Actually the extra moisture will cause the corn to ferment, it should
not be stored in a sealed plastic bag... once corn is harvested it
ceases to be a living plant, like say a carrot. If you've ever
noticed, carrots in teh stupidmarkt are usually in plastic bags, corn
is useally in it's husk in an open crate.
