Handling protocols

  • Inspect the ears and remove any with visible mould, severe insect damage or soft spoiled areas.
  • Keep the husk on until preparation where practical; then remove the husk and silk and wash with clean water.
  • Boil, roast or grill the maize according to the intended dish.

Storage tips

  • Refrigerate fresh maize in the husk and aim to use within 1–2 days for best quality.
  • Where reliable refrigeration is unavailable, use the maize as soon as possible, preferably the same day.
  • Do not use ears that develop mould, slime or a strong sour or rotten odour.
