Just make sure it's not that fake Nebraskan crap.

How can I ensure that I purchase authentic Iowan corn?

[u/amaethwr_ → u/snail-the-sage]

Look for 'feed corn' from your local farm store. We don't grow the sweet stuff much here.

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/amaethwr_]

I don't think that very much Midwestern corn is actually consumed by humans, at least without being highly processed first.

Living in the middle of Indianapolis, I've only had the opportunity to grab corn right of the stalk during harvest about 4-5 times in my life. Not one of those times has it been remotely edible. Each time, the corn was clearly bound for feed, starch/corn syrup/ethanol, or some other bullshit.

Google says that Washington and Minnesota produce a lot of the sweet corn that we eat as straight-up corn.

[u/amaethwr_ → u/OpeDefinitely]

It's for the cars and the cows. We don't eat that shit.

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/amaethwr_]

yeah, plus corn starch/syrup. it's insane that we grow so much of it.

[u/amaethwr_ → u/OpeDefinitely]

Sometimes you gotta plow over one of the most beautiful places in the world and turn it into a giant cancer factory. Just one of those things.

[u/DickWhittingtonsCat → u/amaethwr_]

You know that’s right. I’m not sure the shit pre-glyphosate was a barrel of laughs either to be honest.

[u/Feisty-Life-6555 → u/OpeDefinitely]

Makes good explosives

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/Feisty-Life-6555]

great source of combustible hydrocarbons

[u/Feisty-Life-6555 → u/OpeDefinitely]

Now you've gotten to engineering-y for me. This is why I'm at Iowa and not ISU or Purdue

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/Feisty-Life-6555]

yeah I know I have an IU flair but I have purdue degrees on my wall

don't ask

[u/Feisty-Life-6555 → u/OpeDefinitely]

It happens.

[u/rezzzzzzz → u/OpeDefinitely]

Plenty of sweet corn can be found across the state, dawg. Typically available mid summer.

Best grilled or cooked in the oven husks on. Mm mm mmm
