Corn is a nutritious grain. It has many different varieties. Glutinous corn and sweet corn are what people often buy. They are good ingredients for cooking corn. But how should we choose them when buying? People living in cities now don’t know much about corn. They don’t know how to choose glutinous corn or sweet corn. Let me, a native of the countryside, teach you a few tricks.

How to choose waxy corn How to choose sweet corn

1. First of all, we need to distinguish the varieties of corn

When buying corn, you should first figure out what flavor of corn you want to eat. If you want to eat sweet, choose corn with a yellow appearance or colorful corn. If you don’t want to eat sweets, you can choose corn with a white appearance, which is what people often call glutinous corn. This kind of corn can also be eaten by diabetics.

2. You should choose tender corn to buy

When choosing corn, you should buy those that are relatively tender. You can press the corn kernels with your fingers. It is best if they can be pressed but not ooze out water. If water oozes out, it means the corn is too tender. After cooking, it will not have chewiness and toughness, and it will have no taste. If you can't press it at all, it will feel too hard after cooking and will not taste good.

3. Look at the kernels when selecting corn

When choosing corn, whether it is sticky corn or sweet corn, you should choose the one with dense and full kernels. Also pay attention to its size. The best quality corn is about 20 cm in size and full of kernels. When choosing corn, you should also check whether the corn is infested with worms. If there are multiple infested parts, don't buy it, otherwise you will lose your appetite after cooking.
