About the product

Known As: Sweet Corn Dane; Sweet Corn Kernels

Appearance: Sweet corn kernels, commonly referred to as “dane,” are plump, juicy, and uniform in size. They are typically golden yellow, though some varieties may have kernels that are white, pale yellow, or a mix of both. Each kernel is slightly curved and smooth, with a glossy surface that reflects their moisture content.

Texture: Sweet corn kernels have a tender and succulent texture. When bitten into, they burst with juice, offering a satisfying crunch that is softer and more tender compared to field corn. The texture remains consistent whether the kernels are fresh, frozen, or canned, though fresh kernels may have a slightly crisper bite.

Flavor: Sweet corn kernels are known for their naturally sweet flavor, which is due to their high sugar content. The taste is mild, buttery, and often described as creamy with a hint of nuttiness. The sweetness is most pronounced when the kernels are fresh or immediately after cooking, as the sugars in sweet corn can begin to convert to starch over time.

Nutritional Content: Sweet corn kernels are relatively low in calories and fat but are a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy. They also offer dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, and potassium. Additionally, sweet corn contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for eye health.

Culinary Uses: Sweet corn kernels are highly versatile in the kitchen. They can be boiled, steamed, grilled, or microwaved and served as a side dish with butter and seasonings. They are also commonly used in salads, soups, stews, casseroles, and stir-fries. Sweet corn is a popular ingredient in dishes like corn salad, corn salsa, and cornbread, and it can also be used as a topping for pizzas and tacos.

Harvesting: Sweet corn is harvested when the kernels are fully developed but still in the milky stage, typically about 18 to 24 days after the silks emerge. This timing ensures the highest sugar content and the best flavor and texture for the kernels.

Storage: Fresh sweet corn kernels should be consumed as soon as possible after harvesting for the best flavor. If not used immediately, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Frozen sweet corn kernels are a convenient option for longer storage, as they retain much of their flavor and nutritional value when properly frozen. Canned sweet corn is another option, offering a longer shelf life and easy storage.
