July 20, 2008 How To

Get some organic corn (or maize) at your nearest Farmer's Market. It's sweet. It's fresh. It's crunchy. And it tastes amazing. You can steam it, grill it or simply eat it raw! That's right, fresh raw corn tastes delicious in salads. Just remove the husks and silks, break off the stem holding the leaves or husks and then sit it on a cutting board top or wide end firmly pressing vertically on the cutting board. Use a sharp knife carefully slicing off kernels. Add the kernels to your all your salads. Eating fresh corn when it's in season is by far the best way to eat corn. Our whole industrialized food system is based on corn. But consuming corn syrup in sodas or corn flakes as sugar coated cereal candy is taking something wonderful and turning into something horrible. Don't compromise taste or freshness. Frozen corn and ready-to-use husked corn on the cob is not the same. Go to your nearest Farmer's Market or produce stand where it's just been picked the same day and try corn the way we're meant to eat it.
