Questions about Yellow whole kernel corn
How do you cook whole-kernel corn so it stays sweet and tender?
Simmer fresh kernels in lightly salted water for about 4–5 minutes; frozen kernels usually need 3–5 minutes. Drain as soon as they are tender, as prolonged cooking can make them less sweet.
How should you store leftover cooked corn kernels?
Cool them promptly, then keep them in a covered container in the fridge and use within 3–4 days. You can also freeze them in a sealed bag or container.
What can you make with whole-kernel corn?
Stir it into chowder, fried rice or a bean salad, or use it in corn fritters and succotash. For a quick side, warm the kernels with a little butter and chopped spring onion.
Can you use whole-kernel corn instead of peas in a recipe?
Usually, yes: use the same amount in soups, stews, fried rice or salads. Corn is sweeter and firmer than peas, so it will change the flavour and texture a little.

No. Whole-kernel corn is made up of intact kernels, while cornmeal is dried maize ground into a coarse or fine meal. The kernels work in salads and soups; cornmeal is used for foods such as polenta and cornbread.
