Corn Sweat is Real

  1. I just learned this on our trip to MN! We had stopped to visit with some of dh's cousins and dh was asking how come they don't need to have watering systems, or how everyone's lawn is beautiful green and no sprinklers, and it was explained about all the water corn releases. My dry eyes loved the humidity in the air, there. I need to grow a corn field, LOL.

    1. The good thing about Illinois is the heat/humidity only last a short time. When we lived in South Florida it was brutal and lasted months.

  5. I heard about corn sweat for the first time last year from a fellow blogger who lives in Wisconsin. It makes sense, when you bit into an ear of corn! But so strange to think about!

    1. When I was a kid, my grandfather told me that the hotter it was and the more water the corn released, the sweeter it would be.
