Description
Corn is one of the world’s most popular vegetables, present in diets from all 5 continents. However, the odds are that when you order corn in a restaurant you’ll most likely receive sweet corn. Unlike field corn varieties, which are harvested when the kernels are dry and mature, sweet corn is picked when immature and eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. Quality sweet corn should have fresh, green husks that tightly fit around the ear and golden yellow silk ends.
How to Store
Storage
– Store immediately in the coldest part of the walk-in cooler. Cauliflower is very susceptible to damage from the heat of the kitchen.
– Keep original cellophane wraps on the heads to maintain shelf life and quality.

Handling
– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
– Cauliflower has an expected shelf life of 5-6 days in your cooler. Rotate frequently to maintain optimum quality.
