Why does adding salt toughen corn?

Adding salt to corn can toughen it because salt draws out moisture through osmosis. When salt is added to the corn, it causes the proteins in the kernels to denature, which can lead to a firmer texture. Additionally, the loss of moisture can result in a tougher bite, making the corn less tender. Cooking corn without salt initially allows it to retain its natural sweetness and tenderness.
