Canned Baby Corn

Baby corn consists of small, whole cobs of corn harvested very young, before the kernels develop, then heat-processed and preserved in brine. They have a delicate, mildly sweet flavour and a tender yet firm texture. Unlike regular canned corn kernels, baby corn is eaten whole, cob included. In the kitchen, they are most commonly used in Asian dishes, stir-fries, soups, and noodle bowls. They also work well in salads, as a side dish, or as a garnish. They feature in many Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese recipes. A practical preserved ingredient with a long shelf life that brings an Asian dimension to any meal.
