Meijer Cream Style Golden Sweet Corn
What it is
This is a can of processed sweet corn. It is made from golden corn kernels that have been finely ground and combined with liquid to create a creamy texture. The corn is typically cooked and canned for convenience. It offers a smooth, rich flavor that is a departure from whole kernel corn.
How people cook with it
This canned corn is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Its creamy consistency makes it ideal for adding richness and body to recipes.
- As a side dish
- In casseroles
- As a soup thickener
- In corn pudding
To prepare, simply open the can and heat the corn gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. It can be served as is, or incorporated into other dishes. For stovetop heating, pour the contents into a saucepan and warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Avoid boiling. When adding to casseroles or soups, it can be stirred in directly during the cooking process to meld flavors and enhance texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole kernel corn, cream style corn has a softer, more uniform texture due to the grinding of the kernels. This process releases starches, which contribute to its signature creamy consistency and slightly sweeter, more concentrated corn flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add a creamy corn element to their meals.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion in a covered container. It should be consumed within a few days of opening the can. Proper refrigeration helps maintain its quality and prevents spoilage.
