Corn Kernels

Corn Kernels

EverydayFresh

Corn kernels are the edible seeds of the maize plant, consumed fresh as a sweet, starchy vegetable or dried as a grain. When harvested fresh, these golden-yellow kernels contain natural sugars that gradually convert to starch, offering a juicy crunch and mildly sweet flavor when raw or lightly cooked. A gluten-free carbohydrate source, they provide dietary fiber and essential nutrients like vitamin C and folate, commonly prepared by boiling, grilling, or incorporated into salads and salsas.
