What it is

Corn kernels are the seeds of the corn plant (Zea mays). They are harvested and can be eaten fresh, canned, frozen, or dried. The kernels are the part of the plant that contains the starch and nutrients.

Why it's used

Corn kernels are used as a whole vegetable in many dishes, adding sweetness and texture. They are found in soups, salads, casseroles, and side dishes. Manufacturers use them for their flavor, color, and nutritional value.

Health notes

Corn is a grain that provides carbohydrates, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals. The FDA considers corn to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and its components. While generally considered safe, excessive intake of any single food can displace more nutrient-dense options.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
