About Corn, yellow, whole kernel, frozen, microwaved
Corn, also known as maize (Zea mays), is one of the world's most important grains and a sweet, sunny vegetable on the summer table. First domesticated by Indigenous peoples of the Americas thousands of years ago, it remains a global staple. Sweet corn is eaten fresh on the cob, while field corn is dried and milled into cornmeal, grits, and flour or processed into oil, starch, and syrups. Naturally gluten-free, corn provides carbohydrates for energy along with fiber, B vitamins, and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which give the kernels their golden color, and it also comes in blue, red, and multicolored varieties.
It is endlessly useful in the kitchen: grilled or boiled on the cob, cut into salads and salsas, popped into popcorn, hulled into hominy, or ground for cornbread and tortillas. Fresh sweet corn is at its best soon after picking, when the sugars are highest and before they turn to starch, so use it quickly or refrigerate the ears in their husks to slow the change.
