Frozen Corn on the Cob
What it is
This product is whole corn cobs that have been frozen shortly after harvest. Freezing helps to preserve the corn's natural sweetness and texture. The cobs are typically left intact, offering a convenient way to enjoy corn without the need for shucking or de-silking before cooking. They are a good source of plant-based goodness.
How people cook with it

To prepare, you can boil the frozen cobs in water for about 5-7 minutes until tender. For a smoky flavor, grill them directly over medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes.
