Event Description

11 червня. День кукурудзи

В Україні кукурудзу традиційно починають збирати у вересні, але завдяки новим сортам, скуштувати її можна вже у липні-серпні. З кукурудзи готують різноманітні страви, такі як сальса, салат, кукурудзяні млинці та навіть суп. В Україні вирощується багато кукурудзи, більша частка якої йде на експорт.

Слово дня: “КУКУРУДЗА" -  рослина родини злакових, що має грубе високе стебло та їстівні зерна, зібрані в качан.

Аромат свіжої кукурудзи на грилі збуджував апетит і заповнював повітря неповторним смаком літа.
