Sweet Whole Kernel Corn
What it is
This is a can of sweet corn kernels, harvested and preserved at their peak freshness. The canning process locks in the natural sweetness and tender texture of the corn. It is a convenient way to enjoy the taste of summer corn any time of year. The kernels are plump and ready to be heated and served.
