How to choose fresh corn for a salad

The easiest way to choose an ear of corn is to take a quick look: peel down a bit of the husk and check for bright yellow, plump kernels. But since doing this can get you angry stares at the market, here’s how to choose corn without peeling the husk:

• Check out the color of the corn husk. If it’s a bright green and tightly wrapped against the cob, then the corn is fresh, a must for any corn salad recipe.
• Feel the kernels through the husk. The corn kernels should be plump and plentiful.
• Look for small brown holes in the husk, especially towards the top. Those are wormholes!
• The tassels (those things sticking up out of the top) should be brown and slightly sticky. If they’re dry or black, it means the ear of corn is old and stale.
• As tempting as it might be, don’t peel back the husk because it shortens the shelf life of the corn, causing it to dry out: Not gentle for other shoppers!
