Product description
Baby corn is harvested young — before the ear develops, before the cob toughens, before the sweetness becomes starch. The result is a completely edible, tender, mildly sweet vegetable that cooks in minutes and works in almost every cuisine represented in UAE kitchens.
Sourced from Kenya, one of the world's leading baby corn growing regions, and delivered fresh across the UAE on the day you order. No tins. No brine. No compromise on texture or flavour.
HOW TO USE IT
Stir-fry: whole or halved, 3–4 minutes on high heat with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame. Ready before the rice finishes.
Soup: add in the last 5 minutes. Holds its shape and sweetness.
Salad: blanch 2 minutes, chill, slice, dress. Clean crunch in every bite.
Curry: halved into any dal, coconut curry, or sabzi in the last 8 minutes.

Sign UpBaby corn is harvested from the corn plant before it is pollinated and the ears begin to develop fully - typically at 2 to 4 days after the silk emerges. It is harvested entirely young, which is why it is small, pale yellow, and completely edible including the cob - unlike regular mature corn where the cob is too tough and fibrous to eat. The flavour is mild, slightly sweet, and more delicate than mature corn. The texture holds up well to heat and absorbs surrounding flavours readily, making it ideal for stir-fries, soups, curries, and salads in both Asian and Middle Eastern cooking. Unlike canned baby corn, fresh baby corn has a noticeably crisper texture and cleaner flavour without the brine aftertaste.
Baby corn cooks quickly and needs almost no preparation. Rinse under cold water. You can leave whole, halve lengthwise, or cut into rounds depending on your dish. There is no need to remove the leaves or silk if using fresh whole ears - they are edible and add a mild sweetness. Stir-fry: heat oil (cold-pressed groundnut or coconut oil works well) in a wok or pan on high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and baby corn. Stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes until just tender with a slight char. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce or a pinch of salt. Soup: add whole or halved baby corn in the last 5 minutes of simmering - it does not need long cooking. Salad: blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, plunge into cold water, slice and toss with dressing. Holds its crunch beautifully. Curry: add halved baby corn to any dal, coconut milk curry, or vegetable preparation in the last 8 to 10 minutes.
There are three reasons the price differs from what you would find in a supermarket. First, sourcing: our baby corn is sourced from Kenya, one of the world's primary baby corn growing regions with a track record for quality fresh-packed produce and responsible farming practices. Second, form: we supply fresh baby corn, not canned baby corn preserved in brine - the taste, texture, and nutritional profile are significantly different. Third, Rootz's organic sourcing philosophy: we work with farmers who meet our standards for responsible growing, and that is reflected in the price. At AED 21.95 for 200g of fresh Kenya baby corn delivered to your home the same day, the value is in what it replaces - 30 minutes of traffic to a supermarket - and in the quality of what your family eats.
Baby corn from Kenya is available through most of the year due to Kenya's stable growing climate, which allows for multiple harvests annually. However, as noted on our product page, we source our organic fruits and vegetables from different sources depending on seasonality - if baby corn is not in stock at the time of your order, we will update you accordingly. If you need it for a specific recipe or occasion, adding it to your order on a day when you receive confirmation of availability ensures the freshest possible product reaches you.
