corn husk

Corn husks are the natural outer leaves that protect corn ears during growth, playing a vital role in both agriculture and traditional Mexican cuisine. Their durable yet biodegradable nature makes them ideal for wrapping tamales and other foods, while also serving as a sustainable material for crafts and compost. Rich in fiber and nutrients, corn husks have long been valued in indigenous farming and cultural practices. This versatile byproduct of the corn plant supports eco-friendly uses and preserves the biological and cultural heritage associated with corn cultivation.
