Canned Corn

Store unopened cans in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, transfer corn to an airtight container and refrigerate. Discard if can is damaged or contents have an off smell.

Drain and rinse canned corn before using to remove excess sodium and starchy liquid.

Add canned corn towards the end of cooking to maintain its texture.

Its sweetness pairs well with savory dishes like chili, cornbread, and tacos.

Consider brands with no added salt for a healthier option.
