What it is
This is a package of pre-cooked white corn kernels, also known as mote. The corn has been softened through a cooking process, making it ready for immediate use in various dishes. It is a staple ingredient in many Latin American cuisines, offering a mild, slightly sweet corn flavor and a tender texture. The white corn variety provides a classic taste and appearance.
How people cook with it
Mote is a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into both savory and sweet preparations. Its cooked nature makes it a convenient addition to meals.

To use, simply drain the corn from its packaging. You can then warm it gently in a saucepan with a little water or broth until heated through. Alternatively, it can be added directly to hot dishes like soups, stews, or casseroles to absorb flavors. For salads, it can be used cold after draining. Mote can also be incorporated into baked goods or used as a base for vegetarian patties.
