Frozen Corn on the Cob
What it is
This product consists of whole ears of corn that have been harvested, blanched, and then frozen to preserve their freshness and flavor. The freezing process helps to lock in the natural sweetness and texture of the corn kernels. It is a convenient way to enjoy corn when it is not in season or when fresh corn is not readily available. The ears are typically kept intact, making them easy to handle and cook.

To prepare, you can boil the frozen corn on the cob directly in water until tender, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
