Default Corn silk

Does anyone here eat corn silk? I love it. It is so sweet. I like it
better than alfalfa, and if you're going to toss it, keep me a nice serving.


yes, since i microwave the corn in the husk
without peeling it that leaves the silk inside.
it tastes as good as the corn does. i do not
eat the brown dried stuff on the ends, just
the green strands along the ear.

i cut the end with the dried stuff off,
peel back the husks and use them as a handle
when eating.
