What it is
Whole kernel corn is the intact kernels of the corn plant, a grain crop grown widely in the United States. It is typically harvested when mature and can be sold fresh, frozen, or canned. Processing for canned or frozen corn usually involves blanching (briefly boiling) and then packing in water or brine.
Why it's used
Whole kernel corn is used as a vegetable in a wide variety of dishes, adding sweetness and texture. Manufacturers include it in canned vegetables, frozen vegetable mixes, soups, casseroles, and ready-to-eat meals. Its natural sweetness and firm texture make it a popular addition to many savory and some sweet applications.
