To ensure the quality of the product, Taste one raw grain.. If it is light, sweet and juicy, you can safely gain an armful of yellow heads. But if there is little juice in the grain, and it is saturated yellow, put the corn aside. This is a sure sign of an old product. Even the wisdom of Raisa Semyonovna will not help here. If the taste of the grain is neutral, it is most likely corn of the fodder variety. The sweetness should be felt immediately.

Making juicy corn

5. When the corn is finished, do not even think of eating it right away. First, drain the water, cover the pan with a lid and wrap it in a towel. In this state, the cobs should spend another 20-30 minutes. During this time, the corn will steam and become even more tender. Just remember how you made your morning oatmeal. The same principle works here.
   
   
   
   
6. After half an hour, take the towel off the pan and enjoy the juicy sweet corn.
