I'm 30 years old and have seen this stuff on corn my entire life and never knew it was edible. Picked some out of the field in my backyard yesterday and cooked it today with onions, garlic and green onions. Put the cooked mixture into a couple corn tortillas with Sour cream and Colby & Pepper Jack cheese. It was the absolute BEST tortilla/taco I've ever had in my life. The corn smut tastes like a cross between mushrooms and sweet corn. Id highly recommend it to anyone. Give it a try ladies and gentlemen. 🖒🖒
Amigo put epazote leaves for flavor and you will dig it. You can find epazote in Mexican markerts. Huitlacoche was harvested by the Aztecs. High nutritional value
For one of the healthiest products that can be dehydrated or freeze dried corn smut is a well rounded and balanced food. It is delicious and if you are used to getting twenty cents per ear at the Farmer’s Market, consider that you can sell this to restaurants and gourmet chefs for upwards of $60 /lb. We inject every ear of corn on our farm with the spores and it pays for our animal’s entire feed bill for the year! (That’s over 20,000 animals!)
I grew the 'BANTAM' variety of corn this year. It was the first time I ever grew corn. One day, I was horrified to see this alien like fungi growing out of one of the corn stalks. Thank you for changing my perception. I had know idea what this was called until now and that some people like eating this delicacy. Weird.
Huitlacoche is my favorite stuffing for quesadillas, it is so delicious and favourable, it has a deep umami flavour. You can find these in all market places of central Mexico, it's not something that is northern Mexico has as part of their cuisine. Very simple to prepare with tomatoes, Chile Serrano, garlic and onions. You can also use this to stuff chicken breasts with Oaxaca string cheese. The Mexican food that you eat here in the states is not the norm in Mexico, Mexico's cuisine is more complex just like the Chinese.
Noooo idea how I got here, but as a Mexican I can tell you this: cook it with onion and garlic to enhance its flavour; and you are right, better harvest them before they get black.
You should eat this in quesadillas. Treat it like a mushroom. Maybe to use in an omelette. In Mexico they are a delicacy for sure. From Los Angeles, provecho!
Was watching this in the background and came across a picture of a corn cob pierced through a windshield. This may signify an exceptionally good harvest for you in the coming months.
Seems one might want to save a lobe of that to inoculate future corn ears. As a kid we had burros and a pony, they'd lean on wire fences to reach grass on other side, trashing the fence. Installed E-wires expecting to just run intermittently, they'd learn to stay away from the fence even when current was off, right? NOPE. They learned how to *test the wire with a whisker* and go right ahead and trash the fence when it was off. :D
You already know how to make tamales. Make huitlacoche tamales. Sautee the huitlacoche with onions peppers and sweet corn. Then use that and Oaxaca cheese as your filling. A good substitute would be mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.
Sounds delicious. I'll try the next time I get huitlacoche on my corn. Maybe I can find a recipe and make Oaxaca cheese at home. Is it a simple cheese like a queso blanco?
@@HardcoreSustainable Oaxaca is more of a mozzarella type cheese. Cooked and stretched, then wound into a ball. I'll link a recipe for you from Kristen, my favourite cheesemaker, who sadly has been too busy the last few years to make new videos. But all her cheese videos are super watchable.
Kristen is a great teacher and very methodical in her cheese recipes. I have made several of her cheeses successfully. Haven't made oaxaca, but it looks very simple to make at home. One thing I have noticed with RUclips cheesemakers - they are almost invariably left handed!! ruclips.net/video/p_sW09wOtMs/видео.html
Npr says complete protein when combining normal corn with this moldy corn. However there was an article posted years ago indicating a risk regarding eating moldy corn too often especially for pregnant women. Some areas may hate this corn mold. Those who like the corn mold probably need to stay far away from areas where they hate corn mold. Thank you
This is not moldy corn. This is a healthy to eat fungus that is highly desirable. If you sell your corn at farmer’s market for twenty cents ea….consider that each ear can produce $35.00 worth of this fungus that will be snapped up by many restaurants and local gourmet shops. If you harvest it at the right time you can freeze dry it or dehydrate it and press the oil out of it and sell the oil for $130/fl. oz. it is nutty, grassy, delicious and really fills out with a bit of butter and liquid sea salt. It can be canned and preserved for up to a year…more if you use preservatives. We inoculate EVERY ear of corn. This saved our farm!
