Your wife is right, it is imported baby corn from Thailand. You can eat the whole thing... cob and all. It is used a lot in Asian cuisine.

Your wife is correct.. " Baby Corn" Just go to your local supermarket and look at the canned corns you'll see cans that say baby corn.. Some cans may even have the picture of these small corns! The only other name I know of is immature corn! It's more common to call them Baby Corn!

She is correct. They are 'baby corn'. The small size is due to watchful harvesters which pick the corn within a few days of the silk appearing on the plants.

Actually, they are called immature ears of corn, just plain and simple.
