Farm-Fresh Chongming Waxy Corn (5 lbs)

Discover the authentic, farm-to-table taste of our fresh waxy corn, sourced directly from the renowned agricultural region of Chongming, Shanghai. Unlike the sugary-sweet corn common in many supermarkets, this traditional variety is celebrated for its wonderfully satisfying, chewy texture and a subtle, nutty sweetness. Each bite offers a uniquely tender and glutinous experience, making it a true culinary delight.

Key Benefits

Authentic Regional Flavor:** Harvested from local family farms in Chongming, an area famous for its rich soil and high-quality produce.

Unique Waxy Texture:** Enjoy the delightfully sticky and chewy (or "nuo") texture that sets this corn apart. It’s less about sweetness and more about a satisfying, starchy bite reminiscent of sticky rice.

Naturally Grown Charm:** This is a late-season autumn corn. Due to natural summer pollination, some cobs may have slightly uneven or missing kernels. These minor imperfections are a sign of its authentic, non-industrial origin and do not impact the superior flavor and texture.

Peak Freshness:** We ship this corn fresh so you can enjoy it at its best. The delicate aroma and flavor are most vibrant when eaten soon after arrival.

How to Use

This versatile corn is best prepared simply to let its natural flavor shine.

1. **Steaming or Boiling:** Place the husked cobs in a pot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly translucent.

2. **Grilling:** Brush the cobs with a little butter or oil and grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through.

Care & Safety

For the best taste and texture, please refrigerate and consume your corn as soon as possible after delivery. The natural flavor and aroma are most potent when fresh and will gradually fade over time.
