I have to ask because I swear that Jase on Big Brother was last night. he had the husks still attached to the cob, and they were still green, so it hadn't been roasted. I have never heard of this. we always boil ours.
moped replied: No way!!!!!
I barely eat corn on the cob because I had one GROSS experience
gr33n3y3z replied: yes you can eat it raw 
but I like mine cooked
C&K*s Mommie replied: You can. But I like mine heated up a little though (in the micro) at the very least, if not then boiled.
PrairieMom replied: do people actually DO that tho? I mean I know you won't die from it if you eat it raw, but I just figured it was a vegi that needed cooked ya know? Like a potato. you don't eat those raw do you? 
C&K*s Mommie replied:   At least I would have the husks taken off. 
PrairieMom replied: i mean they were peeled off, but still attatched at the bottom.  
C&K*s Mommie replied: oh I get it. I have done that. But it was fresh corn from the farmers market, not cold or anything, but still room temp.
gr33n3y3z replied:
I eat raw potato's and green bean,lima beans (raw only) Cooked no way

Some Veggies are better raw for you bc when you cook them you loose nutrients

redplaydoh replied: You CAN eat it raw... depends on how desparate you are I guess...
Maybe he ate it roasted. I roast mine on the grill inside their husks and peel them just before eating. Usually I boil mine though.
PrairieMom replied:
I thought that too, but the huscks were still green. I have DVR so I watched it a few times to make sure.
Boo&BugsMom replied:
I LOVE raw potatoes!!! I cut them up and sprinkle salt on them!!! Not corn though.
PrairieMom replied:
I prefer mine boiled with butter and sour kraut! makes DH gag.
Boo&BugsMom replied:
Hubby/Troy likes sour kraut too... I thinks it's totally gross! His mom even makes these rice balls with sour kraut on them...GAG!!!
Boo&BugsMom replied: Oh, I like raw baby corn though. Those are good!
gr33n3y3z replied:
I really see no big deal with eating anything raw but meats
Its not about being desparate its what you prefer.
since whats his name likes raw corn and I like raw veggies were desparate?
CantWait replied: Well since the question has been answered I won't answer, however I did think though that eating raw potatoes and raw corn that you could have some digestive problems. I guess not though.
coasterqueen replied: I agree w/Lisa that we lose a lot of nutrients when cooking many vegetables. The reason I, and many problem find it yucky that some eat certain veggies raw is because it's that we've eaten it a certain way for so long, kwim. Even though I would not like to eat raw corn, not sure why, probably because it was always prepared cooked for me, I still see it no different than someone eating a raw carrot. 
Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Exactly! 
I don't like raw corn..I've had it raw and I don't like the texture of it, but raw veggies are much better for you (as Lisa stated in her post)
redchief replied: Eating silver queen corn moments after it's cut is a treat.
PrairieMom replied:
not if you like it that way. 
jaytrevjax replied: I work at a grocery store, and when the corn is in season, we have one of the UTA (sorry, Utah Transit Authority) bus drivers come in every night and buys 2 ears and eats them on his break. He says it is so much better raw then cooked. He says it has a lot more flavor, which I can see, because doesn't boiling take some of the flavor away from foods? And, I love raw potatoes with salt! Sooo GOOD!
