Looking for sweet corn on the cob without the hassle of shucking and detassling? Columbia Fresh Produce now offers sweet corn in 6-inch long cobs, pre-cooked and vacuumed packed, which offers an amazingly long shelf life when kept refrigerated.
The sweet corn variety is a peaches and cream seed, which is a bi-colored (mixed yellow and white kernels) corn offering great visual appeal and a fresh crunchy taste. “You will not believe the taste of this corn as compared to frozen products offered today,” Hall offered.
This sweet corn grows in some of the richest vegetable growing regions of North America where cool nights increase the sugar content of the corn. It offers not only a consistent size, but also simple and fast warming preparation times, allowing users to prepare orders quickly. Warming is easy via microwave, steam tables, boiling, or grilling. Since the product is pre-cooked, it only needs to warm to serving temperature and with individually vacuum-sealed ears, shrink or loss of product is almost non-existent. No shrink, no cleaning, and easy, fast preparation are all welcomed features to restaurant operators.
Ruben’s Mexican Grill (Dyer, Indiana) is using Sunbites® in three different dishes: a traditional Elote Corn on the Cob, Shrimp & Corn Soup, and a new Corona® Beer Battered Sunbites® Sweet Corn Fritter appetizer. “This product is so easy to use and it saves me time, and has allowed me to offer three unique new dishes to our menu with very little effort”, said Chef Ruben Calvo of Ruben’s Mexican Grill (Dyer, Indiana).
