What it is
This product contains tender sweet corn kernels that have been carefully selected and preserved. The corn is typically packed in water or brine to maintain its freshness and natural sweetness. It offers a convenient way to enjoy the taste and texture of corn without the need for fresh preparation. The kernels are ready to be incorporated into various dishes, saving time in the kitchen.
How people cook with it
These corn kernels are a versatile ingredient that can be added to a wide range of meals. They are perfect for quick additions to salads, soups, or side dishes.
- Added to salads
- Mixed into soups
- Served as a side dish
- Incorporated into casseroles
To use, simply drain the liquid from the can or pouch. The corn can be enjoyed cold directly from the container, or it can be heated. To heat, you can add it to a saucepan with a little butter or water and warm it through over medium heat. Alternatively, it can be added to dishes during the last few minutes of cooking, such as stews, chili, or pasta sauces, to add a touch of sweetness and texture. It is also excellent stirred into rice or quinoa.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh corn on the cob, this product is pre-cooked and requires no shelling or lengthy preparation. Canned corn may have a slightly softer texture than frozen corn, which is flash-frozen shortly after harvest. The flavor is also typically sweeter than field corn varieties.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, transfer any unused corn to a separate airtight container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within a few days. Unopened cans or pouches can be stored in a cool, dry pantry until their expiration date.
