Ingredients Descriptions and Photos
Corn on the Cob - Yellow
(Corn on the Cob - Yellow) Most people probably think of corn on the cob as a vegetable, but it is really a
grain. There are several common varieties of corn on the cob: white, mixed
white and yellow, and the yellow, pictured here. In our experience, we
have seen only the yellow variety sold frozen either on the cob or cut. We
have found a variety of flavors in corn on the cob depending on where it is
grown and how long it has been since it was harvested. The longer it has
been since the corn was harvested, the more bland the flavor, and the more
"gummy" the texture. We have found it best to buy only fresh corn on the
cob that has a nice green husk. See the nutritional chart below for
raw and cooked corn.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
