Questions about Frozen corn kernels

How do you cook frozen sweetcorn on the hob?

Tip the kernels straight from the freezer into boiling water and simmer for 3–4 minutes, then drain well. There’s no need to thaw them first.

Can you put frozen sweetcorn straight into soup?

Yes. Add it for the last 5 minutes or so of cooking, and make sure the kernels are steaming hot all the way through before serving.

How should you store an opened bag of frozen sweetcorn?

Seal the bag and return it to the freezer promptly. If the kernels have thawed, keep them in the fridge and use within 24 hours; don’t refreeze them unless you’ve cooked them first.

What do you use frozen sweetcorn in?

It’s handy in tuna and sweetcorn jacket potatoes, chicken and sweetcorn soup, and corn fritters. Add it to the soup near the end so the kernels keep some bite.

Can frozen sweetcorn replace tinned sweetcorn?

Yes: use the same weight of kernels, but cook the frozen ones first. Tinned sweetcorn is already cooked, so drain it and add it near the end of a dish.

Is frozen sweetcorn a source of fibre?

Yes. A 100 g portion provides 5.3 g of fibre, making it a source of fibre.

Is it safe to eat frozen sweetcorn without cooking it?

Cook frozen sweetcorn before eating it, following the instructions on the pack. Don’t taste the kernels while they’re still frozen.
