Great For

Corn on the cob with butter and salt, BBQ dinners, summer salads, tacos, salsa, chowder and pasta salad. Try grilling the cobs and cutting off the kernels for an easy smoky-sweet addition to salads and grain bowls.

Good to Know

Sweet corn begins converting its natural sugars to starch after harvest, which is why really fresh corn tastes so noticeably sweet. Local corn spends less time travelling and sitting in storage, giving you the opportunity to enjoy it closer to its just-picked best.

How to Stretch This

Have an extra cob or two? Cook them while they're fresh, then slice the kernels from the cob and freeze them for soups, chowders, tacos and pasta later.

And don't immediately throw those stripped cobs away! Simmer them with vegetable scraps to add a subtle sweetness and corn flavour to homemade stock.

Storage

Sweet corn is best enjoyed as fresh as possible. Keep the ears refrigerated with their husks on until you're ready to use them. The husks help protect the kernels from drying out.
