Cornsilk

Cornsilk (Zea mays)

Cornsilk, with the Latin name of Zea mays, is actually the female flower on a cob of corn. The tassel pollinates each piece of silk, resulting in a single kernel of corn being produced on the cob. While the corn kernels are used as food, ground into cornmeal and used as food for livestock, the dried Cornsilk has many other common uses.

Organic Cornsilk that is cut and sifted has mild stimulant, mild diuretic , and mild demulcent properties.

Our bulk organic Cornsilk is one of many dried herbs that come from organic-certified growers. Along the way, quality is ensured at multiple points. First, our herb farmers are independently audited on an annual basis for their organic certification. After that, the herbs are carefully inspected and tested in our in-house quality control laboratory before they are released for milling and packaging. Wholesale Cornsilk is available in one pound and greater quantities.
