Nitzkowski, home economist of the Luzerne County Agricultural and Home Economics Extension As- sociation, says: “Rare is the person, and fortun- ate, who has not packed some corn on the cob that was doughy when it came to the table. And doughy corn is just about as unpalatable as any vegetable can be . .. More- over, this is a luxury type of pro- duct because so much space is wasted in the locker by the cob that must eventually be thrown away. Nevertheless, many people wish to pack it for the freezer.” To obtain a better product Miss Nitzkowski offers suggestions as a result of tests made. Doughiness in corn seems to be the result of the stage of maturity at which the corn is harvested. Corn is in prime condition for freezing only during a short period of its growth. Corn that is too young tends to be watery, but even this is better than that which is over-mature and will be doughy after it is thawed and + | cooked. To find out exactly the right stage for freezing requires ex- perimenting each year. 1% lower.
