dried corn

Dehydrated golden grain

Dried corn is corn kernels that have been dehydrated for preservation or specific culinary uses.

The drying process concentrates flavor and allows storage without refrigeration.

Dried corn can be reconstituted by soaking, ground into cornmeal or masa, or popped.

In American cooking, it often appears in soups and stews: She added dried corn to the chowder.
