What part of the corns is edible?

Here's a breakdown:

* Kernel: This is the individual grain on the cob, containing the starchy endosperm, germ (for sprouting), and a thin layer of bran.

* Cob: The central stalk to which the kernels are attached. This is not edible.

* Husk: The outer protective leaves that surround the cob. These are not typically eaten, although some people use them for cooking.

So, when you eat corn, you're eating the kernels, not the cob or the husk.
