What's the function of eating sweet corn stalks?

Corn stalks, when I was a child, I often found sweet corn stalks to eat as sugar cane. At that time, sugarcane was rarely eaten, and the corn stalks chosen by parents were really sweet. In memory, we always eat corn stalks as sugarcane. A few days ago, I accompanied my friends in the literary world to travel and saw someone eating corn stalks. My friend is very curious. In fact, corn stalk is a rare "natural dessert" for children in remote rural areas. Maybe corn stalks can be used as a "nutritional supplement" when they are in trouble. If a friend has ever gone out for inspection or travel, you can try this kind of "country sugarcane" if you have the opportunity. So, are all corn stalks sweet? Actually, it's not. It depends on the situation of corn. Here is a brief introduction to how to tell whether corn stalks are sweet or not.

Generally speaking, corn stalks are taken when the corn is ripe. We don't choose very old corn whether it is cooked or fried, because old corn is basically difficult to chew, and so is corn stalk. You can't choose too old, it's best to take it when it is growing vigorously, but which one will be sweeter? Look at the corn buns first to see if there are any corn buns on the corn tree, one, two or none. If not, then that root must be sweet, because its nutrition has not been sucked away by corn kernels. Secondly, if there is corn, it depends on which corn bag is small and the corn grains grow less. Generally speaking, you don't need to tear up the corn cob. We can see the size of corn buns with our eyes and then pinch them with our hands. Of course, if you just want to crush the corn, it's better to cook it at home. If you open it when breaking corn, it will definitely not be very sweet if it is full. We should choose the kind with few knots, which we also call "prickly head", because they only produce a few scattered corns, just like prickly heads, so there are generally more such cornstalks.

To sum up, as long as you look for corn stalks with few knots or corn bags, of course, many corn is bought by people in seed shops now, and less and less corn does not knot. I left a lot of seeds before. Of course, these are also related to the rationality of planting and the climate of the land, so these also depend on the situation.
