No one food says summer more than corn on the cob. It's a favorite, but is it good for you?
In this Food for Thought, the nutritional lowdown on corn on the cob. It's actually a good source of B vitamins, folate, fiber and Vitamin C.
Look for husks that are fresh and green, not dried out. And don't shuck at the store, because the husks protect the flavor. You can peel it pack to check the kernels. Make sure they're plump and tightly arranged in rows. You can test for juiciness by poking a kernel with your fingernail. And be sure to store corn in the fridge until you're ready to cook it, which should be the same day you buy it.
