How to Pick Corn
Learn how to pick corn with these tips from Mama Lin!
Ingredients
- ears of corn
Instructions
- Husk Color: Choose husks that are vibrant green. The husks should still feel moist, not dry.
- Silk Color: Look for husks with a rich brown color. Try to avoid silks that have turned black. Black silks are an indication that the corn has been picked for a long time and is no longer fresh.
- Check the Bottoms: If the bottoms are white or pale yellow, it means they have been cut more recently. Do not buy corn with bottoms that are browning, turning black, or starting to mold.
- Squeeze the Tip: Squeeze the top of the ear of corn. It should look and feel firm and full. You shouldn’t feel any holes or sparse areas on the cob.