Yes that will happen when the corn varieties flower at the same time. Best to succession plant and pay attention to the days to maturity of the variety.
Hum. 1) I hope I never see corn smut. 2) I hope I am never so hungry that I would consider eating corn smut. My hat's off to you. Thanks for teaching me something new.
Hi Dan, Good to see your post. I am glad Banjo wasn't hurt. She is very smart so I am sure she can figure anything out quickly. She knew that she didn't know me the last time I was at DR and wouldn't let me pet her. So that "don't trust strangers" thing she knew. I hope you get a good crop of corn. The Governor of Florida is terrible as are others of his kind. Saying "it is what it is" as our president said about the deaths caused by COVID-19 is just stupid and that is the nicest thing I can say about that comment. But it isn't the dumbest nor the most insensitive thing he has said.
Hi Mary. Yes banjo is pretty smart. Usually she is friendly. If you show an interest in her she will usually be friendly. Trump and the governor of Florida are two peas in a pod. I think they are working for another country because their only goal seems to be the destruction of the country in every way.
That's great to hear! Glad you got to try it. I was not only battling the raccoons this season but the rats must be out of control because they found and ate every last kernel of popcorn. The electric fence does nothing for them. I ordered a 12 pack of rat traps. If only I could stomach eating them. Human cultures have lived off them in the past, but they are beyond gross for me. I'll just try to kill as many as possible and start rat proofing everything. Every year I battle some new pest, implement control measures, and then a new pest appears. Very frustrating. It doesn't seem like other gardeners have nearly the pests we do here.
The good thing is once bitten twice shy. Raccoons just like dogs learn quickly that electric wire bites. Do not get complacent because dog i know and probably raccoons too can smell if the wire is live
@@HardcoreSustainable WOW. Wet the surrounding area around the fenceline and make sure the wire is at the ground level. If it's up the may burrow under it like a dog.
@@reneebrown2968 Thanks for the suggestions. It is low as it can go without touching in some spots. It doesn't seem like there are signs of burrowing. I'm pretty sure there is dew on the grass at the time the raccoons are out, but maybe wetting the soil would help too. I'll try that. I actually found a section of hardware cloth moved close to the fence this morning and I was imagining the raccoons using it to trampoline over the fence into the garden. I wouldn't put it past them. Who knows why it was moved. I'm hoping one got so freaked out after being shocked it scrambled over the hardware cloth and moved it.
@@HardcoreSustainable i know wetting the soil helped with keeping deer out of our gardens. It would give them a deeper shock and they would leave and not trying it again
I can tell you it didn't work. I don't know what the trick is, but I found raccoons running right through it and eating the corn in the middle of the fenced area. It could be related to the fact that the ground is very dry at that time of year and wasn't making a good connection with the raccoon feet to shock them. I tried wetting the perimeter, but it didn't make a difference. It was a lot of effort and it did absolutely nothing to deter them. I know some have had success, but I didn't.
How did you know the ears had it before you shucked them? It looks like the ears you were shucking were immature. I could see where a person might not be aware they had it until after the black started oozing out?
To keep the hungry raccoons away from your corn....feed them something else. Im pretty sure the raccoons would rather have cat food or really any old food that you may have in your refrigerator or cupboards.
That will just make more of them. You shouldn't feed wildlife. I did figure something out though and now I get a full harvest, at least until the raccoons figure out a way to get through the electric netting.
@@HardcoreSustainable It was the hybrid seed corn for popcorn, so a very commercial operation. But yes, it seems most farmers are very entangled in government subsidized commodity crops, and don’t think outside that box. It’s the richest farmland on earth and commodity crops rule… seems a bit perverse to me.
@@HardcoreSustainable It's a melting unaged cheese sold in strings that are knotted in a ball. Actually the Oaxacan people don't call it like that. For them is "quesillo" but in the USA is easier to find it as Oaxaca cheese. You can also use Chihuahua cheese (a Mexican-Mennonite type).
