Keep corn on the cob fresh!
To bite into fresh set corn
dripping with butter and find it
tough and tasteless is a big
disappointment. - To avoid .such
a let-down, food specialist t
the Ontario Food Counell,Minis-
try of Agriculture and Food offer
some tips on buying, storing, and
cooking sweet corn.
The secret to really delicious
fkesh• corn on the cob is cooking
and eating it right away - the
same day or within a day of
--ft purchase. If you keep it longer,
the sugar-in the plump kernels
starts to bin to starch and you
,„,,,lose the tenderneSS and sweet Ay
` flavor that make it taste so good.
When you buy fresh corn, look
for these signs of quality: kerhels
that are -plump, but not tob large
and cover the cob well; husks
• that look fresh and are green -
not dried or. yellow,. Check the
silk ends to, make sure they are
• free from, decay or worm injury.
Since high temperatures
_speed up moisture loss - which
toughens the corn - buy frdm a
refrigerated display. In other
words, buy “cool" corn. The
color of the corn kernels does
not-indicate freshness. They may
be pale or yellow. The
important thing is. brightness.
