Here’s the quirky fact that will blow your mind: Don't shuck it yet! Leave those husks on. They’re nature’s perfect wrapper.
The husks lock in moisture. Without them, the kernels dry out and shrivel. You’re basically creating corn jerky. Nobody wants that.
Keep the husks intact until you’re ready to cook. It’s like a tiny, green sleeping bag for your corn. How cute is that?
If you absolutely must remove the husks (maybe you’re meal-prepping like a hero), wrap the naked corn in a damp paper towel. Then seal it in a plastic bag. It’s a spa treatment for produce.
