Frozen Super Sweet White Corn Kernels
What it is
These are kernels of white corn that have been harvested at their peak sweetness and then flash-frozen to preserve their flavor and texture. The "super sweet" designation indicates a higher sugar content than standard sweet corn varieties, resulting in a naturally sweeter taste. The kernels are typically cut from the cob and are ready for cooking straight from the freezer.

To prepare, you can cook the frozen corn kernels directly from the freezer.
