One of the new trends in the vegetable market is the appearance of many vegetables, sometines referred to as baby or midget vegetables.
The majority of vegetables sold as miniatures are immature specimens of varieties which tend to be small in size and soft in color. They are sweet in flavor and delicate in texture. A common one is baby com.
Baby com is
ordinary corn
Baby corn is simply immature ears of ordinary com harvested at the time when the silk just emerges from the husks. It is too late to harvest when the silk starts to turn into the darker color or begin to dry up. The tiny ears, about two-inch in size on cobs, are used in Oriental stir-fry dishes, or as pickles and in German salads (with husk on).
In addition, there are true dwarf varieties of vegetables in which the edible portion is usually small. These true minature vegetables include Tom Thumb lettuce with tennis ballsize head; gold nugget carrnts about 2 inches to 3 inches long; and the waxy, firm potato referred as yellow flesh ladyfinger that is about an inch in diameter and four inches long.
