Organic Corn Silk - Loose Leaf Botanical

About this product

If you have ever shucked an ear of corn you have likely discarded corn silk. The tassels on the ends of ripe corn are usually a waste product, but can be brewed into a delicious and nutritious tea. The glossy strands were sacred to the Native Americans as well as indigenous tribes in Central and South America where corn was a staple crop. When brewed, corn silk tea has a mild and earthy flavor. The strands are packed with vitamins C and K and also potassium. The high polyphenol content helps make corn silk a great protector against free radical damage in the body. Corn silk is often used as a diuretic and support for the urinary system. The flavonoids present in corn silk can also have anti-inflammatory effects and may help to decrease oxidative stress.
