Pickled corn

Pickled corn is sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata) preserved in brine, vinegar or its own liquid. It is harvested at the milk stage to retain its natural sweetness and juiciness. The pickling or canning process keeps the kernels tender and flavourful year-round. It is used in salads, on pizza, in soups, salsas and Mexican-style dishes, as well as a side dish or spread ingredient. Unlike frozen corn, it requires no cooking and is ready to use straight from the jar or tin. Its convenience and mild sweet flavour make it a popular kitchen staple.
