Finally Revealed! Five Ways To Incorporate The Delicious Florida Sweet Corn To Your Restaurant Menu

The famous Florida sweet corn is in season. This means two things for the restaurant entrepreneur. First is it means you’ll be busy making changes to your menu. Second, it means increased sales as you’ll be seeing more of your customers who love Florida sweet corn – and there are a lot of them.

Here are five delicious ways to incorporate Florida sweet corn to your menu.

1. Try a new salad
Corn is present in a lot of salad recipes. But sweet corn, specifically Florida sweet corn, that’s something else. Fact is sweet corn is so different in taste when incorporated to common salad recipes that Florida’s Department of Agriculture website features an entire recipe for it.

Here is another blog dedicated to corn salad recipes.

2. Beyond the usual chowder
I like corn in my soup, and so does my wife. Add some chicken and dumpling to the usual mix and you got a winner under your restaurant’s name.

Here are two examples of Florida sweet corn recipes that go beyond the usual chowder: Summer Soup of Butternut and Corn and Chief Justin’s Sweet Corn and Tomato Bisque.

3. The oven is your new best friend
No doubt one of the best ways to prepare sweet corn. What you should do is drizzle a bit of olive oil and some fresh herbs on each ear and wrap them in foil individually. Get creative by trying different flavors. Cilantro and lime, some chili powder, etc.

Note: Bake the corns at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

4. Salsa all the way
There are thousands of different salsas and dips that taste good with corn and taste even better with Florida sweet corn! Here’s a personal tip from me: let the mixture sit in the refrigerator a few hours or overnight to let the juices blend thoroughly.

5. It’s all about cream
Simply put, creamed corn is delicious. But have you tried creamed Florida sweet corn yet? If not, try this amazing recipe from Chef Justin, obviously a Florida sweet corn fanatic, and then we’ll talk.

Florida sweet corn is more than just another item on your menu. It is a distinct flavor that, when prepared well, will bring in new patrons and keep the old ones loyal to your tables.
