Why is corn on the street so fragrant and sweet, but when you cook it at home, it's hard, dry, and not sweet enough? Actually, it might just require a little trick.
When boiling corn, it's best not to boil it "naked." You can peel off the outer green leaves, leaving the inner white "husk" that's closest to the kernels. Boiling it with that layer of husk on can help the corn retain its original moisture and make the texture more tender and juicy.

If you find your boiled corn isn't sweet enough, try adding a little salt to the boiling water. The salt can enhance the corn's flavor and bring out a subtle sweetness. Additionally, corn generally only needs about ten minutes in boiling water. If you soak it in cold water for about half an hour before boiling, it will better preserve the corn's natural vitamins and will have a more resilient bite.
