Picking the best sweet corn!

Summer sweet corn season is fleeting! Here’s how to pick the best of the bunch: Look for bright green, tightly wrapped husks. They should feel fresh and slightly damp, not dry or yellowing, with plump, full kernels underneath (no gaps!). Check the tassels at the top—golden and slightly sticky = fresh, dark and dry = past its prime. Bring it home and cook it ASAP for the sweetest flavor. Summer corn doesn’t wait… and neither should you
