Hey there, I've got some sweet corn that stayed on the plant a bit too long. The husks turned brown and the kernels are a little wrinkled and dry now. I'm wondering if any of you seasoned gardeners have tried this: can I shuck that corn, dehydrate the kernels, and turn them into flour or powder for making things like cornbread or tortillas?

Yes, you can definitely do that! I've tried it before. Just keep in mind, it won’t taste exactly like regular cornmeal. It has a unique flavor, more like the sweet corn itself, which is still really good but different. I found the best results come from mixing it with regular cornmeal; it helps with the texture in recipes like cornbread.
Thanks for that tip! Do you remember what ratio you used when mixing the sweet corn powder with the regular cornmeal?
