Frontier Co-op Cut & Sifted Cornsilk 1lb
Purchase options and add-ons
- GREEN CORNSILK - Frontier Co-op Green Cornsilk (Zea mays), also known as tassels, are the long, silky threads that grow on corn cobs. They are often discarded, but can be dried and used in teas. Native to Central America and the Andes, green cornsilk is widely cultivated in the Americas and Europe. It has been used by Native Americans since 5000 BC.
- HIGH-QUALITY - Our high-quality, green cornsilk is hand-picked from healthy ears of corn and dried out to perfection. This delivers highly potent tassels that are perfect for making teas.
- SMOOTH AND SUBTLE TASTE - When cut and sifted, green cornsilk is soaked in hot water where it delivers a smooth and nurturing taste. It is red without any striking aroma and it blends well with other mild-tasting herbs.
- SOURCED FROM BULGARIA - Frontier Co-op dried, green cornsilk is carefully selected from healthy corn ears from the farms of Bulgaria. Our product is 100% Kosher certified and non-irradiated.

Start off light. Kinda gave me heartburn & indigestion but I’m not on the healthy side
Since it’s sold by the pound I was able to share with family & friends. Everyone else agrees to start light and stay at light for a while. I don’t have experience or knowledge of dried corn silk so I can’t compare it or truly say it’s harvested good or high quality. I will update my comment after I get more feedback from family & friends.
4 out of 5 stars because of the dark color. If they mentioned that in the description or better yet, explained it, it would be a 5 star review. Also would have prefered a resealable bag.
