Harvesting Silks-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

After husking the Puhwem (Lenape white flour corn) in the green stage, the silks are harvested.  The silks are full of nutrients.  There is one silk for pollinating each kernel from the tassels of the corn stalks.  If a kernel is not developed on an ear, it did not get pollinated.

    Currently, I am just trying to re-schedule classes that were to have occurred during the pandemic. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be scheduling and advertising classes. I would advise following my Facebook Heart to Hearth Cookery page to know when that happens. Wanishi!
