Birds Eye Baby Gold & White Corn
What it is
This is a frozen blend of two types of sweet corn: tender baby yellow corn and sweet baby white corn. The corn is harvested at its peak and then flash-frozen to preserve its natural sweetness and texture. It offers a slightly different visual appeal and a subtly varied taste profile compared to single-color corn varieties. The small size of the kernels makes it particularly appealing for certain dishes.
How people cook with it
This corn blend is a versatile addition to many meals, bringing a touch of sweetness and color.
- As a side dish
- In salads
- Mixed into rice dishes
- Added to soups
To prepare the corn, you can simply heat it on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop cooking, place the desired amount in a saucepan with a small amount of water or butter and heat until tender. In the microwave, place the corn in a microwave-safe dish, add a tablespoon of water, cover, and heat for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. It can also be added directly to simmering dishes like stews or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from standard corn by offering both yellow and white kernels, which provides a visual contrast. The 'baby' designation suggests smaller, more tender kernels than those found in mature corn, potentially leading to a more delicate texture and a slightly sweeter flavor profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and visually interesting vegetable to complement their meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, transfer any unused corn to an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Proper storage helps maintain the corn's quality and prevents freezer burn.
