Del Monte Whole Kernel Corn, 29 oz Can
What it is
This is a can of sweet corn kernels packed in water. The corn is harvested at its peak and then canned to preserve its fresh flavor and texture. It offers a convenient way to enjoy the taste of summer corn any time of year. The kernels are whole and distinct, providing a satisfying bite.
How people cook with it
Whole kernel corn is a versatile ingredient that can be added to many dishes. It brings a touch of sweetness and a pleasant texture to both savory and sweet preparations.
- Added to soups and stews
- Mixed into salads
- Served as a side dish
- Incorporated into casseroles
To use, simply drain the liquid from the can. The corn can then be heated on the stovetop in a saucepan with a little butter or water until warmed through. It can also be added directly to recipes like casseroles, soups, or chili during the last few minutes of cooking to heat. For a quick side, season with salt and pepper after heating.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to creamed corn, whole kernel corn retains the distinct shape and texture of individual kernels. This provides a firmer bite and a less saucy consistency, making it ideal for dishes where you want the corn to stand out as separate pieces.

Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add corn to their meals will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused corn to a suitable container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within a few days. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
