Summer Time Sweet Corn Recipe at The Market at Del Val

Move over, spring. Summer is coming in full swing! The farmer market’s bins are getting filled with local goods such as peas, beans, asparagus, raspberries, blueberries, tomatoes, cherries, and SWEET CORN! That’s right, just in time for July 4th! And not only does sweet corn taste great, cooking and eating it can provide you with amazing health benefits.

A study conducted by Cornell University food scientists found that cooking sweet corn increases its antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are known to stop free radicals, which can return a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, cataracts, and even Alzheimer’s. Sweet corn is high in calories, however, so stick to one serving!

Starting this July 4th weekend, the sweet corn available in the market will be from their sister location, Shady Brook Farm. Located at 2100 Lower State Rd., Doylestown, stop down to get fresh sweet corn, local lettuce and tomatoes, and homemade guacamole for your Fourth of July Picnic!
