Frozen corn consists of sweet corn kernels preserved by freezing, typically sold as loose kernels in bags. The kernels are sweet and sunny-yellow, and when heated briefly they deliver a crisp-tender pop; they hold shape in saute, soups, chowders, casseroles, and skillet sides.

Sweet corn was domesticated in the Americas and features prominently in North American cooking; widespread freezing for retail grew in the 20th century. Commercial packs use milk-stage ears that are blanched and individually quick frozen to capture peak flavor.
