Birds Eye Steamfresh Gold & White Corn
What it is
This product features a blend of sweet yellow corn kernels and tender white corn kernels. The corn is flash-frozen shortly after harvesting to preserve its natural flavor and texture. It comes in a convenient steamable bag, designed for quick preparation in the microwave or on the stovetop. This combination offers a slightly different sweetness and a pleasing visual contrast.
How people cook with it
This frozen corn is a versatile ingredient that can be added to a wide variety of dishes.
- As a simple side dish
- Mixed into salads
- Added to soups and stews
- Incorporated into casseroles
To prepare, you can place the unopened bag directly into the microwave for a few minutes, following the package instructions for your microwave wattage. Alternatively, the corn can be emptied into a saucepan with a small amount of water and heated on the stovetop until tender and hot. The steamable bag method is designed to lock in moisture and flavor, resulting in perfectly cooked corn without any added oil or butter needed for cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
The inclusion of both gold and white corn varieties offers a subtle difference in sweetness and a more appealing visual presentation compared to corn that is solely one color. The flash-freezing process helps maintain a fresher taste and firmer texture than some other preservation methods.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful vegetable side dish will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover corn should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated. It is best consumed within a few days. Uncooked, frozen corn should be kept in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below to maintain its quality and safety.
