Go for the corn with bright green husks that are tightly wrapped around the cob. 3. Choose the ones with stems that are still moist. 4. The corn tassels should be silky, sticky and moist. 5. Check for wormholes, worms, and bugs. 6. If possible, peel back the tops of the husks to check the tip of the corn cob.
