Many hold their wonderfulness for 10 days, which is a real treat for those that don't grow their own.
Again, yesterday, we were able to purchase Mr. Lucky brand sweet corn in a three pack at Soriana for 29.4 pesos. It was every good as the stuff available on the market in California. We have seen it twice. Are we posting this information on the forum here in Zihuatanejo? No way-we want to see it at the store sometimes so we can buy it!

Here, we don't wash them because if your neighbors don't give you enough fruit, often in named varieties enough to swim in, you can go to the corner and get them. Most of ours are picked up on the street as tree falls on the way to the beach.
David, sorry your's aren't worth much, just eat as many as you can and celebrate their flavor.
