Cobs are a type of corn that is harvested when the kernels are still immature and tender. They are often enjoyed as a popular side dish, especially during summer barbecues and picnics. Cobs can be boiled, grilled, or roasted, and are typically served with butter and seasonings. The term "cob" can also refer to the entire ear of corn, which consists of the cob itself and the kernels attached to it. Corn is a staple food in many cultures and is used in various dishes, from corn on the cob to cornmeal and popcorn.
