What it is

Fire roasted corn is sweet corn that has been exposed to direct flame or high heat, giving it a smoky flavor and slightly charred appearance. It is typically made by grilling corn on the cob or roasting kernels in a pan over high heat. This process enhances the natural sweetness of the corn and adds a savory, smoky dimension.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fire roasted corn to add a smoky flavor, appealing texture, and visual appeal to a variety of savory dishes. It is often found in frozen meals, dips, salsas, chilis, and side dishes. The charring and roasting process intensifies the corn's natural sweetness and provides a desirable textural contrast.

Health notes

Corn is a whole grain and a vegetable, providing carbohydrates, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. The U.S. National Academies have not established a tolerable upper intake level for corn. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and its components, but have not set specific numeric limits for its consumption as a food ingredient. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of fire roasted corn.

Allergen info

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