Yellow corn contains a lot of carbohydrates and beneficial vitamins for the body. When consuming corn, the body derives much energy and the necessary calories for its activities, making it popular in winter and spring. Corn is used in many ways, either by grinding it after drying to obtain starch, boiling it for consumption, or frying it to make popcorn. Additionally, oil can be extracted from corn for cooking. In this article, we will present various methods for boiling corn.

Boiling Corn with Husk
This method involves boiling the corn ears without removing the outer husk, which is removed only when fully cooked, as many people do this to preserve the original taste of the corn.
