Cooking tips

Freshly harvested corn from the field can be boiled in just water without any seasoning, as its natural sweetness is excellent.
Corn with kernels that are too dark in color may be tough and hard, so choose ones with lighter-colored kernels.
After boiling, let the corn cool slightly, then store in an airtight container or zipper bag in the freezer to enjoy for a long time.
