to have at least two varieties available every day. The same as different apple varieties have
different tastes and qualities, so do the different varieties of corn. See Corn Recipes for

Storing and Preparing Corn

Corn should be eaten fresh, most varieties should not stored in the fridge for more than one
day. A few of the varieties we grow are better suited for storing for a longer period of time,
see Information about Corn for the varieties. To store in the fridge place cobs in a plastic bag
with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out.

The most common way of preparing corn is boiling it on the cob. Remove the husk and place
into boiling water for no more than 5 minutes, really just to heat it up. Over cooking makes
the corn starchy instead of crisp and sweet.

To remove corn kernels from the cob, hold the ear upright on its flat end on a cutting board;
with a sharp knife, cut along the length of the cob to remove the kernels, turning the cob as
you go. See Corn Recipes for other cooking ideas.
