When purchasing corn, look for ears with bright green, snugly fitting husks and moist, golden brown silks. Kernels should be tender, plump and milky, and come all the way to the ear s tip. Rows should be tightly spaced. Remove husks and silks just before cooking. An all-American favorite is boiled or grilled corn on the cob.
