How to choose fresh corn?

The easiest way to choose an ear of corn is to take a  quick look: peel down a bit of the husk and check for bright yellow, plump kernels. But since doing this can get you angry stares at the market, here’s how to choose corn without peeling the husk:

• Check out the color of the husk. If it’s a bright green and tightly wrapped against the cob, then the corn is fresh.
• Feel the kernels through the husk. The corn kernels should be plump and plentiful.
• Look for small brown holes in the husk, especially towards the top. Those are wormholes, and, of course, worms are best left alone doing their business.
• The tassels (those things sticking up out of the top) should be brown and slightly sticky. If they’re dry or black it means the ear of corn is old and stale.
• As tempting as it might be, don’t peel back the husk. This shortens the shelf life of the corn, causing it to dry out.

How to store fresh corn at home?

It is ok to store your corn at room temperature if you’re going to prepare it within the next few hours. If you don’t plan on eating corn for another day or so, it’s best to refrigerate your fresh corn in the crisper with the husks on, wrapped in a plastic bag.

Can I use frozen corn in salads?

Frozen corn can replace fresh corn in most recipe where fresh corn is called for. But if you plan to make a recipe ahead of time, keep in mind thawed corn will last shorter.
