Corn Recipes

The most commonly found varieties of sweet corn are yellow, white, and bicolor.

In Season: Corn is in season from May through September but peaks in late summer.

What to Look For: Look for ears that are fully encased in bright-green husks and topped with golden-brown tassels. Pull back just enough of the husks to make sure the kernels are in tight rows. 

How to Store: Since corn begins to lose its natural sweetness as soon as it is picked, fresh corn is best eaten the day it is purchased; if not, you can refrigerate ears in their husks for up to two days.
