cornhusks
Maize's outer leaves
Cornhusks are the leafy outer covering of an ear of corn, stripped away before eating.
Dried cornhusks are used to wrap tamales and other foods, imparting subtle flavor during cooking.
They also serve as material for crafts—dolls, decorations, chair seats.
She soaked the cornhusks before wrapping the tamales.
