Enjoy Summer Sweet Corn Any Time of the Year
Kids love corn on the cob because it's fun to eat. If you can't find fresh corn or if it's out of season, frozen makes a nutritious alternative. In fact, frozen corn may be a better source of vitamins and minerals than the fresh version. Shortly after picking, the corn is blanched and quickly frozen, which halts the loss of nutrients. But, like frozen broccoli, the key to keeping this kid-friendly veggie delicious is to not over-cook it, which may require a little more attention to the pot and the clock.
This method calls for stove-top cooking, but microwaving is also an option. Place the corn cobs on a microwave-safe dish and cover with a wet paper towel. Microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes, turning corn over halfway through.
