Selection
Good quality corn has full, evenly formed filled ears with straight rows of kernels. The husks will be fresh-looking and bright green, and the silk ends free of decay or worm damage. Be sure the coloring of the kernels is bright and shiny. Pull back the husk and poke one of the kernels at the tip of the silk end with a fingernail. If juice squirts out and is only slightly cloudy, it’s fresh. If the juice is thick or non-existent, the corn is old.
Avoid
Avoid corn that has shriveled, burned looking husks, or has dark-colored slime in the tassel. Large kernels, those with dark yellow dents and wrinkled kernels with no juice in them are all indications of old corn. Also avoid underdeveloped kernels lacking good color (except in the white variety) and short or crooked ears that are not filled almost to the tip with kernels.
Storage
Store sweet corn in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep the husk attached to the sweet corn during storage; it will help protect and retain the corn’s moisture content. If the husk is already removed, refrigerate fresh corn in a plastic bag.
