Babycorn
Baby corn is a favorite in Asian stir-fries and salads, loved for its miniature size and satisfying "crunch." Harvested early while the ears are still small and tender, baby corn can be eaten whole—cob and all. It is a versatile ingredient that adds both visual appeal and a delightful texture to any meal.
Season: Available all year round; thrives in tropical and subtropical climates.
Flavor & Texture: Mild, subtly sweet, and wonderfully crunchy. Because the cob is still soft, it provides a unique, consistent texture throughout the entire ear.

Stir-fries: A staple in dishes like "Mixed Vegetable Stir-fry" or paired with mushrooms and snap peas.
Thai Curries: Adds a sweet crunch to Red, Green, or Panang curries.
Salads & Grills: Can be blanched for salads or threaded onto skewers for a colorful vegetable kebab.
Noodle Dishes: Often found in "Rad Na" (Noodles in Gravy) or stir-fried noodle recipes.
