Roundy's Cream Style Golden Sweet Corn
What it is
This is a can of sweet corn that has been processed to create a creamy texture. The corn kernels are blended with a starchy liquid, often derived from the corn itself, to achieve a smooth, almost pudding-like consistency. It's a convenient way to enjoy the flavor of sweet corn without the need for extensive preparation. The golden variety indicates the color of the corn kernels used.

- Casserole ingredient
- Soup thickener
- Topping for baked goods
To prepare, simply open the can and heat the contents gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating and to maintain its creamy texture. It can be served as is, or seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper to taste. It also blends well into other recipes, adding moisture and a subtle corn flavor. For a richer dish, you can stir in a bit of cream or milk before heating.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole kernel corn, cream style corn has a softer, more uniform texture due to the blending process. This makes it ideal for dishes where a smoother consistency is desired, rather than distinct kernels. It also inherently contains more liquid, contributing to the overall moistness of a dish.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused cream style corn to a suitable container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within a few days. Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
