Birds Eye Butter Sauced Corn
What it is
This is a frozen vegetable product featuring sweet corn kernels coated in a rich butter sauce. The corn is typically harvested at its peak ripeness and then flash-frozen to preserve its fresh taste and texture. The addition of the butter sauce enhances the natural sweetness of the corn, making it a convenient and flavorful side dish.

To prepare, simply place the frozen contents of the bag into a skillet or saucepan.

Ensure the corn is thoroughly heated before serving.
