What it is

It offers a readily available source of sweet corn for various culinary applications. The kernels are separated from the cob, making them easy to incorporate into dishes without additional preparation.

If canned, drain the liquid before using. If frozen, you can add them directly to your cooking or thaw them beforehand.

Their natural sweetness makes them a popular addition to many family meals.
