Brilio.net - Corn can be processed in various ways, such as boiled, grilled, used as a filling for fritters, put in soup, or made into porridge. Because of its flexibility, many people store corn in large quantities. Usually, corn is stored in a peeled state and placed in the refrigerator to make it last longer. However, if stored too long, corn can become wrinkled.
According to bibitpertiwi.co.id, wrinkled corn occurs due to a decrease in sugar content due to improper storage. As a result, the corn kernels become wrinkled. Even so, wrinkled corn does not need to be thrown away immediately. There is a trick to restore its freshness. This trick is demonstrated by YouTube user DIRASA KULINER.
Instead of storing corn in the fridge, this trick only requires one simple ingredient to freshen up wrinkled corn. Want to know how?
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube DIRASA KULINER on Wednesday (9/10), first prepare a large container, then pour water. After that, put the corn that has wrinkled into the container. Make sure the entire surface of the corn is completely submerged in water, okay?

Soak the corn in water overnight. During the soaking process, make sure you always change the water regularly. After soaking overnight, the appearance of the corn will change. If initially the kernels were wrinkled and shriveled, now the corn is fresh again like when it was first peeled.
