About Corn kernel
A corn kernel is an individual seed of the maize plant, attached to the cob when fresh and also sold dried or separately cut from the cob. Kernels vary in colour and size. Fresh kernels are juicy and tender when cooked, while dried kernels are firm and require more preparation before eating.
Kernels are eaten whole, cooked as a vegetable when fresh, or dried and used in other preparations. The name alone does not specify whether the kernel is fresh, dried, canned, or cooked, so the texture and culinary use depend strongly on its form.
