Corn Silk
I've been looking for good info on Corn silk. Since I will be harvesting lots of corn tomorrow, I wonder how much silk I should harvest. One article said fresh is much better. Others say, dry it. And since it wouldn't keep without drying, I suppose that's what I'll do. But I'd like some better info on effectiveness if it's been dried vs fresh.
we tried some tea today. Pretty nice. Probably would make a good addition to other herbs.
Anyone a Corn Silk afficionado?

Dried corn silk was an ingredient in a herbal tea my daughter-in-law and I made. The tea was great for uti’s. Definitely great to have on hand.
