Why does corn come out whole but you just know chewed it?

Corn kernels do not typically come out whole after chewing them. Corn kernels are made up of a hard outer shell and a soft, starchy interior. When you chew corn, the hard outer shell is broken down and the soft interior is released. This is what gives corn its characteristic taste and texture. If corn kernels are not properly chewed, they can become lodged in the teeth or throat, which can be uncomfortable or even dangerous.
