How long does Corn on the Cob last?
Corn on the cob, when still in its husk, can last for a few days if stored properly:
- Room Temperature: If unhusked, corn on the cob can last for about 1 to 2 days at room temperature. It’s best to keep it in a cool, dry place.
- Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate unhusked corn on the cob in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. It can last for about 5 to 7 days this way. Keep it in its husk and place it in a plastic bag to retain moisture.
Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as mold, drying out, or a sour smell, before consuming corn on the cob. If it appears or smells off, it’s safer to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness. If you’ve already removed the husk, consume it within a day or two for the best taste and quality.
