Good corn on the Cob?

[Anonymous]

Any suggestions for where to buy great corn on the cob? Grocery store cobs are horrible. I live in North Bethesda/Kensington. TIA.

Find a farmer's market that grows it within 150 miles of you.

Twinsprings farms at the Bethesda market have really great corn (if they still have it). They are in Bethesda central market on Sundays and have a market schedule during the week in other locations in Moco and DC.

Norman’s farmers market on the corner of East-West and Jones Mill.

Type of corn matters. Age of it also.
Don't overcook it, like 1-2 min boil at most to keep it crisp and sweet. Overcooked makes it chewy and starchy.

Just microwave it in the husk. 6 1/2 min for two ears.

Thanks. Are they there daily?

I usually have a drive from the eastern shore this time of year and have gotten it at stands there. I will check this out. Thanks

Twin Springs at the Pike and Rose Saturday farmer's market (also Sunday at the Bethesda) has outstanding corn. They alse also have a church site at the corner of fernwood and democracy on Wednesday mornings. Both are near your location.
