We're having sweet corn with dinner, which means the girls get to have corn silk which is one of their favorite treats.

I like it because all the parts we would discard go to the pigs.

I remove the outside layers of the husks and only give them the interior layers, and they get as much of the corn silk as I manage to peel off.

They go wild for the corn silk. We usually have more than we can give them in a single day, but I put the excess in a bag and it keeps for a couple days in the fridge.
