Tips for Buying Sweet Corn

You should shop early in the day to get the freshest sweet corn available. Look for corn with husks that are bright green and have well-filled ears with plump kernels. The kernels at the tip of the ear should be smaller than the rest—large kernels indicate corn that is overly mature.

Avoid corn with under-developed kernels, wilted or dried husks, brown kernels, or depressed areas on the kernels. Sweet corn should be refrigerated immediately and eaten soon after purchase as its quality deteriorates rapidly after harvest.
