How to freeze corn without blanching
What happens here
The farmer demonstrates the process of trimming and shucking a corn cob. He uses the knife to cut off the top end of the corn where it connects to the stalk, noting that this is where worms are often found. He also trims the bottom end. After cutting, he peels back the remaining husks by hand to reveal the clean corn cob. He emphasizes that all discarded parts, including worm-infested tips, will be fed to the goats, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Goal: Clean and prepare corn cobs by removing husks and damaged ends.
