin Powder

In a medium bowl, combine the corn, red bell pepper & avocado. Set aside. In a blender, Vita-Mix or food processor, combine the dressing ingredients. Pulse until the cilantro is finely chopped. Mix the dressing with the salad. Enjoy!

I just picked up some sweet corn today. I 'm going to try some of your all's suggestions.

Corn is like RAW candy! You can't hardly just have one piece. I don't do anything to it but eat it all by itself. Raw and yummy!

Farmer up the road has AWESOME sweet corn.

I shuck one and eat it on the spot :)

It is sweet as can be :)

and at $3 a dozen? whoot I could almost OD on the stuff :P

Try it! remember make sure it is REALLY fresh.. the stuff from the store is too starchy :(

So I did it...I ate raw corn today. It was organic and from whole foods but it really didnt have any taste. It was in my fridge for 2 days so maybe that has something to do with it. It was OK but Id be fine not eating again :)

Raw corn is yummy! I spread avacado on it like its butter and use salt and pepper. SO GOOD! :)

I like making a summer salad with raw corn, tomato and summer squash, tossed with olive oil and celtic sea salt.

I had raw corn straight off the cob yesterday for the first time and it was amazing. Will be eating that all the time now.

I put my raw sweet corn today in my salad at lunch - it was awesome!! :D

Oh I LOVE fresh raw sweet corn, with just a touch of lemon juice, and a dash of salt, oh YUMMMY!!!

Raw corn is so much more lovely to eat than cooked.. it doesn't get stuck in your teeth and has the most amazing crunch!

Take it off the cob, with a little avocado, a little cherry tomato.. some Olive oil & ACV.. mmm

I don't eat it much anymore. All the talk of GM & mycotoxins turned me away from it, but to each their own. It also makes me feel tired.
