"Sex is good, but not as good as fresh, sweet corn."
—Garrison Keillor

Golden yellow, silver-white, bicolor, red, or blue—choosing the perfect ear of sweet summer corn has more to do with personal preferences and regional availability than with the quality of one variety over another. “Bicolor corn seems to be the most popular with our customers these days, but some other varieties are just as good,” affirms Tonya Martisko, owner of Gaeddert Farms in Buhler, Kan.

Shuck this! Confessions of a sweet-corn addict

I have a confession to make: I’m addicted to summer sweet corn. And living in Vermont, the season starts much too late and ends much earlier than I’d like. When corn season hits, I’m the first in line at my favorite corn farmer’s stand at the farmers’ market. I also stop at a farmstand on my way home from work when I see the plump, bright green husks piled on the table. (You might even say I brake for corn.)
