Hi all,
In a few of the older posts I've come across, I've read about how we can feed corn husks to our piggies. This is news to me.
Well, I believe I may have hit the piggie corn husk jackpot. Last night, I walked into the Super Walmart and by their corn section, they had a HUGE garbage pail of the husks left by shoppers. You have no idea how excited I was to see this. To the mortification of my stepdaughter, :eye-poppi I grabbed a husk from the bin, took it home, washed them, cleaned them of silk, dried them and gave 4 little leaves to CharleyCharley. He LOVED them!
He popcorned all over the place last night. I think this site and all the info I'm finding has made him happier, too!
I'm so excited, that I'm going to ask a manager at Wally World to allow me to take home a bag of their corn husks. Maybe other Wally Worlds do this near you and it's a free source of food.
I guess my questions are:
*Can I give husks every day? If so, how many?
*Am I cleaning them properly?
*Is there anything I need to worry about regarding husks?
*I read somewhere on here that someone stores husks for winter eating. How can I do that? Is there a special way to store the husks so that they do not mold, etc.? Do you store it in tupperware? Do you put paper towels between them?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
