Roundy's Cream Style Golden Sweet Corn
What it is
This is a can of sweet corn that has been processed to achieve a creamy texture. The corn kernels are typically blended with some of the liquid they were packed in, along with a starch or other thickener, to create a smooth, rich consistency. It's a convenient way to enjoy corn with a different mouthfeel than whole kernel varieties.
How people cook with it
This canned corn is ready to heat and serve as a side dish. It can also be incorporated into various recipes for added flavor and texture.
- As a simple side dish
- Mixed into casseroles
- Added to soups
- As a topping for baked potatoes
To prepare, simply open the can and pour the contents into a saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through. Be careful not to boil it, as this can alter the creamy texture. You can also microwave it in a microwave-safe dish, covered, for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. It is best served hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole kernel corn, cream style corn has a softer, more uniform texture due to the blending process. The added thickener creates a sauce-like consistency, making it richer and less distinct in individual kernel pieces.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add a comforting corn side dish to meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening the can, transfer any unused corn to a separate airtight container. Refrigerate this container and consume the leftovers within 3 to 4 days for best quality. Do not store leftover corn in the opened can.
