Storage
Corn is at its best when it is eaten immediately after purchase. Do you want to store the corn? Place the corn cobs in the fridge. They can be saved for several days.
Corn can also be frozen. Remove the husks and freeze the cobs at once. The sooner the cobs are frozen, the better they will retain their flavour
Cleaning
Corn cobs can be cleaned very easily. Remove the husks by peeling them back. Remove the silk using a special brush. The corn is now ready to use.
The history of corn
Corn originates from Central America and has been cultivated since 5,000 BC. Initially the plant was used as animal forage (field corn). Sweet corn was discovered in the middle of the 19th century. Sweet corn is probably the result of a naturally-occurring mutation in the genes of field corn.
Archaeological finds reveal that 12,000 years ago the ancient Indian tribes in Mexico gathered and used corn-like plants. The plant has been cultivated in Mexico for almost seven thousand years. Corn was the Mayas' and Aztecs' main source of nutrition. These peoples even worshiped "Corn gods". In 1493 Christopher Columbus brought corn back to Europe.
