What it is
This is canned whole kernel corn that has no salt added during processing. It is made from golden corn, which is known for its bright yellow color and slightly sweet taste. The kernels are typically packed in water or corn broth. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy corn without the added sodium, making it suitable for those monitoring their salt intake.
How people cook with it

- Added to salads
- Mixed into casseroles
- Used in soups

To prepare, simply drain the liquid from the can. You can then heat the corn on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, you can microwave it in a microwave-safe dish for a few minutes, checking for doneness. It can also be added directly to recipes like casseroles, soups, or stews where it will heat up during the cooking process. For a fresh flavor, you can rinse the corn under cold water before using it in cold dishes.
