Interesting fact

Rinsing Removes The Salt

Canning puts sodium into sweet corn — about 499 mg per cup in brine-packed corn with its liquid. Drain the can and rinse the kernels under tap water and the same cup measures 244 mg.

Practical guidance

How to choose and store Corn

How to choose

Choose firm, unbruised produce with no soft spots or damage. If buying pre-cut or bagged, pick only packs kept refrigerated or on ice.

Storage

Refrigerate perishable produce at 40°F (4°C) or below, and refrigerate anything pre-cut or packaged. Wash under running water just before eating.
