1. Add these 2 more flavors to boiled corn
First of all, the first flavor is the salt that we often use in cooking. Why do you need to add salt to boiled corn? That’s because corn has a high sugar content. During the cooking process, adding some salt can promote the full distribution of sugar in corn, so that when we eat, we can taste the freshness and sweetness of corn. .
Someone may ask, why not add sugar to boiled corn? This way the corn will be sweeter.

Adding salt will sweeten from the inside out, so the correct way is to add salt instead of Sugar.

Three, other tips on cooking corn
1. About choosing corn. Different corn has different taste when cooked. Sweet corn has a sweeter taste and less starch content, while waxy corn has less juice and has a waxy taste, not as sweet as sweet corn. So everyone can choose according to their needs.
2. About grilling corn. Before we boil the corn, we must clean the corn and remove the corn’s whiskers. But be careful, old beards are not necessary, but tender beards can be left, which is more nutritious. Don’t chop off all the corn leaves. Leave the innermost layer or two of leaves, which can lock the moisture of the corn and cook it. The corn is more fragrant, tender and delicious.
