When I used to boil corn, I liked to remove all the corn leaves and whiskers so that it would look cleaner. Later, my mother detected high blood pressure, and the community doctor insisted on drinking some corn whisker water after her mother's blood pressure stabilized. Now, every time I cook corn, I save a few pieces of corn leaves, wash the corn silk along with them, and cook them with the corn, so that you can drink corn water after eating the corn, so you don’t have to cook it again.

Ingredients

5 Black Corn
Some Water

Two Black Corn

1. After buying the black corn, remove the old leaves and leave a few tender leaves, so that the boiled corn will have sufficient moisture and increase the aroma of the corn.

2. Peel the black corn and rinse with running water with the corn leaves and whiskers

3. Put the washed black corn into the pot, put an appropriate amount of water to boil, turn the black corn over halfway, if the pot is relatively large, you can put the water over the black corn.

4. Black corn is cooked through high heat for 20 minutes. The content of anthocyanin in black corn is extremely high. When boiling, it will appear "discoloration". Many people think this is "dyed" fake corn. Let the plant pigments and anthocyanins in the corn penetrate out.

5. Take out the black corn, don't waste the black corn water, a very good blood pressure drink. A touch of sweetness, healthier than buying drinks

Tips:
1. Leave a few tender leaves so that the boiled corn has sufficient moisture
2. Wash the corn and cook it together with the corn, so that you can drink corn water after eating the corn, so you don’t have to cook it again.
