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.
