Bahamas Superport Set When it is completed next year Burmah Oil Tankers’ offshore superport in the Bahamas will be able to handle 150 million barrels a year of crude oil shipments from the Middle East and elsewhere for eventual delivery to U.S. East and Gulf Coast refineries.

Harold Neigh, Ex tension consumer marketing specialist at The Pennsylvania State University, explains that sugar in the kernels gives the corn its sweet flavor. But after the ears are picked, the sugar begins to turn to starch. The higher the temperature, the faster this process takes place. To get the freshest product, Neigh says to buy sweet corn from an iced or refrigerated display and from a source that sells a lot of corn. Many growers will pick corn in the early mor ning and rush it to the roadside stand or food market where it’s refrigerated. If com isn’t cooled, it can lose up to one-half of its total sugar in 12 to 14 hours in summer weather. Look for corn that has bright green, snug husks. Dry yellow or straw colored husks are an in dication of age or damage. Mature corn has dried silk; immature corn has damp silk, explains Neigh. The ears should be well filled to the tip.
