Description

Frozen corn in butter sauce is a practical and delicious ingredient that combines sweet corn kernels, preserved through freezing to maintain their freshness, with a rich butter sauce that enhances their flavor and texture. Corn is one of the most important and widely consumed cereals in America, originating in Mesoamerica, where it was cultivated by ancient indigenous civilizations such as the Mayans and Aztecs.

This product is ideal for incorporating into various recipes, whether as a quick side dish, in soups, salads, or main courses. The butter sauce provides a subtle creaminess and a touch of smoothness that complements the natural sweetness of the corn, making it adaptable to both savory and sweet preparations.

From a nutritional standpoint, corn is a good source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and contains B vitamins as well as natural antioxidants. The butter adds fats and a higher energy content, so it is recommended to balance its use within a balanced diet.

Regarding its names, in different Hispanic American countries, frozen corn in butter sauce may simply be referred to as "corn with butter" or "corn on the cob in butter" (when kept whole). You can also find names like "choclo in butter" in countries of the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, Peru), with "choclo" being the common term for tender corn.
