Often people associate baby corn with Chinese food and it is commonly referred to as Chinese corn.  However, baby corn is simply corn that has been picked before it matures.  It is naturally low in carbs, sugar and starch, but still tastes slightly sweet and contains that delicious corn flavor we love. It can sometimes be found fresh in the vegetable section and is also sold in cans.  It’s a perfect corn substitute in many recipes and can replace mature corn kernels in soups, stews and other baked goods.
