Corn does not lose it sugar as quickly as you imply. If it did, then
roadside farmer markets would never be able to sell their corn. Corn picked
in the cool of the morning will be just fine at dinner time.


Actually, that depends on the cultivar. The old open pollinated corns turn to
starch VERY rapidly. Thats why Sugar enhanced and SH2 hybrids dominate the
commercial markets. Some of these things will keep for a week. For standard
corns a couple hours will make a difference.
