Amifruit are famed for their unique methods of fruit and vegetable preservation: Instead of packaging corn kernels in the customary tin cans or frozen in plastic bags as we are used to finding in any generic supermarket, Amifruit freeze-dries them, and in doing so, manages to retain more of the natural nutrients from the corn.
Freeze-drying is a process that removes all the moisture from food, while maintaining more of the flavor and nutrition than conventional dehydrating. This is particularly beneficial considering that corn is packed with dietary fiber, protein, Vitamin C and rich in antioxidants. Freeze Dried Corn Kernels also have an extremely long shelf life of almost a year and the nutritious value of each kernel remains the same for the entire duration – meaning you can happily leave it in your pantry without a second thought until you need it.
Luckily for us, not only does corn have so many nutritional benefits, but it is also very versatile in its possible culinary uses. You can rehydrate Amifruit’s freeze dried corn kernels with a little water and add to chili recipes, chowders and vegetable soups, as well as corn muffins. Amifruit recommends using the corn kernels as inclusions in fat-based substances like chocolate or praline.
