So, how do you freeze sweet corn without blanching? Simple: just husk, silk, and cut the corn off the cob, then package it in airtight containers or freezer bags. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! However, keep in mind that this method works best with sweet corn varieties that are high in sugar content, like Silver Queen or Golden Bantam.

Another thing to consider is the freezer temperature. You'll want to make sure it's set at 0°F (-18°C) or below to prevent the growth of microorganisms and off-flavors. Don't worry, it's not rocket science, but you do need to be mindful of the temperature to get the best results.
