Corn on the cob: a quick question

Actress Katherine Hepburn went even further, as New England teen she would eat ripe fresh corn there in a field after picking according to an autobiography of hers i read.

Raw corn is what they used to give the long-distance swimmers (like Channel swimmers) for quick energy. Just toss them an ear from the boat. That was before "energy bars and gels", of course.

Boil or loaded with butter, salt and pepper, wrapped in foil and on the grill.

I would put them on the grill and roll them occasionally until the kernels are starting to barely shrivel. Then squeeze a lime all over them, sprinkle with salt and hot paprika, either Spanish or Indian depending on how hot you like it. Tasty and healthy.

Thanks for my something new i learned today. But it makes sense, since corn, like potatoes, is a starch and the digestive process converts it to sugar.
