Pick up the corn and compare its weight to other ears of a similar size. Heavier corn means more water content, which means juicier kernels. Light corn? Dry, starchy, and destined for a sad, microwave-in-the-break-room fate. You deserve better than that.
Imagine you’re a corn sommelier. Swirl the ear, feel the heft, and nod wisely. People will think you’re a professional. You’re welcome.
