Corn should be cooked and eaten soon after picking for the best taste. As fresh corn ages it loses it´s sweet taste, it´s nutrients, and it becomes starchy, tough and rather tasteless.
After buying, wrap unhusked ears in a plastic bag and refrigerate until preparation time. Do not remove husks before storing fresh corn....The husks help retain freshness.

The corn is past prime, not to say it is bad, but some of the sugar has already turned to starch, and starches cook/color differently than sugars do. The best way to determine if the cob is still good to eat is still the old taste test.

When is corn at its freshest?
Your best bet for fresh corn is to buy from a local farm stand-- It gets starchy after picking, and some grocery store produce has traveled a long way. (My grandfather used to say that the best corn-on-the-cob was obtained by boiling a big pot of water and then picking the corn.)Corn is generally a summer crop, but depending on weather, which hybrid is planted and how far north you are, there can be huge variation. First crop is approximately 125 days (4 months!) after emergence, which in northern states with short growing seasons mean no corn until as late as mid-August.

How CAN I cook sweet corn?
If you are talking corn on the cob- Do not remove the husk. Soak in water whole for an hour. I wrap it in foil; I guess you don't have to. Throw it on the BBQ on a med low heat. The moisture in the husk steams the corn. It does take me a couple of hours this way. or If you want the BBQ flavor but want to get it faster. Boil the husked corn in water containing salt and sugar until the kernels are tender then throw it on the BBQ for just a few minutes. Make sure to rotate it. *** If you can, use hickory or mesquite wood chip. Great flavor!!

Can gerbils eat cooked corn?
Hello. I fed my 4 adult gerbils barbecued corn on the cob. They enjoyed it and there were no negative effects. But I didn't give them very much. Just a small 1 inch section of the cob. They didn't eat it all, and i removed the uneaten portion the next morning. I buy the corn on the cobs, dried, from the pet shops. The package says you can pop them and then give it to them that way if you want.
