corn cobs
Kernels' cylindrical base
Corn cobs are the cylindrical cores of ears of corn, the part that remains after the kernels are removed.
Fresh corn is eaten directly off the cob: corn on the cob with butter and salt.
Dried cobs have been used as fuel, livestock feed, and—in earlier times—as a rough substitute for toilet paper in outhouses.
