OUR GUIDE TO SWEET CORN: SELECT, STORE & SAVOUR

Sweet corn is in season! Celebrate this golden, nutritious veggie with our quick guide to picking the best ears, storing them right, and enjoying them with bold flavours.

SELECTING YOUR CORN

Look for:

  • Fresh Husks – Green, moist, and sticky silk at the top.
  • Plump Kernels – Firm and well-filled when pressed.
  • Colourful Variety – Yellow, white, or bi-colour for a sweet twist.

STORING YOUR CORN

  • Eat ASAP – Best within 1–2 days.
  • Keep Husks On – Refrigerate in the crisper drawer.
  • Freeze for Later – Blanch, cool, remove kernels, and freeze for up to 3 months.

COOKING & ENJOYING

Grill, steam, or boil your corn and elevate it with delicious toppings like:

MEXICAN AVOCADO & LIME

½ avocado, chopped

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp sour cream

2 tbsp chopped coriander

Mix & slather over warm corn for a creamy, zesty kick!

BEYOND THE COB

Add sweet corn to:

  • Salads for a crunchy bite
  •  Soups & chowders for depth
  •  Salsas & dips for a fresh burst
  •  Side dishes with butter & toppings
