Keep Corn on the Cob Fresh All Week

Leave the husks on your corn when you bring it home. The husks lock in moisture and keep the corn from drying out. Don’t even peel back the tips unless you absolutely have to check the kernels. Pop the whole cobs (unwashed) into a large zip-top bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can, seal it up, and stash it in your fridge’s veggie drawer. If you’ve already husked the corn, try to use it within a day or two for the best flavor. Husked corn dries out fast. Planning to freeze? Remove the husks, blanch the cobs or kernels, cool them in ice water, and pack them into freezer bags. Squeeze out the air before freezing. Frozen corn lasts up to a year. Leftover cooked corn should go in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten within 3-5 days. If it smells weird or looks moldy, toss it. #cornonthecob #foodstorage #summertips #Food #Cooking
