Kishida Farm Daisetsuzan’s Golden Gold Rush Corn
Sweetness That Pops! A Corn Like No Other
One bite is all it takes to experience the burst of sweetness that will leave you amazed! The secret lies in the thin, soft skin of the kernels, so tender they can even be eaten raw. Gold Rush truly represents the pinnacle of sweet corn varieties.
Timing is Everything: The Art of Perfect Harvesting
Harvesting is the most critical mission in corn cultivation. Timing is everything. If harvested too early, the kernels are small, immature, and shrivel when boiled. If harvested too late, the kernels become tough, impacting their flavor and sweetness.
To determine the perfect harvest time, we check the corn silk for a deep brown color and gently feel the fullness of the kernels at the tip of each cob. Immature corn has underdeveloped tips. By repeating these careful checks, we ensure we harvest at the optimal time.
Freshness is Key: The Importance of Post-Harvest Care
Corn quality deteriorates quickly after harvest, making proper handling crucial. The term "morning-picked corn" is popular for a reason—it’s vital to harvest corn in the cool morning hours before the temperature rises. As the temperature climbs, the sugar content drops rapidly.
At Kishida Farm, we start harvesting at 5 a.m., finishing before the temperature rises. Immediately after harvest, the corn is chilled to prevent sugar loss and maintain its peak freshness. It is then shipped in a chilled state, ensuring it arrives at your door fresh, juicy, and bursting with sweetness.
Locking in Freshness with Retort Processing
Freshly harvested corn is immediately boiled and processed into retort pouches, preserving its just-picked flavor all year round. Each pouch locks in the corn’s natural sweetness and juiciness, making it a special treat to enjoy anytime.
This meticulous care and dedication set our corn apart from supermarket varieties, delivering the ultimate taste experience!
