Corn is a delicious and nutritious food, but did you know that the water you boil it in is just as valuable? Instead of throwing it away, you can use it for multiple health and household benefits.

How to Boil Corn the Right Way

1. Choose Fresh Corn – Use whole corn on the cob for the best flavor.
2. Use Enough Water – Fill a pot with enough water to fully cover the corn.
3. Add Natural Enhancers – For extra taste, add a pinch of salt, a little butter, or a few bay leaves.
4. Boil for 15-20 Minutes – Until the kernels are tender.

Why You Shouldn’t Throw Away Corn Water

✔ Rich in Nutrients – The water absorbs vitamins and minerals from the corn.
✔ Good for Digestion – Drinking a warm cup of corn water may help with digestion.
✔ Great for Hair & Skin – Use it as a natural rinse for soft hair and refreshed skin.
✔ Perfect for Soups & Broths – Adds a natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
✔ Water Your Plants – Once cooled, it provides nutrients to plants instead of wasting it.

How to Use Corn Water:

• Drink it warm for a mild, naturally sweet tea.
• Use it in soups instead of plain water.
• Let it cool and use it for watering plants.
• Add it to homemade hair masks for extra nourishment.
