Sweetcorn - How do you know if it is ripe?
Books tell me various things but I still don't know.
Peel back the leaves and look at the colour - okay but I don't have enough
to spoil it by looking.
Stick your finger nail in and see if the juice is milky - as above
Wait until the tassels are brown - just wrong afaics
Any other methods? One book says the time of picking is critical for
sweetness.
