Substitution for fresh corn - Corn and Red Tomato on Green Table

I have a recipe for sweet corn bread and it calls for fresh corn and it is very hard to find fresh corn in winter; can it be replaced with frozen corn?



Best Answer

Personally I find frozen or canned is usually much better quality taste and texture wise to the fresh cobs. Good quality canned/frozen sweet corn is picked and frozen/canned within hours of picking whereas cobs in the market could easily be over a week old by the time you get it home.

So yes, you can easily substitute canned/frozen for fresh.

Same goes for peas.

Answer 2

Nothing like fresh, in season, corn. However, it freezes well and frozen corn is an acceptable substitute. You could also try canned corn, which would provide a corn punch, but may contain extra salt and/or sugar.
