Corn on the Cob: A Taste of Summer

Corn on the Cob: A Taste of Summer

July 9, 2008

Most summer picnics, barbeques and other celebrations usually include at least one vegetable: corn on the cob. If it’s your turn to host a family gathering, what should you look for when selecting this sweet veggie treat?

Look for bright green husks. The corn silk should be stiff, dark and moist. Refrigerate the corn immediately when you get home to help the corn stay sweet and use it within two to three days.
You can cook the corn in a variety of ways: boiled in water; grilled, either in or out of the husk; baked, or even microwaved.

Any way you eat it, corn on the cob is a delicious vegetable and a juicy taste of summer.
