Here's the thing: the husk is essentially a free, biodegradable wrapper that nature gave us. And we're throwing it away to save freezer space. It feels a little disrespectful, doesn't it? Like refusing a gift from the corn gods.
But listen, you don't have to feel guilty. The husk's job is to protect the corn in the field, not in your icebox. Use it for tamales or compost. We're just being practical.
