National Corn on the Cob Day is celebrated on June 11th every year. This beloved holiday has its roots in the early 19th century, when corn on the cob became a staple of American cuisine. Prior to the mid-19th century, corn was typically cooked in large batches and served as a mush or porridge. However, with the advent of new farming techniques and transportation methods, fresh corn became more widely available and its popularity as a standalone side dish began to rise. By the early 20th century, corn on the cob had become a summertime staple, particularly at family gatherings and barbecues.
To celebrate National Corn on the Cob Day, you can start by grilling or boiling your favorite ears of corn to perfection. Here are a few tips to take your corn game to the next level: first, choose the right type of corn - look for varieties with high moisture content like Silver Queen or Golden Bantam. Next, make sure to husk your corn carefully, removing any silk or debris that may be hiding beneath the husk. Finally, don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings - try adding a sprinkle of cotija cheese, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, or a dollop of spicy mayonnaise to give your corn some extra flavor. Whatever your favorite way to enjoy corn on the cob, June 10th is the perfect excuse to gather 'round the grill and celebrate this delicious summer tradition!
