Photo: This corn is ready for picking.
The silk is dry and brown, and the kernels at the top of the corn have fully developed.
Once you have determined the corn is ready for picking, just grab the corn in your hand and twist it off the stalk.
Tip: Corn will start converting its sugars into starch as soon as it has been picked. To capture the natural sweetness of the corn, have the grill ready to go before you pick your corn and then immediately grill your corn after picking it. If you are growing sweet corn it is not necessary to immediately cook the corn. Sweet corn converts its sugars into starch at a slower rate than other corn.
