Organic Corn Kernels
Corn Kernels are corn that is removed from the cob. It is then frozen and vacuum packaged to maintain quality. No preservatives are used. They are packaged in 4 oz. (1/4 lb.) bags so that each bag constitutes a one cup serving. Corn Kernels are sold by the pound, so each package is comprised of four bags. These can be used in place of fresh corn in cooked products.

Corn also has many additional health benefits:
- The yellow pigments in corn, “lutein” and “zeaxanthin” are
members of the caratenoid family. They protect a super sensitive
part of the eye called the macula—a crucial part of vision
that is lost as we age and causes blindness in the elderly. Only
yellow corn has this pigment. Eat yellow corn!
