Corn Care Tips
Hunter Brothers take great pride and care in producing the sweetest, most tender sweet corn there is. Here are a few tips so that you can ensure it's at its peak when you finally get to eat it.

Tip #1: The sweetest corn, is the freshest corn. Buy the corn as close to the day you plan to eat it.
Tip #2: Hydrocooling helps keep sweet corn fresh. If you do not plan to eat the corn right away, keep it cool and moist.
Fridge: Store the corn, unhusked, in the fridge. Cover with a damp cloth if you're planning to keep it any length of time. Even hydrocooled sweet corn will gradually lose its sweetness. Hunter Brothers recommended eating it within 4 to 7 days of its purchase
Cooler: Planning a corn boil? Pack corn, unhusked, in cooler filled with crushed ice.
Nature's cooler: If you have a BIG bag of corn (6-7 dozen), keep it cool by hosing it down with cold water from a garden hose (in a shady area) or by keeping it in a cool lake, stream, etc. Corn floats, so remember to turn it over to the other side from time to time.
