~48 pieces Sourced from Georgia Fresh Corn aka "Yellow Corn", "Maize", "Sweet Corn", "Yu-Mi", "玉米" Fresh corn is yellow kernels wrapped with bright green husk. Yellow corn is the predominant variety but there are also white and bicolor corns. Fresh corn is sweet with a soft, buttery flavor. Common application includes roasted and baked. Fresh corn is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection The fresh corn husk is bright green and wraps tightly against the corn. Check the tassels on top of the fresh corn. They should be brown, moist, and some sticky to the touch. Decay usually starts at the tassels. Avoid husk that is dry and yellow and avoid tassels that are black and dry. Storage Fresh corn should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of eighty-five to ninety percent. The typical shelf life is less than two weeks. Sugar content decreases rapidly during storage. At 50°F (10°C), the loss of sugar is about four times more rapid than at 32°F (0°C). At 86°F (30°C), sixty percent of the sugar can be converted to starch in a single day compared to six percent at 32°F (0°C). Fresh corn is sensitive to odor. Do not store fresh corn with any strong aroma products; especially scallion. Fresh corn is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening, over prolonged storage. Fresh corn should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid husk yellowing. Fresh corn produces a very low level of ethylene. Fresh corn is not sensitive to chilling injury and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing.
