Corn silk water can definitely be used for cooking, and it is a treasure. Although corn silk is not valuable, it is very useful. I will drink corn silk water as a drink in summer!
Small corn silks are very useful. I often see people around me pick up the corn silks thrown away from selling corn, dry them, put them in bags and drink the corn silk water all year round.
I usually wash the picked corn silk with clean water, and then use a bamboo curtain to dry it in the sun 3 to 4 times.
Pinch it gently with your hands. If it is crispy, it is dry and can be eaten for a year without going bad.
My dad has diabetes. I heard people say this is helpful. My dad can control his blood sugar very well after making tea.
The water boiled from corn silk has a slight sweetness. Children also like to eat it. My daughter also likes to drink it. It is suitable for all ages.
One time I cooked rice and soup with corn silk soup. My daughter thought I knew how to cook it with stock. I smiled softly and told her that it was boiled corn silk soup. My daughter said that I can turn waste into treasure and manage the household, and she gave me a big thumbs up.
Anyway, the general sentence is that corn silk has only advantages and no disadvantages. Use it to make rice as soon as possible. It will definitely be very fragrant.
Personally, I suggest you not to use corn silk water to make rice.
Personal thoughts: Whether we are cooking or cooking at home, the last thing we should do is complicate simple things.
When we go to the supermarket to buy rice, do we have our own unique selection conditions every time? Round-grained, long-grained, or all kinds of fragrant rice. First of all, it must be fresh and suitable for your taste.
What is the purpose of doing this?
Each type of rice has a different texture and taste. Of course you have your own preferences when eating it. It is best to highlight the taste of this ingredient.
Then you said, what’s wrong with me putting some corn silk?
Of course, you can just add corn.
But there is a problem when doing this. When the pot of rice is simmered, does it still taste like rice?
My wife especially likes to put some grains and nuts in her stewed rice, such as corn kernels, red dates, etc. Every time I eat this kind of rice, I try to pick out all the messy things. It's not that it doesn't taste good, or that it's not nutritious, but it just doesn't taste right.
We love eating meat very much here. The locals will mix rice and yellow rice, and the stewed rice is called "two rice dishes". The elderly in our family like to do this very much. It is a very unique method and has been recognized by many people. It is especially fragrant when combined with stewed meat.
Whether this practice originated from an accident or has been verified many times, it has become a habit. However, if you look at your neighbors, how many people know how to use corn? How about using water to stew rice?
No matter how you cook it, taste is the first priority. Of course, certain fitness meals are another matter.
Personal conclusion: You can definitely try this approach, but be prepared to be complained about by your family.
Every time I cook corn, I reluctantly clean off the whiskers and boil it together in a pot. The boiled water is filtered and used as tea in summer, otherwise it is used to cook porridge and rice. Corn silk water has a unique corn fragrance. Using it to cook rice or porridge is the icing on the cake and perfect.
Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that corn silk has diuretic, heat-relieving, liver-calming, choleretic, and swelling effects. It can be used to treat nephritis and edema, athlete's foot, hepatitis, moistening the lungs and relieving asthma, hypertension, cholecystitis, gallbladder and kidney stones, diabetes, bleeding gums, swollen lymph nodes and other diseases.
The cooked porridge is very fragrant
Hello everyone, let me tell you about my life experience and feelings. Corn, potatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and vegetables are all crops grown by every household in rural areas. Before the promotion of hybrid rice, the grain yield per acre was not high. Apart from paying some public grain to the brigade commune, there was not much left.
Farmers generally use the nooks and crannies, some idle land in front of and behind the house that cannot be planted with rice, to grow corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, soybeans and other crops to increase their food rations and ensure that the family does not go hungry.
Speaking of corn, let me share an interesting story about corn when I was a child. Looking back on it now makes me laugh out loud. I remember that when I was in the third grade of elementary school, my family did not grow corn, and I coveted corn. Three feet, what should I do if I fantasize? Somehow, I came up with a bad idea and went to the next village, Xiaowangzhuang, to steal corn from someone else’s house. The corn was very plump and attractive. After school, I put my small school bag on my back and walked in a hurry. I ran to the corn field in three steps and started to cut it. The big one had just opened three or five flaps when his big yellow dog discovered it and barked wildly. He thought to himself that he was really unlucky, what should I do? I should continue to run and flap a few times. When I was really thinking about it, I suddenly found that his youngest son came back after hearing the dog barking. He also found me. Someone stole his corn and stopped drying it. When he picked up the bricks on the ground, there was a violent burst. It hit me, so I had to dodge left and right, and scurry around to avoid being hit. This guy was 2 years older than me, and he was too tall to beat him. He was no match for me, my mother! I didn’t want the corn anymore, so I ran away quickly, but the good guy didn’t give up and chased me with the big yellow dog. I was so scared that I was pissed out of my mind. I was so panicked that I didn’t know which way to go. My shoes were all gone, but I didn’t know it. I didn’t care and ran for my life. I was barefoot and breathless. He didn't escape the tiger's mouth until he ran to our village. He didn't dare to chase him anymore and went back with the big yellow dog.
Corn silk is a medicinal material that has heat-clearing, detoxifying and diuretic effects. You can also boil water and drink it for long-term treatment of cholecystitis. In autumn, corn silk can be dried and boiled in water in winter. Don't hesitate to give it a try.
