They used to eat grilled field corn until they tasted our sweet corn. I was glad to corrupt the European taste buds. Did the corn on the grill and boiled. They could not believe how great the corn tasted. Our local corn is just about done this year t done this year. It is a bummer. I had only about two dozen ears myself. We just started getting good local corn here. The local corn usually goes though early September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the stuff we have raised for foreign markets could just as well be field corn. Asian markets are like that too, very bland and starchy sweet corn. We mainly raise Super Sweet.

I cut both ends off, soak in a pot of water making sure to squeeze the corn to see air bubbles come out and soak in that water for like an hour.
