It would seem that there is nothing difficult in preparing corn, it is enough to put the cob in the water and send it to the fire, but everything is not so simple. In order for the cooked plant to be tasty, you need to pay attention to certain points even when choosing cobs:

It is advisable to acquire the plant from the beginning to the end of August, since it is only during this period that it is already mature, but not yet overripe.
During the purchase of cobs need special attention to their color and softness. It is best to pick a plant with milky white or light yellow grains. To the touch the cob should be soft and elastic. In no case should not choose a plant with not round grains, because it indicates the inconclusive maturation of the cob, respectively, it is unsuitable for cooking.
You should not buy a plant with dried leaves, because it is almost a 100% guarantee that the corn is overripe (how much to cook old corn so that it becomes soft and juicy, read here).

As time passes, corn is cleaned by removing all leaves and antennae. In the presence of darkened or deformed grains, they are also recommended to remove.
