Canned Sweet Corn

Canned corn is a pantry staple with a wide variety of uses.

Sweet corn, also known as sugar corn is a variety of maize with high sugar content. In contrast to field corn types, which are collected after the kernels are dry and fully developed, sweet corn is harvested when it is still in the milk stage and prepared and consumed as a vegetable as opposed to a grain. Sweet corn must be consumed fresh, canned, or frozen to prevent the kernels from becoming tough and starchy, as the maturation process of sweet corn involves converting sugar to starch.

Canned corn adds some sweetness and a much-appreciated splash of colour, whether you use the kernels in soup, sides, salad, desserts, or even just eat it straight from the tin!

It tastes just as nice canned as it does fresh, and provides a huge amount of fibre, protein, and potassium.
