-Buy sweet corn when it's in season - between July and September.
-Select ears with bright green husks and moist, golden brown silk.
-Strip back part of the husk to check for tightly packed rows of plump glossy kernels. When you pop a kernel, juice should be milky.
-Try different colors. Corn can be white, yellow or bi-colored, and color is not an indicator of taste.
-Check for a full cob and a firm, full, blunt tip if the supermarket whon't let you strip husks.
-Buy fresh and keep cool. Corn begins converting sugar to starch the moment it is picked, so take along a cooler in which to pack it if you can.
