🌽 To roast corn, simply shuck the ears and discard the leaves and silk. HINT: If you’re looking for ways to get little ones involved in the kitchen, this is a task that is perfect for little hands. Place the ear of corn over flame on either your gas range or on your gas or charcoal grill. When the kernels get a bit of char color on them, use tongs to flip the corn. Add as much or as little color as you like! 🇲🇽 Do you know how corn became, well, corn? Mexico is the land of corn. It’s processed and used in pozole; it’s used to make syrup; it feeds livestock; it’s ground to make tortillas, the base for hot beverages like atole, and the masa for tamales. Maíz is the soul of Mexico and holds a special place in the country’s cocinas and economy. Viva México!
