Fresh, English sweetcorn is unlike anything else. It's sweet, creamy and nutty – and totally addictive. You can gloss it with a bit of chilli butter or throw it on the BBQ, but it's really amazingly delicious if you just steam or boil it until tender (about 20 minutes) and gloss it with just the tiniest amount of butter. Heavenly! Snap it up while you can.

The Edwards family first began farming in Lincolnshire in the 1700's. Many of the traditional farming methods currently employed by New Farm Organics have been passed on through the generations, from father to son. It is this rich heritage and experience that has been fundamental to New Farm Organics success in pioneering the growth of UK organic farming.
New Farm Organics consists of two farms. One of them has been free of pesticides and artificial fertilisers since the 1800's, with both becoming
officially organic in 1988. So, we’re talking about decades and centuries of pure, organic farming! Long may their success continue.
If you need the corn as one ingredient among others it is easier than you think to scrape the grains off. Remove the leaves, and then scrape down, with a knife, as near to the core as possible. To eat as corn on the cob, simply remove the leaves, rinse and then place in boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Sweet corn should be eaten as soon as possible, to avoid all the sugars turning into starch. You should keep it in the fridge in a plastic covering. Suitable for home freezing.
