You can shuck corn ahead of time. Refrigerate it promptly and use it soon for the best flavor.

Corn is best soon after harvest or purchase. If you are not cooking it right away, refrigerate it rather than leaving it on the counter.

Keep unshucked ears loose in the refrigerator. The husks help limit moisture loss.

Do not treat the husk as a reason to leave corn at room temperature for a day. Cold storage better preserves its quality.

Keep shucked corn in a bag in the refrigerator. For the best flavor, use it within two days.
