| Pick the best corn |
|
 |
Choose corn displayed in a cool place because heat rapidly converts the sugar in corn to starch. Make sure it is kept out of direct sunlight. |
|
|
|
Look for corn with fresh, green husks and not dried out ones. The kernels should be plump and tightly arranged in rows. To check its juiciness, press your fingernail into a kernel. If the corn is fresh, it will exude a white milky substance. |
|
|
|
To enjoy corn’s flavour to the maximum, store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Do not remove its husk; it protects the flavour. |
|
|
|
You can store fresh corn in heavy-duty freezer bags for freezing, blanch them first for 7 to 11 minutes. If you just want to freeze the kernels, first blanch the ears for about five minutes and then cut the kernels off the cob at about three-quarters of the depth, while kernels can be frozen for two to three months. |
