Can you eat the shuck of the corn?
I see nothing wrong with it. Washing is recommended because it is grown outside, and if it is not organic, pesticide are likely to be on it. The corn may not be as tender.

Dent corn is inedible, but is used most often (it is altered before being made for human consumption). Even if you eat dent corn raw (as long as you don't eat too much of it) it will likely pass in the same way gum passes through your system if you accidentally swallow it(gum is flavored rubber).

Commercial dent corn is planted in the spring. At what time of the spring corn gets planted differs depending on geographic region. Corn can typically be planted earlier in the spring in the southern United States than in the northern U.S. because the warmer climate allows soil temperatures to warm more quickly.
