Description

Frozen whole corn is a versatile ingredient consisting of whole fresh corn kernels, harvested at their peak ripeness and quickly frozen to preserve their flavor, texture, and nutritional properties. This product is ideal for use in a wide variety of recipes, from stews and soups to salads and side dishes.

Corn is a cereal grain originally from Mesoamerica, specifically from the region that now includes Mexico and Central America, where it has been cultivated and consumed for thousands of years. Thanks to its extensive cultivation, corn is a staple food in many Hispanic American cultures.

Frozen whole corn retains much of its nutritional value, being a good source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, B vitamins (such as thiamine and niacin), and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. It also contains natural antioxidants that contribute to overall health.

In different Hispanic American countries, corn can have various names. Some synonyms or terms related to whole corn include: choclo (in Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia), elote (Mexico and some Central American countries, although it usually refers to the fresh cob), sweet corn (when referring to sweeter varieties), and corn kernel. For frozen corn in particular, it is often simply called frozen corn or frozen corn kernels.
