This file contains only information specific to the production of baby corn. For a complete guide to sweet corn cultural practices, see the file Sweet Corn for Processing For information on baby corn from Washington State University, see Baby Corn Production .
All baby corn is imported already processed from countries with low labor costs.
It is hand harvested and hand husked from immature corn at or within 1-2 days after silking. Varieties with small kernels and long ears are particularly suited. Excellent for freezing. Isolation Isolation from other types of corn does not affect the baby corn crop as the ears are harvested before pollination. However, adjacent sweet corn plantings could be affected by pollen from baby corn varieties of unlike genetic background.
