In the Palatinate region of Germany, fields of cornstalks primarily serve animal feed, highlighting a cultural difference in corn consumption compared to the U.S. where sweet corn is dominant.
Corn's beauty often goes unappreciated; growing up in the South, I didn't realize how much I took its varied uses for granted until visiting the Altobelli farm.
John and Becky Altobelli of Kinderhook, N.Y., showcase the unique flavors of their locally grown corn, which transforms fresh sweet corn from a fleeting treat to a cherished seasonal delight.
The Altobellis practice the best preservation method for corn's fleeting flavor by boiling, then freezing it, which enhances and retains its original quality for longer.
