Kroger Corn Tots
What it is
Kroger Corn Tots are small, bite-sized pieces of corn that have been processed and frozen for convenience. They are designed to offer a simple way to include corn in meals. The product is made from corn kernels that are typically processed to create a uniform shape and texture, making them easy to handle and cook. These tots are a frozen vegetable product, intended to be kept in the freezer until ready for use.
How people cook with it
These corn tots are a versatile ingredient that can be added to a variety of dishes. They are a convenient way to incorporate corn into everyday cooking.
- Added to soups
- Mixed into casseroles

To prepare Kroger Corn Tots, they can be cooked directly from their frozen state. They can be heated in a skillet on the stovetop with a little oil or butter until they are tender and lightly browned. Alternatively, they can be added to boiling water for a few minutes until heated through. They are also suitable for baking in the oven or adding directly to dishes like stews, chilis, or pasta sauces during the last part of cooking. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving to achieve the best texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole kernel corn, corn tots are processed into smaller, more uniform pieces. This can make them easier to eat, especially for children, and allows them to blend more seamlessly into dishes. The frozen preparation also ensures a longer shelf life compared to fresh corn.
