Expert criticizes store policy: buy if shucked

The article discusses whether shoppers should shuck corn before purchasing it. Experts say it’s acceptable to do so if a trash bin is provided and the corn is bought afterward, but warn against shucking in stores without proper disposal options due to sanitation and freshness concerns. Proper inspection methods are recommended to assess corn quality without peeling back the husk, such as checking the silk, husk color, weight, and firmness. Shucking prematurely can lead to moisture loss, reduced sweetness, and food waste.
