[the E. for elaphe. it is binomial nomenclature, when giving the species or scientific name of an animal, usually the genus is given along with the species, and sometimes the genus is abbreviated.]

How do you take away sweet taste on corn chowder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In a canned clam chowder, you can't really reduce the saltiness. (You can dilute the chowder by one half by adding an extra can of milk, cream, roux, etc., but this affects flavor.)

The best way to achieve a less-salty clam chowder is to make your own. It's not hard--here's an easy one:

Make a roux with butter and a small amount of flour--a roux is easy to make, consult any cookbook--the roux thickens the soup

Slowly mix in 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of dry white wine or a light-colored beer, whisking until the soup is thick again before adding more

Add black pepper, nutmeg, the juice of one lemon, and salt to taste (or omit salt)

Dice three or four red or new potatoes

Simmer the diced potatoes in the chowder for 10 minutes until they are just tender

Add two cans of drained clams (more if you like) and a cup of drained canned corn

Simmer until heated through

Serve immediately, garnish the top with oyster crackers or diced scallions/green onions

What fertilizer is best for sweet corn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no way to reasonably answer this question without knowing the cropping history of the field, the soil types present, how much and what kind of fertilizer has been added in the last several years, and preferably the results of a comprehensive soil test.

However, there is information available to tell you how much of various nutrients are removed from the soil by the growing crop. If you already have information on the cropping history and other variables, you can make a reasonable plan for fertilization based on these calculations. See the related link below.
