IQF Sweet Corn Kernels

IQF Sweet Corn Kernels are a popular choice for the preparation of pizzas, soups, sandwiches and suppers.

The 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.

De-husking and de-kernelling matured, soft, juicy, and tenderly sorted cobs of sweet corn results in IQF sweet corn kernels with a rich taste of sweet corn. Flowing kernels are manually separated, cleaned, blanched, and dewatered. The obtained product is then sieved, checked, packed, and run through a metal detector before being placed in an individual quick freezer (IQF) or blast freezer at -40°C. Overall, the operation is run while strictly upholding hygiene standards along the processing line.
