Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming corn.
- When buying corn, take a look at the outside of the corn, the husk. You want the corn husk to be bright green, wrapped tightly against the corn, and slightly damp. These are the freshest cobs!
- Don’t peel back the husk until you are ready to cook the corn! This shortens the life of the corn, causing it to dry out.
- You can cut corn kernels off the cob without making a mess. Place one end of the ear of corn on the centerpiece of a bundt cake pan, then using a knife and gently scrape down each side of the ear.
- Simply wrap a wet paper towel around an ear of shucked corn and stick it in the microwave. The water and heat will steam the corn in about 90 seconds.
- Spicy corn, black bean & feta salad is an exciting main-course salad, packed with interesting flavors and textures (a vegetarian favorite).
