To keep corn fresh and delicious for up to 1 year, you’ll need to preserve it properly. Fresh corn doesn’t last more than a few days at room temperature or 1–2 weeks in the fridge, so long-term storage requires freezing, canning, or drying. Here are the best ways:
—
🌽 1. Freezing (Best for Fresh Taste)
1. Choose fresh corn – use it the same day you pick or buy it.
2. Blanch the cobs:
Bring a big pot of water to a boil.
Add whole ears for 4–5 minutes.
Quickly move them to ice water for the same time.
3. Cut kernels (optional): after cooling, you can cut kernels off the cob if you prefer.
4. Pack: put cobs or kernels in freezer bags, remove air, and seal.
5. Freeze: lasts up to 12 months, keeping its sweet taste.
