What it is

Roasted corn is whole corn kernels that have been heated until browned and fragrant. It can be made by dry roasting, oil roasting, or oven roasting. Roasting brings out a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a firmer texture compared to fresh corn.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted corn as a flavorful ingredient and textural component. It adds a savory, roasted taste and a satisfying chew to foods. It is commonly found in frozen meals, dips, salsas, and side dishes.

Health notes

Corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary consumption of roasted corn.

Allergen info

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