About Sweetcorn kernels

Sweetcorn kernels are the tender seeds removed from a sweet-corn cob. They are typically yellow, though sweet corn can also have other kernel colours, and are plump and juicy when fresh. Their texture is crisp when raw and softens with cooking, with a sweet, mild corn flavour.

Kernels are used cooked in side dishes, salads, soups, and other foods. They are sold fresh cut from the cob, frozen, or canned, and may be packed with liquid. This record refers to the kernels rather than the whole cob; processing and packing format affect texture and composition.
