English term

Earn of corn

Non-PRO Homework / test English to Spanish Science Food & Drink
Sólo está escrito en una lista de términos para mi escuela, estudio interpretación, he buscado en diccionarios pero no encuentro nada, sé que puede ser algo sencillo, de hecho se me ocurrió "Salvado de trigo".

It is only written on a list that a teacher gave to me, I'm studying interpretation, and I cannot find anything, I know it might be an easy answer, but I've searched in dictionaries... Actually something came to my mind: "Salvado de trigo"

I agree with Lydia - maybe it was handwritten and you misinterpreted it, but definitely an "ear of corn."
Lydia De Jorge Jan 24, 2009:
I think there's a typo - EAR of corn.
