The best way to store corn from the farm is to refrigerate it as soon as possible after harvesting. Keeping the corn cold slows down the conversion of sugars to starch, preserving its sweetness.
Steps for Storing Fresh Corn:
- Refrigerate Immediately: Get the corn into the refrigerator as quickly as possible after it's been picked or purchased.
- Minimal Preparation: There's no need to shuck the corn before refrigerating it. Simply stack the ears of corn in the refrigerator.
By following these steps, you can extend the freshness and flavor of your farm-fresh corn.
