Corn on the Cob, White – A Vegan Pantry Ingredient from Vegan Venue
Corn on the Cob, White is a vegan pantry ingredient that we buy fresh to eat immediately, or refrigerate to preserve freshness to eat within a few days. See more about it below.
About White Corn on the Cob:
Most people probably think of corn on the cob as a vegetable, but it is really a grain. There are several common varieties of corn on the cob: yellow, mixed white and yellow, and white, which is pictured here. In our experience, we have seen only the yellow variety sold frozen either on the cob or cut. We have found a variety of flavors in corn on the cob depending on where it is grown and how long it has been since it was harvested. The longer it has been since the corn was harvested, the more bland the flavor, and the more “gummy” the texture.
We have found it best to buy only fresh corn on the cob that has a nice green husk. See the nutritional chart below for raw white corn on the cob. We could not find any nutritional information for cooked white corn on the cob, but it is probably very similar to the differences between the raw and cooked information for yellow corn on the cob.
