Corn Silk can be used to help alleviate symptoms that go along with the following conditions: bedwetting, cystitis, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, gout and hyperglycemia. (More details on those below.) Itâs also a natural source of vitamin K and potassium.
The water in the silk and the husks steams the corn during cooking, keeping the kernels moist. This method adds extra sweetness and flavor to the corn, and the silk is much easier to remove after cooking. Place 1 to 4 unshucked ears of corn on a microwave safe plate. You can also use just the tray.
