There is corn oil, but not all the sequences of ripening gives corn the same inner properties.

Can milk also derived from corn?

  1. Corn goes through a "milk" stage as it matures.  If you squeeze a young corn grain as it starts filling out you will get a squirt of a white liquid which is water with dissolved starch in it.  Then it will go into a soft dough stage (like when you eat roasting ears), then a hard dough stage, and then drying down to maturity.

    The oil comes from the mature germ, the white endosperm is mostly starch.


  2. No.

  3. it is best to eat corn, when it is in its milky stage
