How do they grow baby corn?

Asked by occ (4176points) November 1st, 2007

is baby corn (the kind you get in a can) just normal corn, harvested very early? Or is it a different varietyof corn? How do they prepare them so that you can eat the cob too?

(To summarize: It’s a particular strain of Maize, and harvested very early before the cob hardens)