@@HardcoreSustainable wait, what??? How the heck do you ‘release’ it from the field? I planted in 2 very different spots as we have 20 acres and still over half had it. I thought it was worms at first cause I’ve never heard of it before I started trying to grow sweet corn. No other veggies are affected just the corn
@@christinanoname5773 I said to REMOVE it from the field, not release it. I said remove it before it releases spores, like when it has turned black and powdery. You remove it by pulling off the infected ears and burying them in the ground. It's a fungus with spores and the spores are how it reproduces. You can tell the ears that are infected as I show in this video by the fact that they look swollen and deformed very early in development. The fungus doesn't infect any other veggies, just corn.
Hm, I've never seen that before. Never even heard of it. I've always found that my corn grows pretty well. I do get the worms sometimes but that's about it. This year, nothing touched my corn.
You need to set some live traps for those raccoons. Fillet them out and put all the meat in a crock pot with a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce on low overnight. And you have a good meal for breakfast!
I've never had raccoon meat. I need to get a .22 or something to dispatch it if I'm going to eat them. I've caught them in traps before but just released them. Still, they are relentless. I'm thinking of setting a trap inside my electric fence to try to catch the ones that get in, because maybe they are the smart ones.
Just got done picking this off my corn 🌽🙄.. pls remember to wash your hands with soap thoroughly.. I would never eat that I dnt care how harmless ppl say it is .. eating fungus just dnt seem like a good idea in the long run for our insides
6:15 do you not understand the difference between feed corn and corn ? hfcs , ethanol , both are derivatives of feed corn , feed corn is 100 million acres , "sweet" corn 500,000 acres , 1/2 of 1 % , feed corn drives the meat pipeline fyi
I'm not sure what your point is. I know the difference between sweet and feed corn. The corn surpluses in the US made HFCS' implementation as a cheaper replacement for sugar possible. Most of the corn grown in the US goes to animal feed, corn syrup and ethanol production. For all these reasons corn gets a bad rap. Do you understand the idea of saying something gets a bad rap but is still good in many ways??? That is my point. Flour corn and popcorn are really good for you. Sweet corn is good for you if eaten in moderation. Eating regular corn in your diet is good for you. It's been a staple for indigenous cultures for thousands of years. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water. I now all these things. Ethanol is really unsustainable because it takes so much fossil fuel to process it. HFCS is horrible for the body and made with a chemical process to convert starch into fructose. And we all know how ridiculous it is to use millions of acres to unsustainably feed animals food that is really bad for them instead of growing good food for humans. And government ag subsidies make the cheaper production of all these incredibly unsustainable products possible.

Fry it with onions, green peppers, and put it in a corn tortilla with melted cheese, once it's done, use some salsa and voila!
I finally have it shown in my garden this year . I am so excited !😜
Some people get excited, others not as much. I don't like too much of it because I like corn better than corn smut.
Down in Mexico and Central America it is regarded as a delicacy my husband says.
I have heard that too.
Kimberly Cook can you eat it raw?
@@Botanifiles I don't know. He says he saw it cooked
Thank you
@@Botanifiles yes, you can eat it raw , preferably when white and young as you would any mushroom, you can even use them in salads.
Also and Mexico is very expensive! Huitlacoche unique flavor test!.
It was on two ears of my corn and I did not try it ... also heard it called corn truffle.
We tried it recently and it was good.
I ate mine in butter

I can't dis your 🌽 because mine didn't germinate. That said, I don't know if I could muster the nerve to eat it. Great tutorial!
We hard an EPIC flop at corn this year!
Huitlacoche tastes likes mild cheese. Somewhat like aged swiss cheese. The texture is that of regular baby bella, maybe slightly more tender.
I grew "minature" corn on minature stalks this year😏 When I grew peaches and cream next to blue ornamental corn it all came out bicolor hard kernels.
Yes that will happen when the corn varieties flower at the same time. Best to succession plant and pay attention to the days to maturity of the variety.
It was not a corn year for us either!

Was a 'rouger' several summers in my youth and cut a fortune of this stuff out of popcorn seed corn fields. If only I knew what to do with it…
