June 11th is National Corn on the Cob Day! The love of sweet corn
, and it’s believed to come originally from Mexico. Today, some call it cornstick, others call it sweet pole, but when it comes to warm weather cooking…we just want to eat it!
The sweetness of sweet corn doesn’t hang around for very long. It has to be picked at its freshest, otherwise there’s a risk of…nothing really; it’s just slightly less amazing. If you plan on doing the picking yourself, there’s a trick to spotting when the corn is ready…during the milk stage, while the kernels are still soft. So steam it, boil it, grill it or roast it…just ENJOY!
