Del Monte Cream Style Sweet Corn
What it is
This is a can of sweet corn that has been processed to a creamy consistency. The corn kernels are broken down and mixed with the natural juices and starches released during cooking. This creates a smooth, rich texture that is different from whole kernel corn. It is a convenient way to enjoy the flavor of sweet corn in a ready-to-use format.
How people cook with it
Cream style corn is a versatile ingredient that adds a sweet and creamy element to many dishes. It is often used as a side dish or as a component in casseroles and soups.

To prepare, simply open the can and heat the cream style corn on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired temperature. You can also heat it in the microwave. For added flavor, you can stir in a little butter, salt, or pepper. It can be served as a simple side dish or incorporated into more complex recipes where its creamy texture and sweet corn flavor are desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole kernel corn, cream style corn has a much smoother and thicker consistency due to the breakdown of the corn kernels. This makes it ideal for dishes where a creamy texture is preferred, rather than the distinct bite of individual kernels.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused cream style corn to a separate, airtight container. Refrigerate this container promptly. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its quality and freshness. Do not store leftovers in the opened can.
