I love baby corn. I always keep a can around. mostly I use it for stir fry and when I do I have to try hard not to shove half the can in my mouth while I'm getting it ready. Every grocery around me has had it most of my life in the Asian section.

You can get fresh baby corn at the grocery store in the UK - we used to use it for stir fry all the time.

When I saw the subject line I immediately thought of a vendor at our local farmer's market. They are named Cornhub and have a bunch of merch. www.showmecorn.com

Where your "CornHub" article has a certain witty appeal, it does a serious disservice to its readers when the "healthy" element is completely left out. Not saying it needs to be all about the nutrition of your food subject matter, but from my knowledge about corn, most corn (aside from popcorn and organically grown corn) is GMO (https://www.fda.gov/food/agricultural-biotechnology/gmo-crops-animal-food-and-beyond). Maybe somehow this baby corn escaped such a demise, but if not, you are promoting a genetically engineered substance that has been shown to be extremely unhealthy to humans, never mind the planet. And if it has escaped the evil GMO greed machine, it deserves mention to those who are concerned about what they put in their bodies. I would hope your articles in the future have more than a witty appeal but also include content that benefits its readers.
