What Makes Great Creamed Corn?
A common side dish in the Midwest and popular across the country, creamed corn is a terrific accompaniment to meat and potato dishes, especially chicken and turkey. Creamed corn brings a nice, sweet dimension to any hearty meal. Our chefs define high quality shelf-stable creamed corn as having a bright appearance with few broken kernels. Creamed corn should not seem overly puréed or processed. The aroma should be noticeable, with a complex character delivering corn, natural sweetness and husky notes. There should be no inappropriate off notes detracting from the overall aroma or flavor. To be in taste balance, the most pronounced basic taste should be a bold natural sweetness, similar to white corn; a discernible saltiness should enhance the sweetness. Boasting additional sweet and husky flavor notes, the complex flavor character should match the aroma’s complexity. The texture should be creamy and smooth without being overly gelatinous. Look for an approximate ratio of 60% corn kernel
