Corn Stock

Cultural Context

Corn stock, a staple in American cooking, utilizes the often-discarded corn cobs to create a rich, flavorful base for soups and sauces. Traditionally made in homes during harvest season, it highlights the resourcefulness of using every part of the vegetable. Today, it's embraced by chefs and home cooks alike for its ability to enhance dishes with a sweet, earthy flavor.
