Storing and Freezing Tips

• Storing – Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. We love to use the leftovers and make Corn Salad buy taking the corn kernels off the ears of corn.
• Freezing – We like to freeze the corn after removing the kernels and place in a freezer-safe bag. The corn will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
• Reheat – Reheat the corn in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through.
