Should You Shuck Corn Before Buying | Wilmington News
Description
Summer’s here, and fresh corn is back — but should you shuck it before buying? While some check for bugs or bad kernels, experts warn that shucking exposes the corn to bacteria and speeds up spoilage. Farmers say every part of the plant has value — husks for teas, stalks for crafts — so respect the whole thing. Instead of shucking, judge quality by weight (heavier = juicier), firmness, bright green husks, sticky light-brown silk, and no holes. Skip the trash bin — your corn’s freshness starts with smart selection.
