Notes
Keeps for 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
The corn can also be enjoyed as is or with your favourite seasonings.
*For this, you can use aerosol oils or equip yourself with an oil sprayer in which you can pour your own oil of choice. This helps limit the amount of added fat in recipes while covering the food well with oil.
