Corn leaves are long, narrow, and blade-shaped. They typically have a length of 2-5 feet and can grow up to 1 foot wide. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stem and have a prominent midrib running through the center.
Corn leaves typically have parallel venation, meaning that the veins run parallel to each other along the length of the leaf. Dicot leaves, on the other hand, have a branching network of veins that spread out from a central midrib. Additionally, corn leaves are generally longer and narrower compared to the broader shape of dicot leaves.
The oja de maiz (corn leaf) is used to give the tamal its shape and hold it together while it is cooking. (Tamales is plural; tamal is singular; tamale does not exist in Spanish.) Corn leaves are used in the state of Puebla, but in the state of Oaxaca, they use green banana leaves. Those leaves serve the same purpose.
