I believe everyone often eats corn. So now you know what's in the picture.
They are corn beard(silk).Corn beard(silk)can be used as traditional Chinese medicine after drying.
When we boil the water, put some corn whisker in. Drink this water. Corn beard water can cool blood, clear heat, diuretic detumescence, it is very good slimming beverage. It can also lower blood sugar. And also has certain curative effect in the treatment of Gallstone.
Corn beard water has the taste of corn. The taste is very good.
We all love eating corn delicacies. It has many health benefits as well. What if I tell you the stringy stuff which comes off after removing the green cover from your raw corn has some amazing heal…

They're actually known and called as CORN SILK and I have read about its health benefits so many years ago.

@caopaopao ~All of the grocery stores that I have ever been to sell ears of corn still in it's original packaging including the beard. In the U.S., "Corn on the Cob" refers to corn cooked with the kernals still on the cob. You buy it, bring it home, pull the green things and what I used to refer to as "hair" off then cook the corn.
Once it's heated, put butter on it, and then enjoy eating it.

I used to do the same thing. My mother's blood sugar is a little high recently. The doctor advised her to drink this water. I think I can drink this water, too.

@youless She just drank for a week. She was recently diagnosed with high blood sugar. And gallstones. This water is also good for gallstones. I'm waiting to see the effect.

Wow, I didn't know that they have health benefits. We usually, take away and throw this.
I should tell my sisters about this also because our father was a diabetic. It runs in their family that is why, we are doing what we can not to have it too.

I thought it was corn silk as soon as I saw it. Many people use it here for medicine purposes.
